There are two main types of tripod adapters
1. L adapters
2.Parallelogram mounts
L adapters typically provide more room for movement and side-to-side tilting. They are reliable, sturdy, and available in a variety of styles, making them almost ideal for everyone.
On the other hand, for binoculars that weigh about 8 pounds, parallelogram mounts work great, as even for those seated or of varying heights, they offer a comfortable viewing experience.
