Looks good

Just received this adapter from B&H. Fitted to my Nikon 7x50 marine binoculars easily. Looks like it has several mounting positions for my tripod which was unexpected. Will update when I have used it more extensively.

Satisfactory

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have no major complaints. It's good that I can mount my binoculars on a monopod because I suffer from mild palsy and it's difficult for me to hold binoculars steady by freehand. A steady view is important to me for being able to identify the birds I am watching. The only flaw I can cite is that the adapter does not fit super tight to the binoculars, but this is so minor as to be insignificant. Other than that I fully recommend this product.
