Leica Geovid 10x42-HDB Obj lens caps

[venado_hunter]

Upgraded my Geovid 10x42 HDs to the newer HD-Bs.
The obj caps/covers are terrible. Anyone have a replacement idea for a better cap.

They are the worst lens covers ever made, especially for a $3000 set of bino's. What I did was call Leica USA and told them the objective lens covers fell off/lost and they sent me a new set free of charge no questions asked. I then took the original set and cut the rubber tether between the lens covers and the ring which goes onto the bino's and replaced it with para-cord. I crazy glued the cord on both ends. Works like a charm. I will try and post pics tonight. The reason I had Leica send me a new set is so I have a set unmolested in case I ever want to sell them. How this got through QC on Leica's end I will never know, absolutely ridiculous. Other than the lens cover issue I love the bino's.
