How to attach binocular tripod adapter on Olympus DPS I 10x50?

Olympus DPS I 10x50 is great binocular for multiple purposes including Astronomy. However its heavy and requires tripod to stay focused to object. It takes help to find how to attach it to a tripod. Following points show how to do it

  • There is a circular removable cover in front of binocular. It has Olympus written on it. Look at side of bigger lenses that is objective lens region.
  • Take help from images below.
  • Rotate the disk anti clockwise to open it. It will open and expose a metallic nut where bolt of adapter will fit.
  • Assemble the adaptor to this and binocular is ready for tripod mount.

At center there is cover with Olympus written.




Nut exposed. Fit the bolt of adapter here.




Adapter is fit on binocular.

FYI the cover on mine did not screw off, it was just a very tight push fit.

Thank you. I have this binocular from 10 years or so and have never known this lol. Must be in the manual somewhere.
Do you also have any suggestion for a mobile phone adapter so I can take photos through the binocular?

@above
I just use phone without specific adapter. Also after Wuhan virus I have stopped buying from Chinese stores like alibaba, aliexpress etc. Even if shopped government is not allowing China post items get in. I already lost 2 shipments. Not going to shop from China.
