Vanguard Endeavor Binocular Arca Swiss clamp compatible tripod mount

thingiverse

My binoculars typically hang around my neck, but occasionally I wish I had a tripod mount for them. Not enough to buy it though. Since my binoculars are penta-roof style, I made my own mount. I added a four-way Arca Swiss plate base to the model for extra stability. It's highly recommended to print this strong because the binoculars are heavy at one and a half pounds and cantilevered far out. I suggest printing with four or more walls and plenty of layers on top and bottom, and twenty percent infill should work too. I used a 1.5 inch long 1/4-20 wing bolt and a washer for hardware, along with two M3 5mm long bolts to prevent the binoculars from falling. I also modeled in a small button that holds the 1/4-20 cover on the binoculars.
