Do you own a CL Curio 7x21? Must have accessories (1 Viewer)

GEAR GRIPZ self adeshive tape is easy to cut out to fit, and I have it since earlier.

This stuff is truly amazing, easy to work with and does not leave a residue if removed. My only tip is to preheat it and the area you want to apply it too with a low setting on a heat gun or hair dryer. I have it strategically placed on all my cameras and lenses and it makes a remarkable difference in ergonomics, especially in hot or cold weather when hands can get either sweat laden or too cold to always accurately grab hold of something.

For those who live in the firearm capitol of the known universe, it can be obtained here.
 
Do you really need lens covers on pocket binoculairs? There must be a reason Swarovski and Zeiss doesn't deliver one?

I dont use them om my VP 8x25.

I put them on because that’s where they live my pocket, and I would be quite upset if I scratched a lens by accident. For the sake of spending a few pounds to protect the over £600 bins for me it’s worth it. I was just helping other people out should they wish to do the same.

I understand why you help people. Many people want lens covers. Yes its true, its good to protect them. Some use a socket or sunglasses bag where they keep the Curio in.
And keep your pockets clean.

Same here: they are in my pocket or somewhere in a bag with metal lenses, etc. It would be so easy to scratch them.
 
My pockets are padded and soft. :) So no extra covers needed.
I only use ocular covers to protect my binoculars for rain, food crumbs, etc. But for that reason, I do not like the original Curio rainguard. The binoculars have to be folded to put the rainguard on it.

This is why some of use use a folding rainguard.

If you keep your pockets clean, and no other stuff they will be fine.
Thanks mom, I would not have thought of that by myself as I have no experience handling optical gear :sneaky:

In a bag you can use the original case or not?
I usually don't.

Just curious
