Designed with specific models in mind, the Nikon Action/Action EX/Marine Series Binocular Tripod Adaptor allows you to easily mount them, or any other binocular with a 1/4"-20 threaded socket, onto a photo/video/field tripod for hands-free use. The configuration of the adapter makes it ideal for Porro prism models, with a large knob for easy installation and removal. The base of the adapter has a 1/4"-20 mount to be compatible with a wide variety of support systems including tripods, monopods, and window mounts. Using your binoculars, especially high-power ones or those with large objective lenses, helps to steady the view, reduce vibrations, and eliminate arm fatigue.

Simple to attach
Exactly what we needed for our Nikon Aculon binoculars. Easily attached to binoculars and tripod. Seems quite heavy duty/durable. Should have bought this years ago. Makes star gazing more enjoyable having on tripod!
It's too short
The biggest problem with this adapter and the Action EX porro prism binoculars (with 50mm objectives) is the lack of height. That's not a problem if you eyes are wide set. The narrower your eye's (interpupillary distance), the lower the tubes on the binoculars drop as you squeeze them together. At the narrow end, with the tubes close together, they sit at or below the plane of where this adaptor screws on to a tripod plate. So...when the tubes hit that plate or the rest of your tripod head, you won't be able to squeeze the binoculars together to fit you eyes. This happens somewhere around 62mm interpupillary on the 16x50 binos. Anything less than that and you can forget about it. You will need to put a spacer between your tripod plate and the bottom of this Nikon adapter, and use longer screws to connect. In addition, as others have mentioned, the screw attachment to your binoculars at the top of the adaptor is not the most robust. Better be gentle.
