### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear Bright Porro Prism Binoculars
*by J***F on October 16, 2024*

I am starting to injoy these Up Close G2 10-30×50 Binoculars. The optics are of good quality. Clear Bright Images . They are a little difficult to focus at first but as you use them it gets a little easier. Sturdy well built. Not to heavy some were around 2lbs. I do suggest a Trypod for they start to get heavy and shaky after holding awhile. I was able to catch the comet as it went by here in Carmichael ca. This evening 10-15 2024. I could see the heat waves behind the Comet. Do not have phone mount for binoculars. Will need to purchase. The moon was close to full tonight and was able to zoom in to see some craters. Zoom lever works great able to zoom in and out no problem. These are my 1st. Porro Prism Binoculars and I w really like the optics they use. Very good for the money and if you are a beginner to binoculars these would be great to start with. We go camping and hiking alot. And binoculars come in very handy. I use my Nikon Action 22×50 and Bushnell 20×50. Alot as well. I suggest purchasing a hard case if you plane on taking trips with Binoculars. All N all a very good investment. My wife likes using these because there a little liter to hold.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good binoculars for such a low price
*by J***C on December 22, 2013*

First of all, people need to understand: When ordering binoculars online, especially ones in this range, you are taking the chance you will get a bad pair. Between the factory and the shipping to your door, there's a chance the pair you get WILL BE OUT OF COLLIMATION. This means you will see double and never get a merged focused image. In other words, they'll be useless. If you read through reviews that's the main complaint people have and they conclude the binoculars "just suck". However, it seems the number of bad are outweighed by the number of good ones people received. And Amazon is really good at returns and exchanges, so you really just stand to lose time and convenience having to make the return if they are out of collimation. Having said that...Since my main use is for stargazing I already had gotten the 15x70 SkyMaster, which is also an excellent pair for the price. But because of their size, for hand-held use they can be difficult to use. I can manage pretty well, but my wife definitely had a harder time, so I took a chance with these. Having taken the collimation gamble with the SkyMasters and being a pessimist, I wasn't expecting my luck to be good twice in a row. But these also arrived in collimation and focused just fine. After the relief of that, the second thing I noticed was how much easier they were to hold, and therefore, how much better and stable the image was. Using them at night was just as easy. Between their size and lower magnification I was able to focus in on objects a lot easier than with the SkyMasters. My wife also found them MUCH easier to use. The image is not as close or as bright, but for hand held use the stability of the smaller one wins. However, even though I could see Jupiter and it's moons 'good' with these 10x50's for a longer time, I still switched to the 15x70's for a 'better' but shorter view. That wouldn't be an issue with a good sturdy tripod though and the bigger one would win ~hands down~ (see what I did there?).Like the Skymasters, these came with a thin flimsy soft case, a cheap neckstrap, lens caps, and a tiny microfiber cloth. Unlike the Skymasters, it didn't come with a tripod adapter, which isn't a big deal since most will use them hand-held and the tripod adapter the Skymaster did come with really sucks anyway. It appears to be a well-built pair of binoculars, but that's not saying anything if a good enough bump knocks them out of collimation. Taking that into account, I ditched the flimsy carrying bags for both pairs of binoculars and put them in "Plano Protector Four Pistol" cases. Overkill maybe, but made me feel better.Overall, for $20-30 binoculars, these are really good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price
*by P***N on December 26, 2014*

These are not high end binoculars. The strap and case are cheesy, the front caps fall off and the rear caps are hard to put on. The first time I replaced the rear lens caps I was surprised when the eyepieces moved. The arm that supports them is plastic. The eye relief is not all that great, so when wearing glasses you can't quite see the full field of view even with the eye cups folded down.However, for my purpose they are fine. I have a nice pair of 7x35 binoculars, but I wanted something with larger objective lenses for star gazing. These are great for that. Collimation of mine is spot on and the image is sharp and clear. There is a noticeable improvement in brightness and detail over my other pair. The rubbery covering feels good, and they don't weigh much more than my 7x35. Focusing is nice and smooth.Instead of the case and caps, I keep them in a plastic bag on a shelf. Not fancy, but functional. The strap I can live with. With care, I believe they will last a long time. And, if I drop them, it's not the end of the world. That's nice when you're fumbling around in the dark.I can see why some folks receive damaged binoculars. The manufacturer's box is not designed for shipping. There is just a thin strip of foam in the bottom. Amazon puts it in a larger box with some air bladders to fill up the space. There is no padding around the inner box. So, if it gets tossed around, like many packages do, the binoculars take the full brunt of it. Delicate optical instruments should have foam cushion all around.
