for a good makeshift (stand) tri pod thingy :)....drill a hole in the top of a wooden broom or simalar...good for sitting and taking some weight.

I think the Oberwerk are less susceptible to having the prisms shift if they should be accidently bumped.
-
Any suggestions for reasonable tripod?. Will be there a need for an adapter too?
-
Is there any information anywhere on collimation of these?

Hi,
I have a problem. I see doubles one planet Jupiter on my binocular. Where do I find binocular store for fixing the problem? Thank you. -
My binoculars 20x280x70 they sell them only in us

Be aware, these are cheap Chinese binoculars sold under several brands. The Zhumells are identical. Biggest issue with these is "double vision". I had to return 2 pair before getting a pair that I could collimate. Normally you would have 2 adjustment screws, these only have one. SOME Models ship without the ability to adjust them at all. If your familiar with how to take the covers off etc, and adjust them, their serviceable, decent binoculars for the price. BUT, at this price, odds are most of the buyers won't want to break them down and play around with adjusting them. Better off moving up to a slightly better pair for 100 or so more.
