SWAROVSKI OPTIK UTAs Universal Tripod Adapter
Key Features
  • Mount Binoculars on a Tripod
  • For SLC 42, EL, and EL Range Binoculars
  • Rubber Strap Secures Optic to Base Tray
  • Arca-Swiss Compatible QR Plate
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 use—from 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.

Not Arca Standard

Will probably require adjustment of the arca base clamp in order to work with standard arca dimensions. Did not work with the QD clamps on my RRS and Arca Swiss ballheads and leveling bases. I had to add a base plate because my binoculars almost wiggled free on two of my ballheads. Definitely not the best solution, may have to return for something better as I'm still in the return window.

My winner... Swarovski UTA

Easy set up, firmly holds my binoculars, and well made. Easy to swap out to another pair. Much preferable for me than attaching a tripod adopter to my binoculars. A quality product.

This Adapter will work. However I would recommend the Snapzoom Universal Binocular Tripod Mount, which might fit that Model slightly better. Link: https://bhpho.to/2K5jDYx

in order to use this adapter do I need a tripod with a head?
Asked by: Juan
The Swarovski UTA has a dovetail on the bottom side, if your tripod accepts a dovetail then it will mount, however you would not have any movement so I would advise purchasing a head

Hello, It will work with the plate, but a ball-grip head may be difficult to pan with. Best Regards, David Eickelmann Customer Relations Specialist [email protected] 800-426-3089 ext 1
