Binoculars #5271  
Congratulations on your purchase of the  
¼"-20 binocular

Orion Versatile Tripod Adapter for Binoculars!  
This quality adapter is ideal for mounting  
binoculars up to 80mm in aperture on a tripod  
equipped with a ¼"-20 attachment stud, for  
comfortable, steady viewing. Made of solid  
cast aluminum, the adapter’s sturdy stem is  
slim enough to accommodate both roof-prism  
and porro-prism binoculars – hence, the  
“versatile” in its name. We hope you enjoy  
using the Versatile Tripod Adapter and wish  
you many years of rewarding viewing!
