Yes, it is sturdy and easy to use. I always thought it was flimsy and could break easily but I've never had a negative issue with it. fatrooster.

My EL's were not tripod adaptable. Outdoorsmans installed a stud on the hinge which adapts to their tripod adapter. I think their tripod adapter is top notch. Don't know if the new EL swarovisions are tripod adaptable from the factory. Kind of a joke to have high dollar binos that are not so equipped.

I assume this question is directed at me.
No, the interpupillary distance was not affected by the aftermarket tripod stud installed by Outdoorsmans.

I was in Outdoorsmans yesterday and looked at the adapter. It is about $140 for getting the EL setup which includes modification to the binoculars and the post. It allows for the binoculars to swing a little for unlevel setup. It only takes a couple seconds more to level up and I like to press slightly against the eyecups so I don't think I would like this loose swinging feel.

Yeah I just don't think I want anyone pressing the stud out of my $2,500 binos and replacing it. I just got the swarovski adapter no mods needed.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-05-11 AT 09:43AM (MST)[p]Jarhead,
I've been looking for the new tripod Adapter for the Swarovisions as the old EL adapter apparently doesn't work.
Can I ask were you purchased it ?
Thanks

Got mine off Amazon. Here is the link.

Only one left. I think I paid just over $100 for mine though. It was from a different store, but they are not on the list anymore. Might want to keep trying.

Thanks for the info I'll check it out. Did you notice if it is a new adapter for the swarovision as compared to the old El's.

They swing side to side, not toward you and away.

bigwop69, I had the Outdoorsmans hinge pin placed on my Els 5 years ago and I think it's one of the best things I've done. It is very sturdy and you will have no regrets. Originally I had several concerns about replacing the factory hinge pin but it turns out those concerns have all been a non issue. I would do it again in a heart beat.

I was also told that doing the adapter will not void the warranty through Sawaro?

I was told the same thing but have never needed my warranty. Outdoorsmans says with warranty work Swarovski usually removes the outdoorsmans hinge pin and replaces it with a stock one before they return your binoculars.
