newazhunter Report post Posted October 24, 2019 I don't have extra funds for a tripod system, but am wondering if any of the tripods I see on Offerup and such (used for $20-$50) would work with Nikon Monarchs once I buy the adapter. I realize some of these may be heavy, but that isn't a big deal. Here are some examples of ones I am interested in. Will these all work? https://www.amazon.com/UBeesize-Lightweight-Universal-Smartphone-Bluetooth/dp/B07H55DHZF/ref=sr_1_21_sspa?keywords=tripod+hunting&qid=1571948768&sr=8-21-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFYQTAyTU1WQ0ZDSEMmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA0MjMzNjkyTFE5RzRTWTBNRDVWJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4NTI5ODM1SEc2OUQxRFdZSDgmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9tdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl https://offerup.com/item/detail/769848443/ https://offerup.com/item/detail/768766200/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted October 24, 2019 In my experience yes...I started with a pretty cheap photo/video tripod similar to the examples you provided. The adapter should be able to screw onto the quick-detach plate that most tripods use. my biggest recommendation is to figure out the right height if you plan to glass standing up and having much more flexible Tripod leg positioning is a plus. The amazon link has a “support” that locks the legs together...that will be annoying on varied terrain and if you’re trying to use it sitting it makes positioning difficult. Too light or flimsy will also move a lot, especially in the wind. But yeah any of these will work if you’re strapped for cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
