I have the Nikon 7218 Action 10 X 50mm Binoculars and this tripod adapter works perfectly for it. It's easy to connect, adjust, and mount onto my tripod.

This L-shape metal piece came as a pleasant surprise. The tripod adapter fits right into where the front screw that holds the two tubes together. Once installed, I leave the adapter on permanently so I can use the binocular without mounting on a tripod for general viewing, and only mount the binocular on the tripod when viewing the stars at night. In summary, this simple solution does work, and work every well. (It so simple, so it seemed to be overpriced--however this is not really a complaint.)

The item pictured is the Nikon Universal Adapter. I ordered it and received a Nikon Adapter. A simple L-bracket with two threaded holes for the tripod and a captive bolt with thumb wheel for the binoculars. Curiously, it was what I was shopping for so I was satisfied and didn't return the item. It does its job but is over priced so four stars.

Optics Planet advertised shipment in 3-5 weeks. After 30 days I emailed to see if it was in stock yet & Optics Planet replied stating that it will be at least 4 more months before they will have it in stock.
