Abstract
A long-range optical apparatus, particularly a binocular having two tubes for accommodating long-range optical devices, includes a first folding bridge, a second folding bridge, and preferably a third folding bridge. The folding bridges are pivotably arranged between the tubes of the long-range optical device and each include a first and a second bridge element associated with each other and pivotable relative to each other. At least one folding bridge has a fit that prevents mechanical contact of the bridge elements to each other at least in regions of the pivoting range of the bridge elements.
