Is this suitable for smaller binoculars, for example Nikon 8 X 42?

The tripod is much more heavy duty than the picture shows. I'm using it with a 20 x 80 pair of binoculars. I believe that this is well suited for the binoculars you are looking at. I am very happy with the item.

Not know those binoculars, I'm guessing yes considering it held the huge Orion Giant View binoculars. The tri pod is not small and does have a bit of weight to it but I found it very high quality and easy to maneuver. It has 12" ruler markings on the legs so u can make sure set even.

Probably OKill for those. Depends so much on what you want them for. If hiking with them pick a pod based on weight is my advice.

Yes. This tripod has many adjustable settings and can be used for all sizes of binoculars, scopes, etc.

I, too, am a woman with a pretty small face, but I can fold the two lenses down toward each other and it works for me. If you fold them too far, the lenses black out. I hope you can make it work because I really like these binoculars.

I bought this kit and it depends on the size of the eyepieces on your binoculars. It fits a few of my telescope lens but not all of them and fits my Canon 18 x 50 IS binoculars.

The binoculars do not have a tripod mount. Sorry, but I don't know if one is even available; I wouldn't think so. But, it would be beat to check with Nikon.

Absolutely, I use them with Orion 20x30 astronomical binocs, and lately have taken to using this tripod for my Nikon D3 full frame camera, as it is very stable. Solid, heavy, and very stable.

I actually purchased these for a camera that I sometimes use a zoom lense with that is quite heavy. The camera straps usually go around the neck causing me a lot of neck and back pain. So my uncle suggested this for the camera and I will never go back to the others. If it will take the weight of the camera and lense, I am sure it can handle any binoculars. I hope this is helpful!

This mono pod should easily hold binoculars. It can hold a heavier camera & does not collapse with force/weight exerted when standing. It is stable.

I agree with R. Meling. Look at camera cases. Be sure to bring the binoculars into the store so you can check for fit.

You would need a space 6" x 6" x 3". Those are the outside dimensions of the carrying case that comes with the binoculars. As an aside, these are outstanding for the money,

Generally 8X42 will focus in more closely than 10X42. That being said, it will vary by model and manufacturer also. If you go to the Carson website you can find a pdf file that talks about the specifications of all their binocs, including close focus distance. The Carson 8X42 3D model that I have actually focuses a little closer than the specifications say, around 6.8ft I believe. Carson also makes a set of "Close focus" binoculars that I believe can focus down to 5.5 feet or so, which is really close! EW

10x42 brings the image closer, but at a small cost: it is harder to locate the object you are trying to look at through the binoculars because of the narrower field of view [than the 8x42], and it is a little harder to hold them steady. Having said that, I purchased the 10x42 and find them perfect for watching wildlife a couple of hundred yards away in the wetlands behind our home.

Yes, and yes. But, a good pair of 10x50 porros are hard to beat for convenience and all-around astro use. Good field of view and good magnification for most binocular objects. 8x40s are also quite useful. Young eyes might be up to using a good pair of 7x50 under fairly dark (rural) skies. That said, to take a quick handheld looksee at the Moon or Jupiter or Mars or the Orion Nebula or Comets or Hawks or Gulls this pair of 12x60 is awesome in my opinion. And that said, but if I only had one pair of binoculars I would probably opt for a good 8x40 (8x42/44) pair of water/fog proof porro prism bins. The Bushnell Legacy and the Pentax PCF WP come to mind. Or a good pair of 8x40 roof prism bins. I wouldn't bother with any porro that didn't at least have Phase Coating PC for Astro use.

The small field of view might make it frustrating for sporting events- this is true of all compact binoculars. If you don't mind carrying something bigger, a 7 x 35 or 8 x 42 pair would work better for sports. But if you really want something small that fits in your coat pocket, these would be fine.

I've used this tripod to hold a dslr attached to a spotting scope. I'm sure that the total weight was over six pounds and the tripod handled it with no problem at all. I'm sure that it will be fine for your binoculars.

I do not know. I bought mine to hold binoculars. It is a camera tripod though and should hold any camera.

Yes, I bought two for a trip to Kruger Park, South Africa - one 8x42 and one 10x42. I did not find weight to be a problem because we were always in a vehicle when game viewing. You can't go on hikes when there are lions around! I liked them because they are robust, waterproof and the lens caps are attached (two fit on the binoculars and two attached to the strap). I found the 8x42 to be more practical, especially when viewing from a moving vehicle on bumpy roads.

I bought it for a NIKON with kit lens, and it is a tight fit. It will not accommodate a larger lens.
