Is there a way to mount Ultravid binoculars on a tripod or monopod? Thanks.

I think it can only be done with a clamp.

A Cardoza Sure Lock for roof prism binos is offered through Eagle Optics for $24.95, but I would call Eagle Optics first to get a heads up on if they'll work for Ultravids, and how secure it fits to the tripod head.

Inbuilt tripod sockets seem to be going the way of the dodo, as least for terrestrial bins. Even the big 1.3kg Duovid lives with the tripod adapter, part #42200: this is a foam-topped metal plate with a strap to hold down the bin. A rinky-dink affair that sorta works. I use a third-party version on my Zeiss FL.

Thank you all. The Cardoza thing looks like it won't hold much.
