Recently picked up a pair of Meostars 15x56 and looking for a solid mounting option for locking into a RRS leveling base for matches. They have the 1/4-20 threaded hole on the opposite side of focus knob. I bought a cheap tripod adapter and arca plate to get by in the mean time, but looking for better options.

Started looking at outdoorsman mounts but they quickly approach or exceed a Swaro tripod adapter. Thanks in advance.
 
My Meopta 12X50's barely fit on my swarovski universal tripod adapter, I really have to stretch to just get them on. I have a BOG-POD Bino Rest that works better. There is the Leica rest that's around 100 thats a little nicer than the Bog-Pod or Nikon has a crew in adapter for $50 that says it would fit 56 objective binocs. I have been looking myself might go for Leica adapters.

The Outdoorsmans mount is worth it. Especially when there's a bit of wind and your binos start vibrating. The cheap tripod mount I had before was like a rubber diving board, so much vibration it would ruin the view when the wind blew.

Which setup do you run from outdoorsman? I saw they require a stud that is bino specific, I'm assuming this can be user installed?

I run their tall mount for the Swaro 15x56 binos. The stud is a very basic and user installable. All it does is screw into the 1/4-20 screw mount on the binos then has a set screw that keeps it from backing out. Then the stud clips into the mounting post. The mounting post has a screw hole on the bottom so you can attach a tripod plate to it. I picked up one of the very small arca plates off ebay for a couple bucks and it's a perfect fit.

the website is confusing and does make it seem this way. but it doesn't need anything special. just buy the mount, and install onto binos

Is this Dan Chattin?

you can take a look at mine next match if you want.
