Skymaster Pro 15x70
I am interested in these binos, but need re-assurance re collimation.
I am aware that the basic Skymaster 15x70 can arrive with collimation issues, and that this can be easily rectified by the user.
However, the Skymaster Pro 15x70 has a monocoque construction and I am not aware of any method of diy collimation.
For all those owners of the Skymaster Pro 15x70, how many have received them out of collimation or had them drift out of collimation, and how did they solve the problem.
Thanks

For that price I would get a pair of Oberwerk LW 11x70. Oberwerk guarantees perfect collimation. The LW 11x70 have better/more eye relief than the LW 15x70.
