Using the binoculars with
and without eyeglasses
Your MINOX 75x44 RAPID is fitted with twist-up eye-
cups, which can be used to adjust the distance to your
eye, depending on whether you are wearing glasses
or not Users not wearing glasses should twist the
eyecups up to the fully extended position This posi-
tion provides the ideal distance between the eye and
ocular lens and also ensures comfortable positioning
of the binoculars, thus minimising stray light For
those wearing glasses, the eyecups must be twisted
all the way down to be able to see the entire field of
view without vignetting
Attachment to a tripod mount
To ensure steady and fatigue-free viewing you can
mount your MINOX 75x44 RAPID on a tripod using
the tripod thread integrated in the body For this pur-
pose we recommend the MINOX tripod mount (order
number 69730) that is available from our range of
accessories To use the tripod mount first remove the
cap screw from the tripod thread on the underside of
the MINOX 75x44 RAPID Connect the MINOX tripod
mount to the thread turning it in clockwise direc-
tion Keep the cap screw in a safe place and screw it
back into the tripod thread after removing the tripod
mount
