The knurled screwdriver-enabled knob makes attaching while wearing gloves easy, but they also include a thinner allen wrench knob, in case the regular knob interferes with the binocular's minimum interpupillary distance setting.
Note! Not for Nikon's Astronomy series binoculars.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
This adapter is a huge help when you are glassing for many hours at a time. Using it with a decent tripod takes all of the shake out your binos, even in high winds. Be sure to bring a multitool with a flathead screwdriver to get the best tightness out of the screw joint. Because most binos don't leave a lot of room between the objective lenses, it can be tough to hand tighten the screw unless you have one.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
Works exactly the way I expected to. Mounted it on a Manfrotto monopod and took out most of the shake of the 12x50 binoculars. Unit still light and easy to carry in the woods.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
What can I say about a Nikon binocular tripod adapter other than it works as designed.
What is impressive is that - once again - BH has come through for me with flying colors. The correct product arrived at my doorstep in record time! In this day and age of slapping it together and calling it "good enough", this sort of attention to customer needs and satisfaction is exceptional.
BH is among my top "go to" companies and should be so for everybody.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
I bought this binocular tripod adapter so I could use my tripod to hold my binoculars steady. It works great and you can get a much better and longer look without any movement of the binoculars. It is much easer on the arms for long time viewing. It also works good with another pair of larger binoculars that I have.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
I have my Nikon Action Binoculars mounted with the Tripod Adapter on my standard tripod. It is so easy to release so I can swap with my camera. Much easier to focus and hold steady for those times when extended viewing is necessary. Easy to install and now I just leave it on all the time.

Comments about Nikon Tripod Adapter (for Binoculars with a 1/4"-20 Threaded Tripod Socket):
This adapter is great. I use it attached to a monopod. It allows me a relaxed view through my porro-prism binocualars that are 10x and in need a steady hand.
They have also allowed me to pretend I've got a 600mm telephoto camera lens. I just hold my camera phone, a Blackberry, to the rubber cup of the binos after focusing, and snap. Without fixing the binoculars to something steady via this adapter, such an opperation would be very difficult, if not impossible.
Next purchase will probably be a tripod to free up the second hand that is quickly becoming occupied with wildlife cameraphone photography.
