15x52 HD Binoculars for Adults High Powered with Upgraded Phone Adapter - Large View Binoculars with Clear Low Light Vision - Lightweight Waterproof Binocular for Bird Watching Travel Hunting Cruise

I just received these and have had only a short time to play with them. But I would say that these appear to be a great bargain, particularly with the current Amazon coupon. You have to be realistic and not expect that these will perform like $1,000 binoculars, but these seem very good for the price. The listing description seems quite accurate. They have a nice dark green finish. The image is very bright and clear and also performs quite well in low light. The adjustable eyecups work well (in for glasses, out for no glasses). If you can use the no glasses mode, it will be better. The right lens diopter correction provides a good range for people will different left and right eyes. The focus across the field of view seems very uniform and the focus adjustment is very smooth. As other reviewers have said, the mobile phone attachment is pretty basic. It is not something important to me. These binoculars do not have a tripod mount, but that is not something I would expect in this type of binoculars.Only time and extended use will tell how well these will hold up, but I am optimistic. As I used them more, I will try to update by review. It is indicated that these have an IPX7 waterproof rating, which means it should be good for 30 minutes of water immersion to a depth of 1 meter (about 1 yard). This is more than an adequate rating for use in wet weather. It does not provide protection against prolonged submersion, deeper submersion, or against water jets. But it is still good.Update, including Tripod Mount Comments: We have been using these for awhile. I carry them around my neck on 4 mile walks and find that they are comfortable. The strap appears to be sturdy enough. Even though these are 15X power, I am able to hold them steady enough with just my hands.I did make an error in my initial review. These do in fact have a tripod mount on the front. The manual shows that as well as comments from other reviews. The mount is cover my a plastic threaded cover, which is not too hard to unscrew as long as it has not been tightened excessively. It takes a standard 1/4"x20 thread, which is most common for tripod mounts. One thing to note is there is not a lot of lateral space for the mount. I would probably make one myself using 1/4" or 3/16" aluminum strap bent at a right angle at the bottom similar to what is in the picture. I would replace the knurled nut with a smaller allen head socket machine screw. With that, a right angle or extended allen wrench would be used to attach the adapter, including a star washer. Addition grinding of the upper part of the adapter might be required to achieve a fit that would not interfere with adjustment of the binoculars.

After doing a lot of research, I narrowed my search down to these binoculars. I wanted one for birdwatching as well as occasional sky gazing. I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars just for the brand name. This product checks all the boxes. It has a robust sleek roof prism design and despite being 15 x 52 it is lightweight and can be carried around for long durations. It has a smaller profile and is lighter than my 10 x 50 porro prism binoculars. It is constructed of a polycarbonate material and looks very robust and sleek. It has BAK4 prisms, multicoated optical elements, and IPX7 waterproof certification. Great exit pupil and eye relief. The soft and wide eyecups are comfortable can be twisted out for eyeglass wearers. The optics are superb with hardly noticeable chromatic aberration. No perceptible distortion at the edges. Birds and the moon were tack shop. A nice durable case is provided, and the smartphone holder is a bonus for those interested in digiscoping. And you can activate lifetime warranty! How cool is that ! I am loving it. Absolutely recommended product.

Pros:Low price for well made binoculars, very clear and crisp, not foggy, when looking through the lenses. let's in a lot of light, nice rubber coating that's makes it easier to hold on to, has an attachment for cellphone to take photos of image, nice carry bag.Cons:A little to heavy to cary around the neck when hiking or a long time outdoors.I was skeptical to buy these from the relitivly low price and from the reviews. Reviews are just people's opinion. Sometimes reviews say that a product is good quality when, in fact, the product was not good quality. But when I first used them, they were fantastic for the reasons I have already written. I have had then for about a year. I have used them many times. So I have basically have "field tested" them many times. I think that they are made very solid. But, I also have a pair of light compact binoculars to hang around my neck for hiking and wearing them for a long time outdoors. That said, I would still definitely recommend these great binoculars!!!
