Solid As phx said in the first review, the bolt handle is flat, making it easy to tighten. The adapter feels very solid and the mounting bolt appears to be steel. There is a lock washer on the mounting bolt that helps keep it tight. Even so, the binos will rotate with a bit of a push. It wasn’t obvious to me from the photos that the adapter mounts on the plate of a tripod by means of the tripod’s mounting bolt, just as a camera would. I’m happy with it.
phx Excellent!! I love the new shape at the end. It is not a circle as in the past models, but instead a flat end. The flat end allows the screw to be turned easier in a tight spot between the binos. It also allows the binos to close to a smaller distance while mounted on the tripod. Vortex makes a great product.
excellent stability As has been said, the screw has a flat end that tightens by hand easily enough. It doesn’t stay tight so check it now and again whilst in the field and retighten. Thus the four stars instead of five. Once you use your binoculars with a tripod you will never want to hand hold them again! The view is rock steady and you just can’t achieve that hand held.
