Waterproof Military 7x50 Marine Binoculars,Hooway Binoculars with w/Internal Rangefinder & Compass for Navigation,Boating(Black)

The binoculars are clear and have good value for the money. They are on a large size and a little heavy. They look and feel like a pair of Steiner binoculars. The package comes with 1x binoculars, 1x hi viz yellow strap, 1x case, 2x spare batteries, and a lens cloth. The binoculars have a detachable eyepieces cap and 2 attached front lens caps. The front pivot had a cap which when you remove shows the socket for mounting to a tripod. The lens are focus-free. This means that you won’t have a focus ring in the middle of the binoculars. You need to adjust individual lens to match your eyesight by looking at a distant object and focus the eye pieces one at a time until the object is in focus. Make a note on where your setting are. This can come handy later. This means sharing the binoculars can be a little tricky - especially with someone who is not familiar with how it works. The lens is bright. I can see clearly during the day time as well as at night (not night vision). The lens are clear in the middle but become a little fuzzy on the edge. The binoculars also come with built in compass and rangefinder scales. Both of them are very legible They can be lighted up at night. The compass is stable and usable - I didn’t test its accuracy. I got the with 20% coupon so with sales tax, it costs me almost $100 in 2023. IMHO. It is a good value. Rugged enough to share with others on a trip - as long as you know hot to adjust it for others. The focus free is a nice feature. Its size and weight is on a little large and heavy side. But you get a nice bright big lens in return.

These bi-oculars are excellent. I was not expecting the level of quality and performance i got from these because of the low price tag. I use these when hunting in the early morning and at dusk to help me know for sure the deer is legal before taking the shot. In low light situations they make everything a lot brighter. The distants finder and other features are really nice and it comes with a nice case.

I have two sets of binocs on my boat. These and a pair of Steiner Navigator Pros I bought used. The Steiners are razor sharp, these are OK, but not close to the Steiners. The compass is actually useful when steering a course. Look at a navigational buoy, get the heading and you are ahead of the game. I'm not sure what the purpose of the rangefinder is. It takes up room in the eye piece, I have never used it. I keep the Hooway binocs because it 's another pair people can use to look at seals, birds, etc. But when the chips are down and you need the best, out come the Steiners. I rarely let anyone else use them. I have them dialed in to my eyes and glasses. I don't want anyone else messing them up.

I bought these for the compass. I did not get the compass in my $950 Steiner's because I wanted clean field of view. These work very well and I can take a bearing very easily.

First impression is that these binoculars work well. But why would I possibly want a bright yellow strap when I ordered black binoculars? Seller: can you send me a black strap please?

These were just as advertised and easy to use. After I got the first one for my boat I bought a second pair for my house on the lake. I haven't tested how waterproof they are, but everything else is as advertised. The compass is a nice feature and easy to read.

We have used these for a year & are quite happy. Good value.

Thank you
