How does it attach to a tripod? Which tripod do you recommend? I have one for my spotting scope for the range.

It has the screw whole in the bottom. I used the same attachment for my spotting scope tripod which was a quick release. It is light so any decent tripod should work fine. Just watch out in high winds.

The chrony has a mounting screw in the bottom of it. I bought a really nice camera tripod at the flea market for $8. I drilled a hole in the mount on the tripod and attached the chrony with a thumb screw... It works really well.

It's a standard tripod screw attachment hole. Just about any tripod will attach easily, though I recommend a full-size tripod with a hook to which you can attach a weight for stability. The chronograph is very light, and could blow over in a gust or medium wind.

It will attach to any regular camera or spotting scope tripod through the hole in the bottom of the chrono. I would suggest using a tripod which has a quick release base as this will allow you yo first attach the base to the chronograph and then simply attach that to the tripod. Spend the money and get a relatively sturdy one. The chronograph is light but with tripods bigger is usually better.

It has tripod screw port on bottom. I just use an old video camera tripod I had laying around. Worked great. I have also use an in expensive camera tripod but found it was a little flimsy. It worked but if in a wind might tip.

I have only used a full size tripod with this scope. I have not used the included tripod. The scope secured fine to my full size tripod. Sorry I could not be of more help on this one.

YES it will hold a spotting scope it has a quick attachment and the standard screw in stud this is the best tripod I have owed yet and if I lost or broke this one I would buy again.

Bildio, Do u have a tripod for those spotting scopes? Give me more details on the spotting scope's dimensions so that i can help you accurately.

I've used a table top tripod with this and had good luck, like for target shooting, etc.. For star gazing, a regular tripod where you stand up, worked better for me. If the wind is blowing, it will probably shake some no matter what one you use. Outside of that, I think it's a great spotting scope. Hope I helped.

I gave the tripod to my son-in-law who uses it primarily with a spotting scope. He says he is very happy with it. His scope has an angled eye piece.truwheels

If you are going use this solely for a camera or spotting scope , I would recommend going on ebay and look for a Bogen 3221 tri-pod. They will be steadier than this product. If you are going to combine this for shooting and spotting or camera, you can remove the yoke with a 3/16 hex wrench. The hex bolt sticks through the top plate about 3/8 of an inch ( you could use a longer bolt if necessary) , I am not sure what size bolt it takes to hold a camera or spotting scope.I wouldn't recommend this for a spotting scope or camera , although it does the job for a shooting rest.

I haven't had that problem but the supplied tripod is really cheap and flimsy. Just get yourself a more stable, inexpensive tripod. It will make your scope much more functional.

It has a 1/4" fastener like on your tripod that holds it in place. It's the exact same process as mounting it to a tripod or base plate.

I neglected to tell you to make sure that the tripod you get has a 1/4 inch bolt to mount the camera to the tripod,Some of the larger/sturdier tripods use a 3/8 inch mounting bolt and that will not work for the normal tripod/camera arrangement/spotting scope.This scope is a 1/4 inch mounting hole.

I don't know how much a spotting scope weighs, but it can hold a point-and-shoot digital camera acceptably. It could possibly tip over if the scope is too long as the tripod isn't that big, but the legs should be stiff enough to not give under weight if it isn't too much more than a point-and-shoot.

It is a heavy duty tripod, so if your spotting scope has the same DSLR mount then it will work fin.

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.

Actually, it has a hook, attached to an elastic band inside one left of the tripod. I've always wondered what it was for- you have now answered that question! The tripod is substantial- I've never felt the need for anchoring.

I actually have mine mounted on one of the magpul scout rail attachments! Good luck! Happy Hunting!

Adapter: Yes. This is something I also want to use and need farther investigation. Mounting: It has the same threaded hole (1/4-20) as regular camera. I use a quick disconnect adapter which comes with tripod. It works fine. In general, after using scope at shooting range I found that it's compact and light. The image qulity is much on par with less expensive models. Do not expect much becouse of Leupold name! That is why I have returned $500 Leupold rifle scope due to its image quality was not anough better than $150 scope to justify its price. Leupold name is not in my book.

The clip goes onto the small clip on your camera and then to the bottom clip of the screw under the camera where your would mount the tripod. If it's atill unclear go to their website & watch the videos
