Orion® Versatile Tripod Adapter for

Binoculars #5271

Congratulations on your purchase of the 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!

To attach the Versatile Tripod Adapter to a tripod:

1.Thread the ¼"-20 stud on the tripod mounting shoe into the threaded socket on the bottom of the adapter until tight. The bottom of the Versatile Tripod Adapter has a rubber grip pad to ensure a firm grip on the tripod’s mounting shoe. Figure 2 shows the adapter attached to the tripod.

To attach the binoculars to the Versatile Tripod Adapter:

1.Make sure the tripod’s altitude axis is locked to prevent sudden rotation when the binoculars are mounted on the adapter.

2.Remove the cap from the binoculars’ threaded mounting socket, which is
