Looking for a Bino mount for my tripod. I had the vortex adapter but I don’t like how it attaches. Looking to switch to one of the strap versions. Any suggestions on a reasonably priced one?

Bogpod makes a nice strap style one.

I was not impressed with the strap style but that is all that work with my old Leica's. Unless I want to drill or use epoxy. And I don't. Those binos are lucky so not risking any mad scientist projects with them.

I like this one the best. Its quick on and off. I tried a couple different styles.
The swarovski mount is very nice as well. I have that one on my SLC's

The outdoorsmans tripod adapter is the best and simplest I have found. Rock solid too. Oh and be sure to get the correct stud for mounting.

Not "reasonably" priced, but I second outdoorsmans. It is a super slick and rock solid system. Well thought out and is quick detachable so you can switch different binos onto the same post.

I was not able to find any benefits to the more expensive models as they all have essentially the same features so I went cheap. So far so good.

Now that one has some features the others I have seen do not. I like being able to remove the binoculars easily.

In the wind that one rattles though and is not solid...especially the Wyoming wind.

This. Just the tripod adapter on its own and the stud for your binos would only run you about $80. Well worth it for the ease and function of that thing, and if taken care of it could conceivably last a lifetime.

It must blow harder in Wyoming than it blows in Nebraska because it worked great there for me.

Nothing compares to Outdoorsmans mount. Not even close. It's simple and built like a tank.

+1 for this one. It has served me well. I keep an extra tripod mount base with the receiver screwed on and keep it in the side pocket of my AGC harness and it’s always handy.

I’ve made a few that work pretty well. If you’re interested in one let me know and I’ll send you a couple pictures.

Thanks for all the responses! I’ll to weight the options.
Outdoorsman mount here too- I didn't want to spend that kind of money either, but I only wanted to buy it once so I went with it. Glad I did, it comes off in a second and is easy to attach and remove with gloves/cold fingers. Rock solid and its nice being able to just leave the little stud in the front of the binos.
