Leica Binocular Tripod Adapter
Key Features
  • Mount Binoculars on a Tripod
  • For Compact and Mid-Sized Binoculars
  • Elastic Belt Secures Optic to Base Plate
  • Standard 1/4"-20 Tripod Mount
Quickly and easily mount just about any binocular onto a support system using Leica's Binocular Tripod Adapter, even if the optic isn't equipped with a traditional mounting hole. A reliable and sturdy elastic rubber belt stretches over the optic and snaps into a retaining clip on the base — securing it without marking or damaging the binocular's chassis or armor.

Nice piece of kit but unfortunately doesn't fit Leica 8x56

By Geoffrey
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2023-05-16

This is without doubt a nicely made piece of kit and I'm sure will be an excellent adapter for anyone with appropriately sized binoculars. I have the Leica GeoVid Pro 8x56 and this adapter was listed as a recommended accessory on the B&H web page. Sadly it's considerably too small for the 56s. Would possibly work for 42s and certainly would for 32s. This would probably be a five-star review except I'm a little disappointed that it was listed as a recommended accessory, despite being nowhere close to the right size, but that's a B&H issue and not a reflection upon Leica's quality.

Very sturdy

question

Can the Ultravid 8x20 and 10x25 binoculars be held by this adapter or are they too small?
Asked by: Michael
The tripod adapter wasnt really designed for the compacts so even though you can put them together, Im not sure that its entirely practical.

Which Arca fitting do I need to attach the Leica Binocular Adapter to the tripod?
Asked by: Peter
The Leica Binocular Tripod Adapter has a standard 1/4-20 female so it can be used with any QR plate that has a standard 1/4-20 stud. Most Arca compatible plates use a 1/4-20 stud.

Will this accommodate the Ultravid hd plus 12x50? It says it's for compact and mid sized binoculars. Thx
Asked by: Chris
Yes, it will accommodate the 12x50 Ultravid HD Plus no problem. The B&H listing will be updated as this adapter is for mid to full size binoculars, not compact to mid size.
