hi, i'd like to get these as my first bins. i've heard of collimation, how do i check for it and is it something thats likely to happen in transport? thanks

@cruiser277777 I have found collminating binoculars to be pretty rare, even with excessive use and travel. But, since alot of people have a slight difference of vision from their left to right eye, you will probably have to adjust the focusing system occasionaly and how to do that is spelled out in the manual very clearly.

I have 20x80 binocs, fully multi-coated, BAK-4 prisms. £80 from ebay. I can see Jupiter's moons (as dots!) and get great views of aircraft at 30,000 ft and higher, clearly making out the tail emblems.

@masere I bet those do give some great views. The best I've had from the 15x70's have come from the Moon.

Amusing review, I have to say, but helpful as well. Now, I at least have an idea as to how large the binos really are.

@assasincz Glad you enjoyed the video! They are big binos, but still useful, especially on a tripod.

@wtf4688 That's awesome, I bet they are heavy though! Do you use a tripod to view things with them?
