Binoculars for Adults Bird Watching usogood 12x50 High Power Binoculars for Stargazing, Traveling, Hunting and Hiking with Tripod Phone Adaptor for Photography - BaK-4 Prisms, FMC Lens Black

These binoculars are fabulous! TBH I wasn’t expecting a great deal as they’re so reasonably priced. But they’re just fantastic. They’re light weight, the rubber coating allows for perfect grip, they’re clear and very easy to focus and the attached caps at the large end of the eye glasses are brilliant.I had a little play with the camera phone attachment but didn’t really get in with it. That doesn’t detract from my 5 stars though because it’s still a great price for a pair of excellent binoculars.I take them on every walk I go on and I use them almost daily.

Excellent binoculars for the price, I was a bit dubious at first as I had never come across this make before, so glad I changed my mind, they are well made, waterproof and a lot lighter than my last pair with an excellent field of view. the mobile phone kit that comes with them is a bonus for attaching to your mobile enabling you to take pictures. I had small problem with this kit which was sorted out promptly by customer service. An excellent company to deal with. Many thanx.

Decent product for the price. Works fine and does the job. Wouldn't buy for professional use though. Good performance but you can get better quality within the budget range.Overall it's fine I only needed to have a look at the countryside from my window. Easy to use, good weight (555 grams with strap and lenses cover), coated lenses, bak4 roof prism, focus and dioptre wheels both works fine. I have to use the eye relief (15.5mm) every time even if I don't wear glasses, otherwise the image doesn't come out as clear. Lenses and magnification are good, vivid colours during the day time and large field of view, but it doesn't pick up as much light as I thought it would at dusk, despite the 50mm lenses. Good focus wheel. Neck strap very comfortable to wear. Overall a good product for occasional use. I was curious to try a 12x 50mm and not let down at all by performance, but I would still recommend a 10x 42mm or a 8x 50mm for beginners/general use/birdwatching. The higher magnification naturally reduce the field of view causing details at long distances to became blurry. As a general rule images details at 12x can became very blurry so if you go for a magnification higher than 10x and u don't have a steady hand or a tripod, be aware of these issues. Furthermore, if you are planning long observations the high magnification can give you a bit of headache.So about the performance/price ratio I think it is overall a brilliant product for occasional use, but it comes with a few downsides, hence the 4 stars:-rubber cover: this is the bigger issue. After the first use it feels loose, not glued sealed to the main cones, there are few mm of empty space between the cones and rubber cover, not sealed properly, feels like the cones are just wrapped with the rubber cover (not even glued on the main body) which is slightly larger than the cones so it feel's loose when u grab the binoculars. And this also led ma to think that these binoculars are not waterproof at all, I wouldn't even try splashing few drops on it (product is described as "waterproof only under light rain, not heavy rain and not to be submerged in water).-screw that covers the hole for the tripod support: it's just a little detail, but it's cheap plastic, won't last very long.-lenses cover: rubber not great but still does the job. The front covers especially (the 50mm feels very loose don't grip correctly).-Design: i have seen much better even in the budget range, but personal taste I suppose.-accessories: I'm not interested in using the phone adapter or the mini tripod (accessories included that makes the product looks and be perceived as cheaper in my opinion rather than enhance its value) but for those who are it will be good to know that: 1) the L shape adapter and tripod ( both very lightweight, plastic) used together with the phone adapter act like a sort of spring causing millions of micro vibrations that makes very difficult to take a steady picture. Literally, if someone walks in the room and the binoculars on tripod are on the window frame or a table it will never stop vibrating until the person stop walking in the room. This is how sensitive it gets. I managed to reduce this issue by putting a spongy rubber piece between the top of the tripod and the binocular's to absorb vibrations and use a 10 sec timer for the picture (yes, if u touch the screen to take a pick it starts vibrating badly so you have to wait without breathing or it starts vibrate again). 2) the phone clip/adapter only fits older models so any new bigger phone won't fit (I used a Samsung S5 mini to try and it just fits). Also the adapter is only extendable from one side not both sides so , considering the camera in the middle, the phone won't be fully in line with binoculars causing every picture to be slightly rotated if your phone is slightly bigger.-Finally, can I just say, I was curious to try a 12x model without spending too much and I based my decision also on the over 3K (mainly positive) reviews, to find out after I received this items that the product maker (please note: not the seller, which has been brilliant and super fast) use this widely diffused marketing strategy of offering an extra free reward/gift if you leave a positive review....And considering the importance of genuine honest reviews nowadays I consider this to be a very bad marketing practice (but hey! It works I guess! Just be aware when you read reviews cause everyone wants an extra free gift at the end...).So overall the product works extremely well for the price so highly recommended but only if you are buying it for a casual/not professional use. In this case it will be rewarding and a great purchase. Great for stargazing in the garden at night (note for beginners: stargazing only, don't expect to see high resolution details of the moon let's say, need a telescope for that, but you will still get outstanding views) and great to look at the countryside outside your window. Consider if a 12x magnification is what you really want before purchasing, alternatively go for a 10x 42mm if you are planning birdwatching (steadier image, especially if used without a tripod) or a 8x 50mm as an all rounder also good for landscapes and larger field of view. Despite the good lenses, the loose rubber cover of this product is a big let down, feels cheap, not waterproof, despite probably being a better product than what it actually feels, as the issue seems more related to the parts assembling process and rubber quality itself rather than the actual quality of the binoculars.

These are amazing. The quality is unbelievable fir the prise. Slightly larger than I was expecting but light weight. The HD makes all the difference

Excellent quality of vision. Well constructed and protected the lens covers and case. Good value for money and ideal for my needs as easily held and lightweight.

Great item for the price. A lot smaller and lighter than I was expecting. Comes with a nice case and an adapter for your phone camera. Only issue I had was one of the eyelets for the strap was broken on the lens cover so I can only attach it on one side.

Unfortunately the 12 ×42 binoculars arrived not 12 × 50. These are £6.00 cheaper. A real shame as value for money these would have been 5 stars. Edit: Customer service team is excellent and not only offered a partial refund but a full without having to return product.
