Tripod Balancing Platform (for Ultima 100 models)
This is used on Ultima 100 models to properly balance your spotting scope on top of a photo/video tripod.
¼"-20 Threaded Hole
(not shown)
To use the tripod balancing platform:
Mount the platform to the top of your photo tripod using the ¼"-20 threaded hole on the bottom side of the platform.
Attach your spotting scope to the platform using the ¼"-20 mounting screw located on the top side of the platform. Thread the mounting screw in as
far as it will go. Slide the attached spotting scope along the slotted cutout until your spotting scope is balanced on the tripod.
Tighten the locking ring to hold the spotting scope in place.
Maintenance
To protect your spotting scope when not being used, put on all lens covers and the lens cap to keep the optics clean and then put the scope in the
soft carrying case. If your optics could use cleaning, use an optics cleaning kit and follow the instructions.
