Bushnell Birding series fix - Splay out both "turrets" to their widest setting (like you have eyes really wide apart). Locate hole on underside of focus ring. Push a small wire (I used smallest Allen key) through to pop off small disk focus ring cover (saying Bushnell). Once off, the same adjustment screw (I could only find one) can be found in the small holes. Many thanks for this. Really useful and I fixed my binoculars! I have been looking for ages how to fix them and I could not have done it without this video.
Thank you so much, I searched and searched, finally someone with the same problem. The only difference is, mine are Brunton . Similar circumstances though. Again, thank you!
You bloody legend thanks to you I fixed mine.Wish I had the coin for some vortex.But Another kid on the way no casholla for me.thanks again mate great vid very much appreciated.
I got on here to research these exact binos. Took them out of the safe and the two sides do not have the same field of view. My left side is pointing a total different area. Thanks for posting this so I can trouble shoot these thing or send in for service.
I had a focusing problem like this with my Vortex Crossfire 8x42 binos -- had no idea I could fix it myself until I saw this video. Thanks for saving me 300 bucks!
Hey glad I could help! I also have vortex optics. Maybe you already know but vortex has a lifetime warranty on all their optics. They'll replace it or fix them for free. I've used their warranty when I dropped mine on my tile floor. All I had to pay for was shipping to the factory. Had them back in less than 2 weeks.
Not with the Powerview 12x25 compact binoculars. This model has multiple complaints regarding the ocular eye cups breaking off. Bushnell has refused to warranty this issue.
So this saved me a lot of hassle. These are my first set of binoculars but they have rebranded them the bushnell Prime and they cheaped out on that part the screws fit onto and made it out of some crap plastic. So I don't know if it was my fault or someone else's but the left side had the same problem but the plastic is stuffed so I'll be taking it back to exchange for either a better set or some other set.
Thanks, this also works on Celestron Trailseeker 8X42 which btw looks exactly the same than your Bushnell. Probably the same product with different branding. I had a different problem though. The relation between left and right focus was off and I had to adjust the diopter as far as it went. Now after adjusting the screw on the right I can keep the diopter in the middle and both sides are focused. Time will tell if it lasts that way.
Does anyone know what happens when you screw these plungers clockwise or anti-clockwise? They’re attached to the focusing mechanisms I believe, so can you actually adjust the focusing range by screwing/unscrewing on these plungers?
How do I detached one of the binocular? There is no fixing mine because one of my lens got completely crushed but the other one seems to be working fine. I figured I just use one of them but I want to remove the other one
On my Bushnell Prime on one side, the focus cannot be changed; this side does not react on turning the focus knob. I have removed the focus knob and saw the two "rods" as seen in this video (the brass colored ones). One of the seems to be loose on the inside. If I pull this one up and down manually, focussing on that side does not change. The rods have a screwdriver slot, but turning it with a screwdriver seems not to tighten the rod.... Is there some trick or do I have to disassemble the binoculars a bit further?

Watched your video, fixed me Zhumell 8x42 binoculars. I owe you a beer! THANKS.
Thanks for making this video. Great help.
Bushnell has a “No Questions Asked” lifetime warranty. They will service any optic, inside and out free of charge.
Does that also apply to cheapos?

@@dwincey2836 Do you have a pair of the Powerviews?

Thanks. This helped me as my diopter was out
This video really helped. Thanks

Thank you for your input

Awesome! Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot. That helped.
The rubber cap is glued on. If you take a small flat head and run it under the cap from the bottom it should come off. It might take a little force.

I have the same problem. Also turned the screw on the right and now I can focus the diopter
Thank you for the post
