Wobble in focus dial. Defective or normal?

I never had a problem with mine. So I would say defective. My dial is tight.

Oh ok I seen the other answers wasn't quite sure what you were talking about as I said they are for my husband. The dial to focus them do not move my husbands is just fine.

We do not experience any wobble in the focus dial at all. These binoculars are great as far as we are concerned and the price wasperfect. We think we got a great deal and are very satisfied with this product.

Yeah there is a very little wiggle sound. If that's what you're hearing when you shake the lens that's fine. No need to worry! I have it on mine also and it works perfectly fine.

Mine has done this on occasion. It will focus out and then back in but usually in portrait mode. It seems for other settings it will not do that.

Yes mine did this... very annoying.. there is no fix... it almost appears as if the telescope handle was installed upside down the groves are not deep enough or the release lever is defective. . I send it back to get a replacement the next day. hope the replacement works ok..

there is a knurled ring between the eyepiece and the magnification adjustment ring. it may be hard to turn but that is the focus ring.

We do not have that problem with ours. It is easy to turn the dial and we use it everyday.

Thank you for shopping with us. Focus dial should be right next to the lens. In that case, you should turn the dial 10-20 times.

Does this happen in auto focus mode? Does this happen as your adjusting the focal length? Maybe place the camera on a tripod and see if it occurs. I am certain the focus ring should not move unless it is manipulated.

Exactly, I have the same experience. Once the lens focusing is a bit stiffer then the follow focus jumps up and down.The only solution is to replace this follow focus with the one without the quick release, as I did and I am quite satisfied now:Fotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR CameraFotga upgrade DP500IIS dampen follow focus with A/B hard stop for DSLR Camera

Bad one. Should just work smoothly. You should not notice it - except having to focus manually. ;)

We have had the same problem with our S9100. Like Mr Braun said, gently wiggling the lense fixes it. This happens quite often with ours; very frustrating!

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.

Did u open it correctly and lock it? Check which is the best range of width for you keyboard and open it, lock it and it doesn't wobble. Mine is steady!

Screw in center needs to be tight...no wobbly...and the rotation quit on mine after a short time (couple weeks of 24/7)...a little light lube might get it going again...I suggest 3-in-one oil...sewing machine oil...don't get it on the lens or it will crap it out...I used P-B Blaster and it wasted my lens...but it quit spinning again very shortly ,so that was a moot point...hthy...Hobbiehubbcapp.

Would you mind posting a video to provide us an idea of the degree of wobble which you're seeing? There is slight expansion and contraction seen withing the juicing screen of extraction when the gears are in motion however the entire extractor housing, at least on my unit, doesn't wobble.
