The Barska binocular tripod adaptor is sturdy and very well made. It appears to be constructed of black anodized aluminum. The rubber screw handle is over-sized for easy handling. It fits well on both my Vivitar and Slik tripods, and handles my binoculars well, the Celestron Outland LX 10x50 Waterproof Binoculars and the Bushnell Powerview 16x50 Binocular, both of which are fairly heavy. Highly recommended.

The "Barska Binocular Tripod Adaptor" is surprising sturdy and well made, especially for the low price I paid here at Amazon.
We needed a second tripod adaptor for our Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70 Binoculars w/Tripod Adapter. These binoculars actually come with a fairly good tripod adaptor, but we wanted to leave that one on our monopod and this one on a tripod. The quality of this Barska adaptor is better than the Celestron, in my opinion.
Highly recommended!

This is heavy plastic, not metal. It is very solid. I like the finish. This is a good choice if you are looking for a tripod adapter.
 My two cents, again. May 14, 2008

The reason why they don't say this is metal is because the box doesn't say it's metal. I bought it guessing it might be metal. If this isn't metal its got to be the heaviest densest plastic I've ever felt. I believe its metal, probably aluminum. Connected to my tripod the fit is OK although the treads on the Barska could have been better, inital fit wasn't smooth. If I recall there are others commenting about the threads of this same maker elsewhere. The bottom pad area that connects to the tripod has a center triangler shaped recessed rubber pad. Once the adapter is locked down it feels very solid.
The other end to be connected to the binocs looks and feels good, rubberized knob and half moon clip that keeps this screw assembly in place. Unfortunately, currently, I no longer have binocs in my possession that will accept a tripod mount to give a full useful review at this time.
