For those of you using the Stokes Broadwing - I see that the diopter on this bino doesnt lock.
How prone is the bino to having that diopter setting move around, especially if bouncing around in a car or jeep? I'm considering getting one, but this is about the only reservation I have with this unit.

Judging from the picture on EO's website, this looks like the rotating collar adjustment common to many Japanese-designed binoculars. My experience is that the diopter adjustment on such binoculars is stiff enough to stay put, and I wouldn't worry about it.
Curtis - thanks for that info. That matches what Jim, the dealer at Fat Robin, also told me. My only prior experience with non-locking diopters was with a pair of Bushnell porros, and those things NEVER stayed in place.
That being said, I might consider waiting for the Vortex Furys, if they are ever released (supposed to be August).
Cheers,
