How do they attach to the binoculars? Will it work with Minolta 8x40?

They have a nylon loop that threads through itself to attach to the ring or metal/plastic attachment point on your binoculars. I use mine to hold a large Nikon DSLR and long zoom lens without any problem. You may need someone to help adjust the straps for your use.

The harness normally attaches to where to the neck strap attachment points on any binocular.

Yes they will. I attached them using split rings (like on a key chain) that I got at Hobby Lobby. The harness then detaches using quick release buckles. I LOVE THEM!!!! One of the best purchases I've made this year!

The attachment straps are loops that you push through the brackets on the binoculars and then double back through themselves, about 3/8 wide webbing, so they should work fine as long as the original straps can be removed. I also have monarchs and these work great.

Harvey, They screw on to the front of the lens like a filter. I have experimented with both sets of lens and they seem to well. You'll need the tripod for the 2X and maybe the macro lenses.

To my knowledge it works with all binoculars. I have Nikon Monarch's and it works great.

Hi, Bought one for our 10x50 binoculars and it works well. A little ackward at first but an affordable approach to using a tripod to stabilize things. Hope this helps.

With an adapter that is available thru Amazon and others, most any tripod that will accept a camera. You can't attach these without the adapter. It is an L shaped piece of metal that attaches to the front of the binoculars and then to the tripod. Hope this helps.

There is a removable piece that attaches to what is being held up by the tripod, so your binoculars or whatever easily is detached or re-attached. Folds to about 3' long, 6" in diameter.

As long as the bayonet mounting tabs match the minolta MD I would think they would work.I can't say for sure if the mounts are the same for the MC and MD types.You just don't get any auto with the lens. Also the focus is not as crisp with the adapter.They say you can remove the glass from the adapter to get crisp focus but lose the ability to focus closerjust infinity focus.Refer to "http://www.rokkorfiles.com/Lens%20History.html"Refer to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_SR-mount"

Almost all binocs are set up for the tripod adapter. If the center cap unscrews from the pivot point of your binocs and the is a threaded hole there, your binocs will accept the tripod mount.

not exactly certain what you are asking. You are referring to the plastic clips on the harness and how they attach to the binoculars? You say the binoculars have a strap loop? I don't see why the clips wouldn't fit the flat strap, but if there is problem, I'd replace the flat straps with a split ring or add split ring to the strap. Clipping or unclipping harness is easy with the split ring.

Try it and if not return it . I have one and works with several types of binoculars with a thread.

I never used a tripod with this. But on the bottom of the binoculars near the front is a threaded opening that looks to be designed for a tripod.

I use a monopod. It carries the weight of the binoculars, allowing you to focus while only having to hold the horizontal position steady. I prefer this solution to the tripod.

Steven,I originally purchased a Canon quick release, but found them unsatisfactory. I replaced the Canon with Leupold Quick release, and have them attached to Nikon 12 X 36 Monarchs. Works great. I would suggest also that you consider getting a Bino Shield, manufactured by Crooked Horn. I have a medium size, and it fits well with the Nikon. If you are a hunter, these shields are the cats meow. Keeps the Binoculars from flopping around, and keeps the dust and debris off the glasses.JK

You may have received a response from me earlier. This evening when I returned home, I used a set of my binoculars and tried to mount to tripod. Not a good idea. The picture above looks different than one I have. I would discuss your needs with a local shop.

Check out the following website - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_SR-mount. You will note that the adaptor in question is specifically for the MC and MD lenses

Use a monopod or tripod designed to accommodate a large SLR camera. If you use a lightweight monopod or tripod you will probably notice the vibration movement of these high-power binoculars.
