Not me.... too much work. You might check you binoculars and see they are not aligned but how do you align them without dismounting everything again?

Using this method made collecting binoculars affordable and enjoyable. I'm really surprised more collectors don't use it. It is very easy to conditionally align using this method and although complete collimation takes more experience to master, it is not as difficult to do as the article suggests. If you do undertake this project and need help don't hesitate to send me a private mail.

Nice idea. I am gonna try it out.
I do have part of an army test bench but I don´t know how to employ it.
This looks pretty easy.
Thank You to Asembi for the link.
