I have also taken binos apart, more for my curiosity, but learnt a lot about their construction. In that case, I’ll keep working towards a good £100 pair!Īnother thing to note, is that on cheap ( build not cost) binoculars the prisms can be held in place with only glue, constant battles with hard objects when travelling can losen the contact and problems really appear! Personally I'd pass, I think those often sold at Lidl so better to wait till they have them again and go in, check several pairs carefully and buy a pair that is already right 🙂 Stars at night will do pretty well for the testing tho since its much harder for the brain to match up the dissimilar images in each eye with so little detail to stitch together.
There's info out there on the web, but random fiddling with the screws can make things much worse or even chip the prisms.įor sure a lot of patience, a good understanding about how to adjust and appropriate tools (good jewellers screwdrivers etc) would be needed as well as a suitable target to test against. I don't know if that one has tilt screws under the outer covering on the body or if you'd need to dismantle and use thin shims to tilt the prisms until they are aligned.
You might be able to align the prisms so that they work for you (conditional alignment) but a lot would depend on how they are built/assembled. If you wanted them professionally collimated that'd cost several times more than the purchase price which on a cheap pair isn't worth it unless they are rare or of sentimental value.
