Can someone please let me know if the Zen Ray ED2 10x43 has a screw hole for a tripod adapter stud to be mounted to a tripod?  Much like the vortex razor 10x42 has. 
 
If so, what thread size is it and who makes a good tripod adapter that would work?
 
I am currently trying to decide between the Zen Ray ED2 10x43 and the Vortex Razor 10x42 and mounting to a tripod would be a great plus to the Zen Ray given their lower expense and comparable glass to the Vortex.
 
In addition to the tripod adaptability question....are the Zen Ray's on the same level of construction quality as the Razor's?
 
Thank you for your help.

The Zen Ray has a standard thread tripod adapter.  Any adapter from the marketplace will work.

I dont have any expericen with the vortex. I bought a pair of 2010 Zenray ZRS HD. after i got them i was sad. They were so awesome for the money, I wish I had got the ED2.
