    I am shocked by the advice offered in this amateur, home video.
    Human breath contains spit and fatty droplets.
    So use a rubber bulb lens blower to remove dust NOT your breath!
    Breathing on a lens to mist it quickly contaminates the surface with a greasy film.
    This layer of fat and spit will quickly attract dust and moisture.
    Requiring far more regular and harsher cleaning methods.
    With the constant risk of scratching the lens coatings.
    Fingertips are naturally greasy.
    It's what stops your skin from drying out and cracking.
    So DON'T run your greasy fingers all over your nice clean lens brush!
    You will just smear your already fatty lenses with your finger grease on the brush!

    If theres any form of Dew or fog in the objectives should I have to wipe it off or just let it to evaporate? Thank you :)

    Would I have to do anything additional to these cleaning techniques if I need to frequently use my binoculars on the salty and windy beach?

      Canned or Compressed Air works great to get some of the smaller particles out of the eyecups and the glass. And of course if there is salt residue on the glass you can rinse with water first and then use a lens cloth. Thanks for watching!

    I have a question, If the binoculars cleaning is too often how about the oil or dirt from eyelashes in the eyepiece or ocular lens, should it be removed every time you use the binocular? because I heard that the oil from eyelashes can discolor the coatings overtime if it is not removed for a long time. pls help me

      Actually overcleaning can cause more issues with the lens coatings then daily use and such. We really only recommend cleaning the lens when they are smudged or legitimately dirty. If you would like to call us and discuss this please dial 800-289-1132 and any of our trained sales staff would be more than happy to answer any/all questions!

    The large bottle contains isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and the smaller bottle contains a mixture of diluted alcohol and surfactant detergent.

    My supposed did mistakenly get dish liquid/washing up liquid inside one of the lenses. Do anyone here knows if they are screwed?

    When you look through the lens do you notice the scratch affecting your view? In a lot of cases scratches won't have a discernible impact on the view. I also would not recommend trying to remove the scratch yourself, as you can easily damage or remove the lens coatings on the glass. If the scratch is impacting the view through the lens I would contact the manufacturer and see if it is repairable by them.

    Was looking for something a little more on the dismantling line.

      Banacek60 Chord We don't recommend dismantling most binoculars, as the majority of them are o-ring sealed and filled with an inert gas, such as Nitrogen. If you were to dismantle them you would lose this anti-fogging feature, as well as very likely voiding any warranty coverage.

    Even though most quality binoculars are waterproof to a few feet it would seem prudent to apply lens cleaning solution to the microfiber cloth rather than directly to the lens.

    A very nice performance, easy, and also important. Thank you very much for this video

    @jeffcompton. No, they sell binoculars but they have chosen not to sell the lens cleaning pen shown in their video. For those, you'll have to head to your local grocery store, in the fresh fruit aisle.

      I'm sorry to hear that!
      Perhaps it can be sent in to the manufacturer for repair.
      Please let us know if we can help with anything and thanks for watching!

      Awkward Saitama Hey, have you tried putting your binoculars in a plastic bag and putting rice in it and leaving it in a warm place like on top of a radiator or oil boiler? I tried this with my binoculars when they got foggy the other day and now they are basically good as new. Rice is necessary as it absorbs a lot of water, hope it helps :)

    Utter nonsense. Cleaning the front objectives is not only unneccessary, but harmful each time you clean them. Each time you do it, you are RUBBING OFF THE COATINGS. Also creating microscopic scratches, which produce low contrast images. It is better to keep some dust on the front. It will not affect the image quality. In fact, a small coating of dust actually improves the contrast. I am shocked that a optical company is spouting this nonsense. Do yourself a favor, and DO NOT clean the front objectives unless absolutely necessary.
