    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Hi guys Iv not been out with them properly yet, but tried them out in the garden last night. And I have to say the tripod and head are great to use. Rock steady on views at full zoom, and only takes a second to settle if knocked. Not the lightest of Set ups, but definitely the steadiest and...

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    What can I say, the scope is as good as I expected and I'm very happy with them. Now I was using a budget tripod and a ball head which isn't ideal, so I decided to get a new pan and tilt head and legs. Taking note from reading on here I knew I shouldn't skimp on this to get the best from my...

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Views were bright and sharp at the river, in fact I'm that happy with the binos I'v got an Endurance 20-60x68 ED hawke spotting scope coming tomorrow. Iv wanted a good spotting scope for as long as I can remember, and I'd like to try digi scoping too. So I'm looking forward to this arriving...

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Iv just tried the adapter I have to put them on a monopod, but have found the depth of the screw threads is very shallow and the adapter I have is too long in the screw and can't tighten up. Any ideas guys?

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Good news, after sending them back for inspection they arranged with a courier, they sent me an email saying they were indeed out of collimation and scratched on the mount screw. Two days later they sent me a new replacement which I'v checked with the stars and planets tonight. Jupiter and its...

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    To top it off, I thought I'd try to mount them onto my tripod to make doubly sure so removed the screw thread cover in the middle only to find it scratched. This had me feeling like I felt the last time I was sent something that had been sent back by someone then resent back out as new to me...

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Unfortunately while trying to look up at stars tonight a flaw has shown itself. I was getting a double vision of a star showing above and no matter what I tried with focus it wouldn't go, sometimes it did though. But after a few minutes of this I felt slightly sickly and dizzy. I tried my...

    I think you could be right, we'll have to see, but the great warranty with Hawke will replace them I'm sure.

    My new 10x50 Endurance binoculars.

    Hi guys I recieved these today from Hawke online, as I thought with my 15 year old 8x42 Bushnell nature views I just fancied a new pair. Now don't get me wrong, my Bushnell are still performing great, I just wanted a new pair. The first surprise was the Endurance binos are slightly shorter...
