Adjusting the “Tilt Angle” of the Binocular:

  

 

You should set the knob tension such that the 
binocular will move when pushed, but will not 
move on its own. Keep in mind that as the angle 
of the binocular approaches vertical, the knob 
tension will need to be increased so that the 
binocular does not flop over. Increase the knob 
tension when bringing the binocular 40˚ or more 
from horizontal.
