I’m looking for a set of 15’s that can reach there minimum Interpupillary distance while mounted on a tripod. Swaro’s aren’t in the budget and I don’t want to use the plate adapter. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I ended up with Swaros. Next to the Swaros, the Zeiss Conquest has the best IPD. Then the Meopta. I tested all of them and almost got the Zeiss before I got a deal on the SLCs.

Thanks for the info

What binos and tripod adapter did you end up going with? I'm having the same issues with my short interpupillary distance and my Meopta 15s. There isn't a tripod stud adapter that allows me to close them all the way to accommodate my eyes.

I had the first generation swaro 15x with the swaro bino adapter. It was horrible if you had a narrow ipd.
I sold them and picked up the newest version swaro 15x hd and put the outdoorsmans stud and tall bino adapter on them. They are fantastic if you have a narrow ipd. Swaro redesigned the barrels and fixed the problem. I have no experience with other 15x but the newest swaro hd version is most likely the best for your issue.

I ended up with vortex vultures and the leupold binocular tray. It works I would, it could be better. Slc are the way to go I just couldn’t swing it

The meoptas didn't work for me either unless I removed the lense caps. Sig Sauer Zulu 9's worked well with room to spare. Nice view too.
