Review Summary

I'm aware that nowhere in the product descriptions does it state that the Prostaff 5 12x50 is tripod-adaptable, but in my opinion it should be. I got these with the assumption they would be, being 12-power especially. Well, I was told that, as is customary, all one had to do was remove the central axis cap counterclockwise, revealing a 1/4"-20 female thread into which your run-of-the-mill tripod adapter would fasten. Wrong! If (and when destroying the thing) you get they cap off, the thread is just peculiar. It is flat at first, then around 1/4" in, there are threads, but none of my wide assortment of adapters will fit there. I phoned Nikon and was promised hesitatingly that an exception would be made and they wound let me have a replacement for the mangled cap (needed vice grips to remove; all scratched up). That was last December and I am yet to receive it! Optically, however, after they were mounted on a "universal tripod adapter",my discovery was that in the end they were worth the price, very nice views, even though not new, they look as if they'd received a few battle scars of late. So the rather pricey optic was, in the long run, worth it, I guess.

These ifs mean the strange fact that the Prostaff 5 12x50s are not tripod-adaptable in the usual way. If you are tempted, as I was, to remove the circular cap between and in front of the barrels, it will need to be scratched up first, only to reveal a female thread that's not going to accept any typical 1/4"-20 adapter. So, anyway, I bought a universal binocular strap-type mount for under twenty bucks and that works fine, steadily aiming the clear and bright optical system one comes to expect from Nikon.
