Tripods for 25x70. Do I use the small Barska adapter or the screw on the bottom of binocs? What type tripod? If known, what's the exact name.

you must use the adapter that comes with the binocs. Using this you can attach any standard tripod or monopod like I use.

Tripod is fine. Monopod you're risking shaky footage. Image is incomparable, but I use the 24-105 IS if I have to do handheld or monopod work.

It holds my 10x50 with an adapter mount called Barska binocular tripod mount. I suspect it will hold 15x70 just as easily.

The very top of most tripods is a 1/4 screw so you can screw on a camera direct or any female 1/4 item. It's built in - not an adaptor or accessory. I've put a 5dm3 on it buts it's really flimsy and obviously cannot rotate like a fluid ball head could but it'll work in a pinch

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

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.

Any standard tripod works with this. We've used a few different ones and they have all worked with no problems.

Hi Shaun,Merry Christmas! Can't say for sure, but tripod mounts (all I've ever seen) appear to be a standard size, and have been so for the 30+ years I've been into photography. So, my somewhat educated guess would be a fairly emphatic yes.Peace,Dan

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.

You will need an adapter but it is possible. http://www.celestron.com/browse-shop/sport-optics/accessories/binocular-tripod-adapter

Like James said, on the bottom is a 3/8-16(?...coarse thread for light stands and such) with an insert to convert it to 1/4-20. This is probably most useful on a monopod or a bogen superclamp, but it could work on a tripod, if you didn't have a head on it already. It's kind of small, so it might be challenging to adjust it between another head and a camera. I use mine for GoPros on superclamps.

The binocular has a tripod mount, so you should be able to use it. This tripod has the standard mount.

If you haven't already bought this, you can buy this adapter without the tripod mount. That's the unit that I got. If you've already bought it, perhaps you can still exchange it. An example is at Fotasy AMMD Minolta MD MC Mount Lens to Micro 4/3 Four Thirds System Camera Mount Adapter

To May knowledge bushnell has only one tripod adapter. I use mine on a unipod, for bird watching and it works fine. I would not be able to hold my binoculars steady without it. As for using it on a tripod, the must important thing, is the quality of the tripod. If used on a flimsy tripod it will not work! Must have a study tripod. Again, I would purchase again in a heartbeat. Very satisfied.

I think a longer plate will be very helpful. The gimbal will fit any regular tripod screw.

I use a D7000 on a manfrotto 190XPROB with 70-200mm rock solid. It's base can be screwed on most tripods. I think the thread pattern is standard.
