Many large binoculars have a soft rubber body covering which allows easy access to the adjustment screws. Gently lift the rubber around the shoulder of the binocular, if it lifts easily and reveals a screw ( there are two, one on each side ) then the adjustment can usually be made quickly. if however the body is solid or there are no apparent screws then the collimation screw positions may be harder to access and you should consult your dealer. Aim and focus the binoculars on a distance object, a church tower is usually a good choice. You’ll see two images if the binocular is out of collimation. We suggest mounting the binoculars on a solid tripod, this makes it easier to work on the binocular while it is kept pointed at the object. Use a correct size jewellers screwdriver to slowly adjust the screws. You will see that the screw on one side of the binocular moves the images along a line, together or apart, depending which way you turn the screw. The screw on the other side of the binoculars moves the images together or apart on a line at 90degrees to the first. By adjusting the two screws alternately and gradually you can bring the images into alignment. For safety do not try to adjust whilst viewing because the screwdriver may slip and cause injury. If in doubt, or if the collimation procedure cannot be achieved easily, then consult with your dealer.

Collimating large binoculars If you look through a pair of binoculars and see two of everything it means that the optics are out of alignment, they are “out of collimation”. This can happen if the binoculars have had a slight knock or can just happen through normal wear and use. It can happen to all binoculars but larger more powerful binoculars are more susceptible as the magnification makes the double image effect more pronounced, Unless your binocular has sustained severe damage, in most cases they can be re-collimated quickly and easily. Your dealer can usually offer this service though with some binoculars the adjustment is very straightforward and you may wish to do this yourself.

If the body cover does lift easily to reveal the collimation adjustment screws, DO NOT force it as you may damage
