Looking for ideas on how to mount both a Leica Geovid binoculars and a Swaro STR spotter to my RRS tripod at the same time. Also any other attachments added would be great to see as well.

Gray Ops Multi Plate

You could also affect the same thing with a 1ft section of 2x4, and a few appropriately sized screws...

Ask him for more images.

He runs Binos, PLRF, Kestrel and that Bitching umbrella on his Abel Table
 
Hejnar plate and a RRS BC-18 ballhead.

Though for your purpose I'd check out the RRS Cinema bar to get a bit more length and options.

very nice for one reason...cowitnessing the rf to the binos. its a huge pain when you have to move the mount after finding target in binos to range with rf. gets old quick. is it worth the price of RRS? not for this PWB. think will get a mini ball head tho for sure if I keep this layout. thinking abandon the LRF (terrapin is for sale) as the new binos available are better/cheaper than they usedta been.

How wide is that bar? I bought a 200mm double clamp bar. One side as a clamp built in and the other has a 1/4x20 thread. I like the idea of the small ballhead to hopefully cowitness the spotter and binos, does anyone else make it besides RRS? I have lots or RRS stuff, just not sure I need to spend RRS money on this right now....
 
Do you know who makes that Leica mount?

It's just a cheap 3D printed mount off eBay I got for $25. I filed off the lanyard strap and sanded it a bit so it wouldn't look so shiny. Nothing great but it fits the rangefinder well and locks up tight in RRS lever clamps or screw clamps. Fingers crossed that RRS will make a nicer version someday.

How wide is that bar?

It's a 6" bar. Barely wide enough to fit the SLC 15's and Leica RF side by side. Anything larger and you'd need a longer bar. I got this one because it had the 1/4-20" screw hole for the RRS ballhead all the way at the end allowing me to push the RF and binos farther apart.
 
Ugh... I was hoping to avoid going this route but I think it is where I am going to end up. I tried to buy a rail and cheap arca clamp but I was not happy with it at all, too tight, not great lockup on either clamp and the one started to come undone, and I could not co-witness them at all. I think I am going to look at the RRS micro head and the GrayOps. What size is that GrayOps? Can I use that as a tactical table" as well?

I have the full size gray ops. You can use it for a tack table and also clamp it to your arca rail for more stability off a bag. I only use it for my optics.
