4. Main and Reticle Focus diopter

While looking at a light-colored blank wall or similar plain background, use the Main Focus Knob (Fig. 6) to make the background out-of-focus. Concentrate on the right-barrel reticle and rotate the Reticle Focus Diopter (Fig. 6) in either direction until it is sharp. The binocular is now calibrated to your vision, and the Main Focus Knob is typically all you’ll need to adjust moving forward.

5. Rotating/leveling Reticle

Focus on a target image and level the reticle with the horizon using the Reticle Leveling control (Fig. 6). This control is relatively stiff to turn to reduce accidental adjustments.

Tripod & bridgeset IPD Stabilizer Mounting

The Match Pro ED offers two ways to attach a tripod mount or the included BridgeSet IPD Stabilizer. This allows two accessories to be used at the same time.

To attach the binocular to a tripod, unscrew or pull off the cap which covers the threaded socket (lug) and set it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter accessory to attach the binocular to any standard tripod horizontally to provide stability during prolonged viewing.

The BridgeSet IPD Stabilizer allows you to secure your customized IPD or eye-to-eye width. The accessory can be put in the forward (Fig. 7) or rearward (Fig. 8) lug positions.

To attach the accessory:

  1. Open the binocular to the widest point, and ensure the stabilizer is collapsed. If necessary, use the stabilizer’s upper thumb screw (Fig. 11) to adjust leg position. This will allow easier access to the chosen lug position.
  2. Unscrew the cap that covers the threaded socket (lug) (Fig. 9) and set it aside in a safe place.
  3. Rotate the forward thumb screw (Fig. 10) into the lug. Use the included hex key to tighten further, be sure not to overtighten.
  4. Readjust the binocular IPD back to your setting (see IPD adjustment on Page 4).
  5. Expand the stabilizer legs by rotating the upper thumb screw (Fig. 11) until they contact the bottoms of both binocular barrels.
