Use the Swarovski Optik UTAs Universal Tripod Adapter to quickly, easily, and safely mount your SLC 42, EL, and EL Range Binoculars onto a tripod for hands-free useāfrom the small EL 8x32 all the way up to the EL 12x50. While it is specifically designed for these families of binoculars, the UTAs will work on most other mid-sized binoculars that are not outfitted with a traditional threaded socket on the bridge hinge. Instead this adapter has a tray that the binocular rests on, with a rubber strap that hold the optic in place without marking or marring the armor. The bottom of the tray has an Arca-type compatible plate to fit into quick release bases and heads as well as a larger 3/8"-16 and smaller standard 1/4"-20 tripod mounts.
