Maven B2

[Clarktar]

Has anyone attempted to mount their mavens to a tripod?

I am thinking of trying and wanted to see if anyone had first hand knowledge. Thanks

Nevermind, I see they have an adapter on there website!

Works with any standard adapter. I use the Field Optics Research on my B2's

I have the outdoorsman stud and adapter on my B2's...you want the one that says it fits "pentax/khales" binos - that is the standard thread size.

Also, I tried both the Field Optics one and the Outdoorsmans...both work fine, but I preferred the connecting and removal ease of the outdoorsman setup.

What B2's did you go with? I love my 11x45's so far

 

[Clarktar]

9x45. Thanks white

I did the same comparison with my B2's and I also prefer the Outdoorsman adapter. They both work well, and honestly, for the price the Field Optics Research is hard to beat but I just felt like the Outdoorsmans would be easier to use with cold hands.

So what exactly do I need from outdoorsman to make this work? Do I have to mail binos in?

You don't need to mail the binos in with the B2's. I think you do for some of the Swaros, but the B2's you can just order what you need and install it at home. Go to this link and pick tall or short (I went with tall but I'm not sure it's necessary on the B2's). It comes with a stud that screws in and stays attached to your Binos. See the pic below for clarification. I did mention it was for Maven B2's in the comments when I placed my order but I'm not sure it matters.

Thanks. ORDERED. Should be fun to run tripod mounted binos. They are only 9x45s but I bet it will still help..

I have the 9x45 B2's and I just found out about the Field Optics research connector. It looks like a great little unit.

Does anyone have a solution to quickly attaching your binos back to your harness? I have a S4 Gear harness and the plastic clips + plastic o-rings on the Mavens are kind of a pain.

Binos, regardless of size, on a tripod is a game changer! I'm running my B2's on the vortex adapter that I had.

I have 11x45 B2 on the short outdoorsmans adapter with the Pentax/khales stud as mentioned above. Everything fits well.

Prepare for an eyegasm when you first look through your new setup...

Yup. Binos, tripod and a sit pad are all a part of the required field gear. Would not leave home without them.

Great, Jmden made me a sit pad last year. Pretty cool piece

Ok, so the Outdoors man adapter came, but there is no stud, or screw the spin into the binos and then thread the adapter to. Was I supposed to order this separately or did Outdoorman forget to include with the adapter?

That's a separate part, there are a few different models, I'd give them a call and tell them which model you have and ask which stud you need

It's a separate part but it's supposed to be included with the adapter purchase. I'd contact them and get them to send it to you. They are good guys I'm sure they will take care of you.

 

[Clarktar]

ok, thanks
