Tripods are used to steady binoculars or other optics for ease or enhancement of viewing, especially in outdoor environments. Hobbyists and professionals use binoculars to observe wildlife, terrain and astronomical conditions. Some folks train binoculars on beaches, landscapes or stunning city views from their decks or balconies. Whenever you need a long-range, long-term view, you'll find the visual quality instantly improved when you use a binocular tripod.
Instructions
Use a Binocular Tripod
1. Transport the tripod to your viewing site comfortably in a specially designed pack or using foam leg wraps when carrying over your shoulder.
2. Extend the telescoping model tripod legs to the proper length for your viewing height.
3. Ensure that the legs are open as far as they will spread.
4. Extend or lock the spreader bar between the legs.
5. Place the tripod on your chosen site and check to see that all the legs are the same length or calibrated for uneven terrain.
6. Tighten the leg tension devices to lock the legs in place.
7. Adjust the center column upward with the hand lever or other device for added height.
8. Attach the binocular to the tripod at the threaded or quick-release adapter site.
9. Make small adjustments of 2 inches or less to the tripod height with the binoculars attached. For larger adjustments, remove the optic and start over.
10. Remove the binocular first in order to move the tripod to a new viewing site.
