Thank you so much Mr Hopper for Your video, so simple that even a layman like me was able to understand and put it into practice Those teachings that allowed me to perfectly collimate an old Carl Zeiss Jena 8x30 Deltrintem and I add that I very much agree with your advice given at the end of the video on how to deal with the small problems that arise when things break. I have been thinking like you for years and applying your theories. Thanks again and sorry for my bad English.
I have a pair of Zeiss 10X50 Jenoptems that were also out of collimation. After watching this video multiple times I purchased an adjustable spanner wrench and had a friend with a machine shop turn down the nubs on the wrench to thin spindles. This made a perfect collimating tool and I was able to collimate the bino's in about 10 minutes. Thank you Mr. Hopper.
Grat video. I had to fix my dad's binoculars, because I dropped them on a rock--only from a height of just inches, but it was enough to jar them out of alignment. I opened them up and didn't find any way to adjust them. I decided to take a risk and tap them on a table in the opposite direction of the original bump. After a few of these adjustments, it came back into colummation. 😎
Instead of guestimating collimation, you could have simply unscrewing/screwing the objective lens unit a bit by bit incrementally and check collimation. Once you have good collimation, then you know how much to move the ring and where before you actually move it
Innovative way to solve a problem and bring something back to life so someone can use them again. Love it!

@@timothyandrewausten sometimes life requires precision. Other times... you just take your best shot! 😀
Excellent
Hope you benefitted!
Brill, thanks!

How do you know to adjust the lens and not the prisms for collimation?
How do you know which lens is the lens to adjust.
@williamgardner2739 I didn't. I just knew both lenses were very close, so a minor tweak to either would fix the problem.
