Bushnell Marine 7x50 Waterproof Binoculars, Blue

I wasn't sure what to expect finding a fully featured pair of waterproof and fogproof pair of binoculars for a well know company like Bushnell for the price it was. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. They shipped fast arriving on time in 2 days. I opened the box to everything ready to go requiring minimum effort to get going. I did get a neoprene neck strap for comfort knowing these are a little on the heavy side. I decided since I don't need binoculars at distances short of 50 hands to get the individual focus so I don't have to refocus but the one time I set it up. Being my first time with the individual focus, it was easy to focus each eye with the other closed at a pine about 50 yards till I could make out each needle. Since then I haven't needed to adjust them at all. They work amazing from viewing wildlife to pool ng up at the night sky. It amazing how many more stars you can see!!! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a nice pair of well rounded binoculars.

These are a bit bulky and heavy, but it is worth it. We took them on an Alaskan cruise and they made a huge difference. My wife and I both said it wouldn't have been the same without them. Highly recommended.

I bought these for a client and they keep raving on how amazing these binoculars are with clarity and ease of use.

I purchased this for use on the water. Works great. Better value than the marine models.

I'm completely satisfied. I bought these for our powerboat and they work better than any I've had previously. They also seem well made. (I have not yet determined if they float!)

PROS:No fogging. Be aware that you must focus each eye separately - this eliminates the middle focus ring that then moves each eye cup. That means more places for water to get in.Bright and clear with sharp focus.7x50 - 7x means 7 times magnification, and 50 means 50mm lens size. 7x is the MAX for hand held especially in a boat. You could even lower that to 5x for a boat where the action of the waves makes if difficult to keep the image still.Solid build quality.CONS:A bit heavy / large. But this is the price you pay for large lens that let in lots of light and are very clear.No middle / center focus ring - each eye must be focused one at a time.Your hands / arms will tire quickly.Strap - could be longer by 12" or so and softer around the neck. You can easily replace or modify the strap.TIP:place hands as close to the end as possible to keep the image steady.

I live on the Ocean and absolutely Love these binoculars! I’m going to see if I can set up a tripod so I don’t have to hold them as they are a little heavy but worth it! The small ones are awful and not worth it.

Big, bulky, manly! Yes, I like all that! Not a dainty set of binoculars, that's for sure, but that's really, really okay! The light gathering capability of these binoculars is great. The image is crisp, bright and clear, even, and especially, at night. The individual left/right focus threw me off at first; I'm used to a focus wheel. But once I "sighted" them in, they worked great. I really liked the indention for the fingers on the top of the barrels. Nice touch. I had trouble getting the shipment on time, but the seller quickly resolved the problem, and I'm pleased. Good buy. I recommend.

Rien à redire là qualité est au rdv

Great binoculars. We will be heavily using them next month watching dolphins. However, we have already tried this binoculars watching birds and picture is clear, magnification is good, you don't need more zoom with same diameter of lenses. Exit pupil is big enough to get excellent and bright picture even in the evening. It is water and fog proof. Technical characteristics are very good for this price. I have spent 2 weeks choosing the right one to be excellent quality and not too expensive. I definitely recommend this one.

The binoculars are a bit heavy but they deliver well. I was able to use them on the water during a sailing event and the lenses are excellent. Very clear.

Los prismáticos son de una calidad excelente y muy suaves al tacto. Mi problema ha venido al comprobar que no se cierran tanto entre las dos lentes a través del trípode central como para poder ver solamente un campo de visión central, por lo que los voy a tener que devolver.

Short answer: This might be the best overall all-purpose binoculars you can get at a price like this. You can go do some fascinating bird-watching adventures, use them on the sea during cruises, or even go into a stargazing trip! Whatever you do, these binoculars always offer a crispy clear 3d image of the world that stands before you. Great pair of binoculars!-Birdwatching: Not the main purpose why I bought these binoculars, but they fascinated me on the quality of the images. The images are especially crispy clear for bird watching, as you stand in the perfect optimal distance away. Even if the bird flies away, these binoculars offer you an enough wide range of view so that you can follow that bird flying way. Very cool and easy to manipulate your vision during this activity!-During activities that includes water: Don’t you worry! These binoculars are 100% waterproof. Not just a couple of splashes waterproof, but more like drop them into water and let them sink waterproof. Even after a few drops of water splashes the binoculars lenses, you’ll still get a top-notch image feedback after a couple of seconds (they don’t tend to leave fog behind).-Stargazing: Mainly bought for this reason, and I am not disappointed at all. Comparing to other big Hits like “Celestron 12x50 or 15x70 or 25x70”, the Bushnell 7x50 will give you make it worth your money. As even the “25x70” gives you the Jupiter as a big white dot a with smaller white dots (its moons) aside it. This pair of binoculars can give you better features. It can help you see (accounting your optimal vision) Jupiter and it’s moon (of course, as white dots in the skies just like more powerful binoculars), Saturn’s ring (if you are very steady, you can see a crease/line across a bright-yellow star), Venus (as a big white dot), Mars (as a bright red dot), and the Moon crusts (can be seen very clearly even with shaky hands).-Pros for pros: These binoculars are better than others (magnitude and physical), because since it’s a 7x50, it will give you a wider range of view (full constellations), planets, and even nebulas in the best of cases! Also, since it’s a 7x50 magnitude, it will give you the most balanced view (close and away), either it’s for close bird-watching or seeking for comets. Physically wise, it is one of the most bulkiest and most durables. It can withstand a pretty big drop without any damage, or even swim with it in deep waters (but why would you do that, the binoculars will only give you darkness lol). BECAUSE it is a two eye adaptor binocular (not just one big adjuster), it can be beneficial for you if your eyes do not see on the same magnitude of vision (just make one lens of your binocular more focused, and the other, less focused).-Is this for you?: This par of binoculars is a pretty heavy one. Even if not the heaviest, you’ll still need pretty still hands for stargazing purposes. For on-water and birdwatching, the weight doesn’t affect that much. Also, the most complained aspect: individual eye judgment. This pair of binoculars can only adjust the view for each of your eye individually (have you eye adjusters, not a big one in the middle). It still works, but it is a big more slower and can sometimes be frustrating to not get the same image for both eyes. ALSO, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE AUTO-FOCUS, YOU WILL HAVE TO AUTO-ADJUST FOR YOUR OWN SIGHTSEEING.Overall, this is a good pair of an all-rounder binoculars that will offer you top-notch images. Also, yes, it works very well for stargazing (moon, stars, planets, nebulas)!
