A 0701 Mounting Your Binocular on a Tripod For steadier or extended-time viewing, you can mount your Orion binocular on any standard camera tripod by means of an optional L-bracket adapter. Unscrew the small cap bearing the white tripod symbol located at the front of the binocular's center shaft, between the two binocular barrels. Removing this cap reveals a 1/4"-20 threaded hole. Thread the bolt of the L-bracket into the hole. The base of the L-bracket is threaded onto the tripod itself. Cleaning and Care Although Venture binoculars are rubber covered for water resistance, they are not necessarily waterproof. The lens surfaces of your binocular are vacuum-covered with antireflection coatings, which can be damaged with careless handling. Avoid touching lens surfaces with your fingers or any coarse material. Clean the lenses about twice a year, or more frequently if they get noticeably dirty. The dust that builds up on them promotes mold growth, which could etch the glass and destroy the coatings. Always use lens cleaning tissue and fluid designed specifically for multi-coated lenses. Do not use tissue or fluids made for eyeglass or household use. To prevent unnecessary dust build-up, store the binocular in its case and keep the lens covers on whenever possible. To clean the binocular, first puff air on the lens with a blower bulb or compressed air to remove any large particles. [. . . ] Repair If your Orion binocular requires internal cleaning, collimation, or other repairs, return it to Orion (if under warranty) or take it to a qualified optical repair shop for service. Never disassemble the binocular yourself. Doing so may disturb the precision optical alignment and will void your warranty. Warranty Orion Venture Zoom binoculars are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for one year. [. . . ]
