Richard Salt 27/01/2007 19:18:49 | Hi, I was wondering if this mount could be used with a pair of Soviet era 7x50 bins. I am wondering if those screws would get in the way? |
eebc - Chris 27/01/2007 19:29:50 | If they look something like the image HERE with a fairly thin bridge between the two barrels then it should work. |
david thursfield 18/12/2007 18:12:39 | Does the opticron clamp have a female thread at its base please which would fit my EN.GEE tripod male threaded turn screw which has a diameter of 5mm or maybe 1/4" please?
Thanks |
eebc - Chris. 18/12/2007 20:06:56 | It has a standard (1/4" Whitworth) female tripod thread on the bottom.
Assuming the thread on your tripod is 1/4" Whitworth (nearly all tripods are, the only other size occasionally used is 1/2" Whitworth for large format cameras), it should just screw straight on to your tripod. |
Ken Rogers 23/12/2007 15:55:20 | Hi,
Ref Opticon 31006 could you advise the distance from one side of the clamp to the other. Just trying to work out if this will fit my binoculars. Thank you |
eebc - Chris. 23/12/2007 16:18:56 | Thank you for your enquiry.
HxWxD 60x32x15mm I have updated the specifications above to show this information. The do tend to fit most binoculars with a finger-like bridge between the two barrels. |
Nicholas Kennett 29/01/2009 18:07:59 | Would you ship to Canada? This is exactly what I m looking for but I can t find anything locally.
Nicholas |
eebc - Chris. 30/01/2009 11:50:35 | Shipping to Canada is not a problem.
Airmail to Canada would add £0.50, making the total £10.24 and normally takes about a week to 10 days. |
Ray Williams 25/05/2011 13:03:09 | re Opticron 31006 binocular tripod clamp for binoculars without a tripod bush.
Is this clamp now available? It wasn t a few months ago. It is so useful and there is nothing else like it on the market. Thanks, Ray Williams |
eebc - Chris. 25/05/2011 13:13:37 | Yes, it is now available again and we have them in stock.
A few months ago, we were informed that Opticron had stopped making them, I do not know why, but (thankfully!) they have started making them again. |
jim 12/11/2011 22:03:17 | hi
i have a pair of meade 8 x 56 roof prism binos that have a centre focus whhel without a tripod bush do you know if there is anything i can use to mount them to a tripod please regards jim |
eebc - Chris 14/11/2011 10:07:15 | We have never stocked Meade binoculars so can only go on pictures from the internet, but they seem to have a covered hinge, so the the item on this page will not fit them.
Most modern binoculars have a removal cover at the front of the hinge (between the two objective lenses) which allows for a L shaped bracket to be screwed in, to allow fitting to a tripod. If the binoculars do not have any means of attaching them to a tripod, Zeiss make an adaptor, there is a picture of it at Optics Planet they sell for around £130.00 here in the UK. |
ken owens 13/11/2011 23:01:39 | I have an old pair of Prinz 10 times 50 binoculars.Would this mount fit ? as I want to see if I can use them with a tripod ? thanks |
eebc - Chris 14/11/2011 10:11:16 | Ken,
Assuming they have a "finger sized" hinge between the two barrels, like the Zeiss pictured here then this adaptor should be OK. |
Ian Kaye 17/05/2012 15:57:12 | Hi
Would this binocular clamp be suitable for a pair of bresser 9x63 binos? This particular pair does not have the normal tripod fitting bush; it must have been an earlier model. Regards Ian |
eebc - Chris 17/05/2012 16:34:41 | We do not stock Bresser equipment (not sure who even makes them these days), but having a look on the internet there appears to be three models.
The Diorit, Hunter and Linear. The Opticron Centre Focus Mount will not fit any of these models. The Diorit has a filled in bridge area, whilst the other two have the focus wheel along the centre of the binoculars (although they do look to have a tripod mount under the cover on the front hinge). If you have a different model, get in touch and I will do some more research. |
Goran 19/04/2015 20:37:01 | Hi
Can you please tell me, can I mount Nikon E II on this adapter? And how much would shipping cost to Croatia? Thank you |
eebc - Chris 21/04/2015 09:31:08 | We do not sell the N.ikon binoculars so can not try it, but looking at them, the Opticron Centre Focus mount should fit.
International Shipping would add £3.00 and take about a week. |
Boki 25/07/2015 10:07:17 | Hi, is this adapter bracket going to fit my Fujinon 10x50 FMTR-SX binoculars?
It has center post diameter of 13mm and not much room sideways. If i order one and it doesn't fit may i return it? Thank you. Best wishes, Boki. |
eebc - Chris. 25/07/2015 11:07:47 | It looks like it would fit, but the only way to be sure would be to try it.
Returning it for a refund if it does not fit is not a problem. Please note - we are currently out of stock of this item, we will be ordering some more next time we place an order with Opticron (probably in the next 3-4 weeks) |
abel 26/08/2015 10:06:08 | Hello!
Can you deliver me "Opticron centre focus mount" to Barcelona (Spain)? How much would it cost? Thanks. |
eebc - Chris 26/08/2015 10:55:12 | No problem, we have them in stock and can send them almost anywhere.
Shipping to Spain would add £2.00 Here is a link to add shipping to your order |
Matt 26/08/2019 23:44:58 | Would this bracket hold a opticron 10x24 monocular or could you please suggest another way to mount monocular to a tripod as sometimes I don't want to take my bins with me 😎 Guess I'm just idle at times |
eebc - Jamie 29/08/2019 11:39:12 | Sorry for the delay in replying to your question.
Short answer is probably not, Opticron do not currently produce a 10x24 monocular, but it is bound to be too big for the product shown. It will comfortable clamp onto something the size of a Sharpie pen, or possibly about the size of a finger. On the off chance you have one of the 10x42 monoculars (either BGA or DBA) then there is a tripod mounting ring for both of them: BGA Tripod Adaptor DBA Tripod Adaptor Obviously, things are not that simple, the DBA monocular has recently been updated so there is different adapters depending upon which one. I have also popped the catalogue you requested in the post today for you. |
