Anyone use these on binos? I imagine I could measure the objective cylinder and be all set - however wanted to check with current users for tips.

I agree with you, measure the Objective Lens and see if they have the size you need, no doubt they will work. Make sure to measure and convert inches to millimeters.

So the electronic range finder will work. I like the binocular. Works great.

Great! In fact if you need corrective lenses--you should have them on when you use these binoculars for viewing. The salesman at Bushnell Outlet described these as multi-person grab and go binoculars--no real adjustments needed. He said many binoculars are really single person use as you do intricate focusing for your particular vision and magnification, ie, as with birding. With sports--you need to see something quickly and don't want to spend time focusing. My husband and I love them and switch back and forth and I wear glasses and he does not.

Yes , However the case wont do you any good since the Binos would not FOCUS correctly. I suggest that you pass on theses Binos from this seller!

I can't specify "field of view," but what I can tell you - that I think is important for you to know - is that when I replace a 10x eyepiece in my low-power binocular microscope (1x objective), the image is greatly magnified from what it would appear through the eyepiece . . . perhaps about 5x as much (50x total?). I really would have liked it to stay the same, but I can understand why it doesn't. If you have a 40 or 50x eyepiece (or so) that you replace with the camera, my guess is you will see about the same picture as you see through the eyepiece. The clarity is good. Of course, it could be better, but probably not for the same price. Now that I understand the limitations, etc., I am quite pleased with it. I built my own lens and stand for it, using the barrel of a cheap flashlight and a double convex lens that just happened to fit the tube perfectly (24mm). I added a diaphragm to increase depth of field, and a baffle between the lens and camera to minimize "splash" within the tube. These are all held in position within the tube by O-rings (from Harbor Freight). The added diaphragm requires an additional light source, which I got from eBay for $3.50 (music stand LED lights on flex arms). Works pretty good!

I wear glasses and have used several pair of binos over the last few years while hunting. These are the best so far for keeping the glasses in place (and I have blended trifocals).

The binocs are great. I love the extending eye pieces, but don't use my glasses. I use mine to look at the night sky when I don't want to drag my telescope out. The only downside is they do get a bit heavy when holding them parallel to the Earth landscape (I typically lay in my sleeping bag and set them on my face). But, having looked at other large binocs-weight is the normal downside. The 10x50 wide angle is better preferred by the astronomy crowd-anything more and a tripod may be needed due to weight/instability. I've never had any fogging problems in the cold Wisconsin nights, I have not tested the waterproofing. The rubber coating is nice and these are very well built. Definitely recommend these to anyone.

Hi Kenneth, I am so sorry, but I don't know. Perhaps it might be good to enter your camera model in a search bar followed by eyepiece extender. I apologize if my response is very basic, but I'm hoping it might help.

Steven,I originally purchased a Canon quick release, but found them unsatisfactory. I replaced the Canon with Leupold Quick release, and have them attached to Nikon 12 X 36 Monarchs. Works great. I would suggest also that you consider getting a Bino Shield, manufactured by Crooked Horn. I have a medium size, and it fits well with the Nikon. If you are a hunter, these shields are the cats meow. Keeps the Binoculars from flopping around, and keeps the dust and debris off the glasses.JK

I remove my glasses when I use these binoculars. I tried looking thru them with my glasses on...it clearly reduces the FOV because you cannot get your eyes as close to the lenses as you can without glasses on. I suspect that would be the same issue you would find with any binoculars.

I have found there is really no proper way in how to focus the eyepieces. You just have to keep adjusting them, mess around with it until they are adjusted to your satisfaction. I wish I could help your more, but thats really all I can say.

The distance between the center of the pupils when focused on infinity (Interpupillary Distance)is not given in any of the specs for these binocs.Jim

I suspect they're a bit young to get much actual use out of them. The binos seem very durable though, so they could grow into them. They are about as easy to use as any adjustable binoculars I've seen.

No problem. Easy access to my stuff and other than using the bifocals to check the sizes, no problem at all ! Good luck. I do like the pistol grip a lot. Remember if you have a long lens on, that the lens will want to drop if unsupported when you squeeze the trigger. Amazing how heavy some long lenses can be when they pivot downward !

I believe they are great for a "general purpose" set of binoculars. I have had a few sets in the past and believe these are great. I could not find anything better without spending a LOT more money.

Arun, my husband and I both can hold them steady without a pod. That being said.. It depends on each persons own phisycal abilities. We do like these binocs...

You can purchase an adapter from Orion, or you can easily make an adapter using a large angle brace. I favor using a monopod with a 6" strip of wood fastened across the top using a 1/4"-20 T nut (avilable at any hardware store). Just rest the binoculars on the strip of wood. It works great!
