One should never take decisions while is stressed. Lesson re-learned!

This binoculars, like others models featuring long and heavy barrels, use a central steel(?) bar to ensure binoculars barrels being perfectly aligned.

Today, still wandering why yesterday the binocular was clearly out of collimation, I checked them again. I discovered that both bolts that ensure the central bar being firmly attached to both sides of the barrels being quite lose. Especially that one next to the big frontal lens (highlight 2). The other one (highlight 1) too was still not completely tight, but with less game.

Hence I tighted up both of them and in my opinion if there are still collimation issues now, they must be very little, if any at all.

I surely would like both to have someone else having a look and to know if other owners of similar big binoculars have experienced the same problem.
