Help me mount my 'nocs to a tripod.

[higginsworksforme]

I have Area419 Arcalock rails so I'm getting an arcalock head for a tripod. I think this L bracket and this rail will work. Or has someone tried this already?

This looks like a better solution.

RRS Bino Cinch.

That looks good but regular straight rail arca stuff won't fit into arcalock clamps. They have pins that get in the way.

 

[OREGUN]

Don’t the pins push out of the way for normal rails?

ETA: the pins can definitely be removed.

Those l-bracket things are a PITA in my experience. The CG is all wrong and the binos are floppy on the top of the small balance point. I much prefer the cinch or a bag like this: https://wiebadgear.com/product/bino-bag/

For whatever it's worth, I've used numerous arcalock rails in various standard arca heads/attachments without any slippage or issues. That includes shooting lightweight magnums clipped-in to an Anvil 30. I would get an RRS head, or remove the pins in the arcalock head.

You were able to use a regular arca rail in an arcalock clamp without removing the pins?

 

[Maurygold]

Yes. I do it all the time.

i think I was thinking of the anvil head which has a pin that is spring loaded so it gets out of the way in a normal rail.

I have several head with rlok pins, they are all removed, they're pointless to me, now especially that you can adjust the tension of the RRS levers.

Are you ever gonna be using a bino harness with these binos? If so, any bino adapter that hangs too far off the optic will be a nuisance. I have really liked using this one- https://www.aziakequipment.com/product-page/bino-clamp after trying multiple. Checks all the boxes for me.

^^^^^ This

Have tried more than one, including the RRS.

Aziak wins.

Easy to dial how you want.
Can easily leave on place in your bino harness.
Super light.

I’ve had the RRS bino cinch on my BLRF for years and I’m using them weekly (at a minimum). Constantly in and out of a bino harness. It’s literally never hung up once in or out.
