I live by a large pond and my wife and I like to watch the birds, squarles and alligators out back. The pond is a half mile long and pretty wide so I wanted stronger Binoculars then we had these are very powerful at full power and have to be steaded but at lower settings they are wonderful and just what I wanted. Well worth the money.

I love the Zoom lever on the side, awesome for looking at the moon and mother nature very powerful, I recommend getting a Tripod for a camera, they get heavy after 5 mins holding by hand. I also ordered a Gizmo to mount my cell phone to the eye piece to take photo's :)

Maybe not the most high end in the world, but for getting a closer look, these are great. I have used them in my backyard, just practicing. We are taking them on a trip with us soon and I am excited to use them out in the wild!

Holy Moly! I am immensely impressed with these binoculars. For those looking to purchase them I highly encourage you to purchase the suggested tripod for them. These binoculars weigh 3.09 lbs and can be very difficult to hold after a while. The tripod will also provide stability when using the phone adapter. As with all binoculars, the further away something is, the 'cloudier' the image apears through the lense. This brand is no exception, however, during the day I can see literally miles away before the cloudiness becomes an issue. There is a ski Lodge 9 miles, as the bird flies, from my house. The only way you can see it is at night when it is lit up. I was able to clearly see the building through these binoculars from my front porch today. I can't wait to bring them on our camping trip! The strap and holding case allow for easy storage and carrying while the lense covers prevent scratches and possible damage from occurring. Definitely worth the investment for any outdoor fanatic!

I purchased this product so I can get a clearer view of people who are walking or driving in my community. I am able to view people walking on the beach in front of my home or vehicles entering the community to verify that they are there with a good purpose and not coming to commit criminal activity. The zoom feature is very helpful and the clarity of the lens are extremely important.

This is a fine piece of equipment. The optics are clearly top class. This is too heavy to use effectively with your hands alone, so make sure to get a tripod. Especially for the higher zoom levels. It's really well built overall. Comes with a carry bag, lens caps and a tripod adapter. Individually lenses are super sharp for distant objects.

I was very happy when I received my new binoculars. I am thoroughly impressed with their performance. The image quality is crystal clear, with excellent resolution and color accuracy. The magnification is ideal for observing birds, scenery, and outdoor events.
The adjustability made it easy to customize the fit and focus to my eyes.

These binoculars are well built and easy to use. They are a little heavy but manageable. The clarity is excellent even when the zoom magnification goes beyond 20x.

I ordered these binoculars in hopes that it would let me do some quick stargazing. I have a really nice giant telescope which is outstanding, but it takes so much effort to move it and get it ready that it only comes out on special occasions. I was looking for something that I could quickly walk outside and look around.I didn't really realize that this was such a huge set of binoculars. They're impressively large. They gather a lot of light, but they're a bit too large to really hold steady. If you're going to want to get a steady image on these, you really need a tripod or lay on the ground so your hands are more still. These binoculars have a zoom knob, but I've found that zooming in on night objects doesn't allow them to focus as well, so I think it's better to just leave them zoomed out. You really don't need to zoom in too much to see some impressive sights in the night sky. I bought these out at night on the day that they were delivered, even though it wasn't an optimal viewing evening. The sky was a bit hazy and the moon was almost full, but I pointed them towards Orion near the horizon and was shocked to see how well the Orion Nebula popped out at me in the eyepieces. It wasn't as nice as my huge telescope, for sure, but I was looking at it seconds after I stepped outside. This was exactly what I was looking for.
These aren't the best binoculars that you can get, but they are quite good for this price point. You could spend ten times more money on a nicer set, but I was looking for something exactly like this - a fairly inexpensive set of binoculars that would get used. My kids have already taken it out a few times to look at stuff at night, mostly the moon because it's still big and bright, but hopefully they'll start asking me about other interesting things up there. If I can get them to start hunting around, which they would never do with my big scope at this point, maybe I can get them started on a new hobby.I'm rating these as five star, not because they are the best, but because they are very good at this price point. The optics are good at highlighting nebulas in my experience, the alignment is spot on so you don't get double images of points of lights. At the lowest zoom level, the magnification isn't huge, but that's not always important.The best tool for stargazing is the one that you use the most, and these are very easy to use. I'd recommend getting a nice, steady tripod to go with these, because that will make them much easier to use.

They were super clear, easy to use and focus. I don't know if they were exactly 30 power as advertised, just were pretty powerful.
