Finder for 20x80s
Posted: Sun Sep 19, 2021 12:24 am
I like my Celestron 20x80 binos, but I have wanted a finder for them for a long time. I had an unused red-dot finder gathering dust, and I seriously considered using duct tape. But a friend in the local club came up with the idea of using bulldog clips. I modified his design slightly. Here is my version.
If you decide to replicate this idea, be warned that the hard part is drilling the spring steel clips. You will need a very hard drill bit. My friend used cobalt. I used titanium. A regular steel bit just isn't going to do it.
