I wear and stalk with lightweight eye glasses. I have now been using the Habrok Pro's for four months and have found that the design of the rubber eye cups ( like other thermal binocular manufacturers ) are a royal PIA when used with glasses, the rubber eyecups have a folding side section which works fine to cover the side of your eye, but its not so great if you wear glasses. I also found the folding side section snags and helps pull the eyecups off.
As a fix I found that using a very sharp craft knife it is possible to neatly cut off the folding side section of the eyecup, the rubber remaining section then is very similar to a normal binocular eyecup and works fine with glasses. A word of warning though, the above fix will only work with the original eyecups fitted to the Habrok.. After chatting to Elite Optical ( Hiks repair team ) about the issue, I found that the Habrok rubber eyecup design has been changed, the Mk2 version which is the only design presently available on the spare parts web page for Habroks is not the same as first fitted, the rubber side piece is more integrated, so it is not possible to be trimmed off.
