Thread: eye cups for binos

I have come into the possession of a set of little tasco 10x25 binos.
BUT the little rubber eyecups are missing. I know they aren't top line but they are a handy set especially for free.
Are there any replacements around or ones that can be adapted?

Bunch of looks at this thread but doesn't look like I'm in luck.
Anybody help here?

Most probably too small but maybe something like this

Or just keep hunting on ebay/aliexpress and you are bound to find something you could use/adapt

edit: try "microscope eye cups" https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesa...20180227011658

I had a similar problem with my Lupys ...the mark2 version has lasted nearly a year I just added some ankle strapping tape , works pretty good & its a good excuse to get another box of muma,s milk

Well that's a new take on beer goggles!

Get a fat O ring of suitable size, and jam inside the rims and up against the outer edge of the lens. Stops lens glass from scratching directly against your (sun)glasses. They all generally work fine without shades including when you don't wear glasses and you get full field of view. Non-problem.

Or play with 3" long piece of racing bicycle inner tube folded back on itself, cut ends together and away from you, the fold against your face.

And @Boaraxa, chillingly pertinent signature quote. Can you include a link to the source in your signature?

There,s no link mate I manually typed it in , quote came from my mates man cave he,s got a bunch of cool things on the wall , its starting to look like a hunters museum but with a well stocked beer fridge

Cordite-its pretty flat-nowhere to jam an oring-just the slot the eyecups would go into. although the bike tube may work-lense tubes pretty small so some folding required.
guypie-the second link was pretty close to what I'm after.
Boaraxa-its just a hard alloy body, no rubber armour to jam anything into.
