What mounting options does the Leupold SX-2 Alpine HD Gen 2 have for use with Australian tripods?

Angled Spotting Scope - Leupold LE185683

The Leupold SX-2 Alpine HD Gen 2 20-60x60 Angled Spotting Scope (Model LE185683) is a high-performance optical instrument engineered for clarity, durability, and packability in demanding outdoor environments. Featuring a rugged, rubber-armored magnesium body, this spotter is both waterproof and fogproof, protecting it against sudden weather changes. The Gen 2 updates introduce an advanced optical system that optimizes light transmission from dawn to dusk and actively reduces glare in bright, direct sunlight. Its angled eyepiece configuration is highly functional, minimizing neck strain when viewing at steep upward angles or tracking targets across undulating terrain.

Key Features:

Advanced Optical System: Delivers superior dawn-to-dusk light transmission and elite glare reduction to maintain image clarity in harsh, high-contrast daylight.
Guard-ion and DiamondCoat Coatings: External lens surfaces feature scratch-resistant coatings that shed water, dirt, oil, and fingerprints.
Form-Fit Eyecups: Includes interchangeable, oversized eyecups, such as winged and low-profile options, to block lateral stray light and reduce eye fatigue.
Angled Eyepiece Design: Relieves physical strain during extended glassing sessions, particularly when viewing uphill or mounting the optic lower to the ground.
Arca-Swiss Tripod Compatibility: Equipped with an integrated Arca-Swiss compatible shoe on the tripod mounting base, plus standard 1/4-20 threaded holes for traditional mounting plates.
Mechanical Reliability: Built with a lightweight magnesium chassis and containing no electronic components, ensuring consistent mechanical operation without the need for batteries.
