  Very nice entry-level viewer for novice birdwatcher

  • Razor-sharp image
  • Complete
  • Nice fitting bag (not too tight)
  • Not heavy, but solid
  • Nice compact
  • Eye side lens caps are not attached to the viewer, small risk of getting lost

  Only owned it for a short time but very enthusiastic. Impressed with the image. The plumage of birds can even be clearly seen. Very nice.

  Beautiful binoculars for relatively little money

  • Performs great in the dark
  • Sturdy movable parts
  • Tripod connection
  • No carrying bag but harness
  • heavy

  My old binoculars had to be replaced, because the rotating parts were lame. With these binoculars it feels much more solid than my old ones, even when I just got them. Compared to the old one, which already performed well in the dark, this one performs perfectly. I also checked out the 8x32 and while it isn't much lower in the dark, it still has a brighter image. Choice is also made on these cases because of the tripod connection. You still have to arrange that yourself. There are also disadvantages, so I had to consider it carefully. With 650 grams, these binoculars are quite heavy. A nice carrying bag is included, but unfortunately not just for around your neck, but a kind of vague harness construction. So I have to come up with something for that.

  Great lightweight binoculars

  • Easy in use
  • Weighs little
  • Nice image in daylight
  • The lens protectors fall off easily
  • Less good image at twilight

  I think these are very nice binoculars to take with me on my walks. Nice and light and a comfortable lanyard around the neck. In daylight, the viewer gives a good picture. For twilight you need a more expensive model. A downside is that the retaining rings of the lens protectors do not work properly. If you walk around with the protective covers open, they fall off unnoticed. I take off the protectors while walking.
