recommendations for Swarovski SLC binocular tripod adapter, last year I sold my Swarovski adapter along with my SLC 15x56 Binos which was a bonehead move because now I need an adapter and online the Swarovski adapters are nearly $200 now.
Any decent adapters our there for under $100? See many on feebay for under $25 but they look like crap.
thanks
Ted

Outdoorsmans. The cheap ones aren’t worth owning.

I would now recommend the Tricer stud and adapter. Cannot go wrong with ODM but there are other ways to skin a cat...

Aziak equipment bino clamp. Goes on one barrel and uses a arca-swiss dovetail. Weighs less than 1/2 oz and super steady. No need for a stud install. I love it! https://www.aziakequipment.com/product-page/bino-clamp

I've gone from a Sirui VA-5 to a Tricer and couldn't be more happy for binos. Super solid and super light. Not sure how a large spotter would go though.
Never used any Outdoorsman's but I'm sure they are great from what everyone says.

Outdoorsmans. The cheap ones aren’t worth owning. Usually I would agree, but not this time. I've been using a $25 plastic adapter with an elastic band over the top of the binoc for a couple years now, and love it. A big bonus is that I can take the binocular off and use it to set the rifle stock on for taking long shots when a prone position is not available. I love it.

Can't speak to how it works because I haven't tried it yet. Call Doug and his people and speak to them. https://cameralandny.com/shop/swaro...885&query=Swarovski%20bino%20adapter
