    Mounting a UVHD+ to a tripod

    The Outdoorsman cap is a very precise fit over the end of the hinge, and the 3 set screws register in a deep groove. The cap isn't relying on just the friction of the set screws; because of the groove, all 3 screws would have to fail in shear. It's a pretty elegant solution.

    Mounting a UVHD+ to a tripod

    Does anyone have experience mounting a 12x50 UVDH+ to a tripod or monopod? The Leica-branded strap thingy (Leica Binocular Tripod Adapter) looks very clunky, especially for terrestrial observation where one is using the binoculars alternately handheld and mounted -- is this in fact the case...
