Secure Your Binoculars with Barska's Tripod Adaptor

Steve G: Works well with my 25X80 astro binoculars from celestron. Better, more solid adapter than what Celestron provided with binoculars. No issues attaching it to my tripod quick release mount.

Gary A. AideGary A. Aide: I've been looking for a sturdy, easy to use, binocular mount for my large 80 x 20 astronomical binoculars and I've found it. This mount fits right on my camera tripod using the 1/4" screw mount as found on most tripods. This mount should also work well on standard size binoculars and smaller tripods. The mount screws onto the front of the binocular hinge and tightens down snuggly so that the binoculars don't rock side to side so much unlike other binocular mounts that rock too easily. Don't misunderstand, the binoculars will still swivel with this mount but not as easily. Using small binoculars should result in an even tighter lock down. Overall, I'm very pleased.

sal: This works fine with my Vector Diamondback HD binox, but as delivered it wants to spin (within the bounds of the 2 lens barrels), will not lock down. It needs some sort of soft lock washer - would not want to use a hard one - or similar to hold it in place. I tried a few things that did not work and ended up with a 2 layer piece of old bike inner tube with a hole punched in the center, fit over the screw that threads into the binocular mount, between the mount and the binocular. Semi-elegant, but works fine. More elegant would be a proper rubber washer. A selection of appropriately sized rubber washers and o-rings can be found inexpensively in a kit of faucet washers used to stop faucets from leaking.

Fayaz Bawa: Recently got a pair of Celestron Astro Binoculars. The binoculars come with a tripod adapter so I never thought you would need one and I didn't understand why all the reviews said you did. However, I still ordered an Opticron mount first from amazon and I thought it worked - but it was horrible, almost broke my binoculars one day when they fell off the tripod. I did not realize how one of these should fit until I ordered this Barska one. It's perfect - extremely sturdy and now makes me realize how bad the previous ones were and how a tripod adapter should really fit. If you have a recently got a pair of Celestron 15x70 or 25x70s, this is the mount/adapter you need! Don't bother researching more and just get this!!

Bucky Katt: A month or so ago I purchased a set of Celestron SkyMaster 15x70 astronomical binoculars. The binoculars come with a fairly flimsy tripod adapter so you can attach these4 large binoculars to a camera tripod to steady them when viewing. The Celestron adapter is made of plastic and wobbles when they have the binoculars attached to them making them almost useless. So after reading the reviews for the all metal Barska tripod adapter I placed my order for one and it arrived today.

It is indeed all metal (except for the screw knob to attach it to the binoculars. For the price it seems to be very well made. It attached easily to my old tripod and was _much_ better than what came from Celestron. The larger knob was much easier to grasp and turn to attach the adapter to the binoculars and they held the binoculars steady without any wobble. What motion you do have, however, is the tilt (yaw) of the binoculars which is not a problem as it does allow you to angle them to suit your needs. I also attached it to my new monopod and it was perfect for what I wish to use it for. I am very happy with this purchase.

One Degree Life: I picked up a pair of Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars here on Amazon and though they came with a tripod mount, it wasn't very good. The plastic one was EXTREMELY flimsy and generated too much unwanted and unnecessary shake given the field of view. I purchased this Barska unit as an alternative and the problem is solved. It works perfectly with the SkyMasters and provides a solid, steady platform to view the night sky. To further solidify the setup, I got a Really Right Stuff multi-use plate B76 for the bottom. Since I use the RRS heads for photography use as well, it was a no-brainer. The lip on the plate rests against the wide side of the base of the Barska and keeps it from rotating. The only con to this setup is that the stupid plate cost MORE than the binoculars!!! Ha.

This Barska works very well, esp. for the price (under $12) and honestly Celestron should strike a deal with this company to begin with. The provided mount isn't good at all.
