I just bought a spotting scope and you answered a ton of things I simply couldn’t find anywhere else. Thanks a ton man. ‘Freezer

Nice video, but I think sharper delineation between porro and roof prism binoculars might have been useful. Porro prism binoculars are in general DIY repairable, roof prisms are only for pros. I tried and successfully repaired a number of porro binoculars, but managed to destroy my cheap roof prism binocular in repair attempt. So old broken porro binoculars are good DIY repair candidates, while older roof prism binoculars should be avoided when look to be broken in any way

Hi, does it still work nov2024 on ios18?

Thank you for this. Disappointing to not yet (it's now 2024) have any access to overseas military census records. My family were in England with my dad serving in the USAF, and my husband was born on a base in Japan in 1949. I was really hoping to have those records, but they still haven't turned up.

@26:30 that the binoculars cannot see brighter than the eye. If you take a 80mm aperture bino and effectively compress. The photons into a smaller area which enters a human pupil then surely that is brighter than same uncompressed photons ( less photons per area) entering the naked eye ? Brightness is photons per unit area ?

Nice video.

I’m not really a birder, but enjoy watching them and yesterday we were at Dana Part & saw quite a few snowy egret and the double crested cormorant. I was able to identify them because of your video, so thanks.

thanks for a great presentation

This is another phenomenal vidro! In my youth, I was a naturalist/teacher at the Pool Wildlife Sanctuary in Emmaus, PA. That was 35 years ago! Your videos are a great tool for anyone who really wants to learn the ins and outs of binoculars in detail! Thank you! I learned a few things while watching! Fabulous! Now that I'm retired in FL, I get the birds to come to me! LoL!

This was an excellent video! Thank you!

Thank you for your real world experience!

amazing❤

Thank you for this. I'm struggling to find my common-named g,g,grandparents in Philadelphia in the 1870 and 1880 censuses although their children were baptized there in two churches in the East Kensington / Kensington area (St. Anne's and St. Michael's). They had in infant child die in 1872 and the death notice indicates the funeral would leave from his parents' home (the infant's parents) at the intersection of Emerald and Ann Streets (these streets no longer intersect). So that's all I have to go on along with the baptisms. I appreciate the other strategies in your video and, of course, the tools you've built along with your colleagues. A tremendous asset not only to the genealogy realm, but the world!

Cool tips. Some links to purchase would also be helpful.

as a rule, with small binoculars, the image shakes, the eyes get tired. What is the stability of the stillness of view with the Nikon 6x15 and Nikon 8x20hg, with the Zeiss 8x20, Trinovid 8x20, the image shakes, shakes! Are the Japanese ones better?

Joel, We got it close to the island right by the Sheriff's substation this morning around 10:30 to 10;45. Cute little bird. Lifer for me. Thanks for posting the videos.

Very useful, thak you sir

... if what you say about putting a hole in the objective lens cap is true, then a toilet roll support has no field of view. Rather the question becomes ‘how does a toilet roll limit FOV?’.

Joel, I was out there yesterday and today (early afternoon), and missed the AMOY both times. I did get the BLOY this afternoon in the same area where you had both the AMOY and the BLOY this morning, but he was by himself. I will be back tomorrow morning and hope to get the AMOY. Thanks for your video.

Very helpful information thanks sir

Nice photos and videos! Are you using that Nikon through a spotting scope? I remember you being excited about using a point and shoot camera and aiming through your scope when I took Ornithology with you in about 1997? Now we have phones and all kinds of gadgets to make it even easier!

Thanks for your information very helpful

I have a pair of trybe optics 10x42 ed HD the right eye will not focus ..$320.00 Its a manufacturer defect however I didn't use them for the first year that I owned them and warranty expired.. So I have a $300.00 paper weight

Awesome video I just purchased Nikon p1000 I also own a Dobson 12-in telescope It has a two inch eyepiece. I want to get a adapter and mount this camera to it. Do you have any suggestions what I need? Thanks!

amazing

35:00 A person in a birder group who has to back up while trying to view a bird with binoculars is an embarrassment. Don't be that guy. Choose the right type of binoculars to view bird close up or else the birding group complainers might see to it that you are not invited to go with the group to look at birds any more.

I should've have watched it before starting colimating 20x80 binos 😅

Dr Weintraub! Great to hear your voice again. You may not emember me but this is Tim Revell. I was Bayard Brattstroms grad student in 1994-1998. I took ornithology with you and Dr Thomas in 1997. So great to hear your voice and find these videos!!

The Ra power ap is no longer in the Apple Store what software do you use?

Not supported with latest IOS … so device is obsolete

Page 397 About 160,000 census takers, called enumerators, traveled a distance of several million miles.

Wow

I have to give a presentation about Ellis island for school and this helped so much. Thank you.

I have address, ED tract, streets that bound the address, the name and last name but have not been able to find my grandfather in NYC. Any tips? I am sure he lived at this address and I found him on 1940 census and all those before since he was in US. Thanks

Hi I put some prix binoculars back together, they only focus on short distance. The longer horizon focus is not achievable. Am I missing something?

Many thanks have learned so much. Well done

Parabéns pelo material de ótima qualidade sobre binóculos. Eu sou de Curitiba Brasil e me ajudou muito o seu conteúdo. Muito obrigado e Deus continue iluminando seu trabalho.

This was excellent and quite in-depth! I will be re-watching this. Thank you, Joel Weintraub!!!

Thank you, Joel! I sure hope you continue making videos, you are an excellent teacher. Looks like the 1960 census is going to be problematic to say the least!! I love that you dropped the mic! Thank you for all the work you've done!

Thanks Joel for sharing your talk from ECSU.

As someone who is getting into vintage binocular collecting, this video series has been invaluable when trying to parse the terms used on cloudyskies and birdforum. As with any new hobby, parsing the vernacular from old hands is 70% of the battle! Thank you!

Great video! You put a lot of work into that! I share your enthusiasm for birds!

This is so captivating, about to watch part 4 after the first three. Thanks for doing this.

Kudos on the good work.

Great work Joel! It was a honor to work with you on the 1950 census!

Thank you for this amazing look at our history and how the data was collected! You did an amazing job piecing the digitized audio to the filmstips. I'm looking forward to watch them all but wanted to make sure and thank you for putting this together.

Thank you! Very enjoyable and informative!

Joel, so many thanks for all your help. I thought I was losing my mind!
