Oh crap

First clear night for weeks, took my 20x90 bins, only 6 months old, out for some viewing, stood up to stretch my back when one of my tripod legs start folding down, the whole lot landed square on the front lenses on the road.

Both lens surrounds are badly chipped, and where the lenses join the barrel the plastic surrounds are cracked, but worse still is the twin images I now have, I've tried the collimation? screws but I can't even get the images close before they run out of travel.

Not sure if they are fixable, have to contact the suppliers, was trying to save for a dob.

Going to cry myself to sleep now
