Build quality is excellent, instructions are great

UPDATE 1/14/16 I have bought new binoculars with adjustable eyepiece (Nikon Aculon A211 7x35). With them, I can use Snapzoom flawlessly. In fact, I brought it to the store to make sure it fit properly (see photos below). Mind you, I didn't have time to properly set up Snapzoom in the store, but even with this less-than-perfect mount, the shots turned out great. Upgrade to 5 stars! Build quality is excellent, instructions are great, but they don't work with binoculars that have a small distance from the focus plate to the outside of the eyepiece. Before you buy this product we will warn you. If you already have binoculars, make sure you are at least 20mm away from the focus plate (between the eyes) and the outside of the eyepiece. If you don't do this, you won't be able to get the Snapzoom flush with the eyepiece if you want to mount it as shown in the pictures. If the camera is not level with the eyepiece of the binoculars, you will not get any usable images. I will be buying new binoculars (looking for this gap) and then update my review from now on. The reason I gave 3 stars is because the documentation doesn't mention this distance, only that porro lens binoculars are not preferred because they can hit. I cannot stably mount it on a lens. However, this could apply to any binoculars it would also be helpful to know the exact number.

The reason I gave 3 stars is because the documentation doesn't mention this distance, only that porro lens binoculars are not preferred because they can hit. I cannot stably mount it on a lens.
