I specifically was looking for binoculars that I could use with a smart phone to take pictures/videos of the moon rising along a landscape. The Kentfaith high power binoculars do a great help in composing my shot.
- At 70mm I would advise using a sturdy tripod because even the smallest hand-held movement would shake the view.
- What is needed is a strong bracket so when I'm touching the smart phone or adjusting the binocular it doesn't keep bouncing around. Best practice is to use a Bluetooth trigger on the smart phone to take pictures or start video recordings. A Metal L Bracket did a better job in isolating vibration.
- Because of the right eye diopter, best practice is to mount this on the left eye piece as that side is doesn't turn. I prefer to shoot in horizontal mode so setting up the mount so that camera was level to the horizon took some practice. This way I was using the right side to set up the shot while the camera on the smartphone was using the left side.

These binoculars are exceptional. The field of view is excellent. The light gathering capability is very good. The Zoom factor is strong steady, and an accurate representation of its stated power. They are not lightweight for binoculars of their size. I can spilt double stars with them and the moon's craters and mountain ranges are clearly visible.

These are great for viewing stars and the moon, I took them on vacation to view the ocean and could see very far out and vary clear. I suggest a good tripod because it is shaky.
I find it to be a little heavy to be holding for long period of times. Other then that it’s a good product

Very powerful and clear magnification. One must follow the directions on how to adjust the binoculars for viewing.

Nice heavy duty binoculars they are heavy too. Without a tripod your arms will get fatigued quickly. I took the pics just holding my phone to the eyepiece. I rarely get good moon photos with cell phones because the brightness blurs out all the craters on the moon.Overall, these binoculars help to see the craters on the moon, but cell phone photos are rarely possible.
