The focus works very well and doesn't wander just by holding them to your face like my last set of binoculars with the rocker style focus "knob".

I read many of the reviews on Amazon before I purchased these binoculars. I noted that many people had complained about the collimation. So I ordered mine and hoped that they would be OK. They were NOT. The collimation was off terrible. However, when I called Amazon and explained my problem they immediately sent me another pair. These were perfect. Thanks Amazon for great customer service. These are good binoculars and a great deal for the price. No they're not what you'd get for $400... but they are good!

If you have shaky hands then you will have trouble holding them still.They are twice the size of 8x56 binoculars.The viewing capabilities are amazing, you can view things 50ft away or focus in on the moon or stars. Very good all around. Just hard to hold still. Nothing a tripod wouldn't fix

Purchased to see things that go bump in the night. For those who don’t want to break the bank. Good picture quality, zoom works as intended. Good for camping and around the homestead. Satisfied with the price for a good entry level pair of night vision binoculars.

Love it,has a lot power. I am impressed with the price. I can see what is going on in the neighbor hood with out a bulky pair of weak binoculars. good deal.

I live up on a hill, with a nice view of city lights from about three to fifteen miles away. These binoculars are excellent for this range, although you have to know what you're looking at in order to fully appreciate what you see 15 miles away. And as others have said, A TRIPOD IS MANDATORY, as is a firm surface with which to place it. There is no ZOOM, but anything further than about 25 feet comes into focus well.And at 25X, you are not going to be tempted to spy on your neighbors unless they live right next door. These binoculars give you good terrestrial viewing, but if you want to make out fine details from about a mile or so, you won't get it with this. You'll need 50X or more, but be prepared to pay dearly for that in a pair of binoculars. 25X, at least at this price, is a very good combination, especially considering the wide field of view this provides.

Adjustments are easy. It's comfortable. Clips are firm and won't release without effort which is good.

I purchased these and they arrived on time. I have used "Standard Size" binoculars for hunting and general use for over 50 years and these are my First pair of "Giant Binoculars". Other than the enormous size and increase in weight, these are Binoculars. After taking these out of the box, I was quite pleased with the overall quality and "feel" of the binoculars. Very nice rubber coating and overall they seemed heavy and well built. I also ordered the Vista Explorer 60" light weight tripod with the binoculars. OK...so here is what I got: 1) On the first "trial" I could not get the binoculars to focus, and the images were Double and Misaligned. This was a disappointment, but, like many things in life can be disappointing and many other reviews Cautioned about defects, I took my chances based on the low price and free returns with "Prime". Like any other purchases I make that are seemingly defective, I am most likely to try and determine and correct the problem before returning, especially if a lot of reviews "Exclaim" about the quality. (if it had a Flat tire, would you simply try putting air in it BEFORE returning ? I would ! ) So, I got online and immediately found this site: http://www.oberwerk.com/support/collimate.htm It turns out that this particular problem is a "colimmation" issue and not "that" serious and if You have any mechanical ability and some basic experience with Jewelers screwdrivers, this is an Easy Fix. It did take me about 45 minutes but, for $60 I think these Binoculars are still a Great Value ! 2) These Binoculars are Heavy. You will need a tripod if you plan on using them for more than 15 minutes, or, something to lean or rest them on. I purchased the Vista Explorer 60" "LIGHTWEIGHT" Tripod. It clearly says these are light weight and ANY time you put something Very Heavy on top of something Light Weight, You Will have issues. Key words here: "Heavy" and "Light weight". 3) I bought these binoculars and tripod to introduce my 10 year old Grandson to Beginning Astronomy. I didn't want to spend a small fortune on a telescope and figured this will suffice in fulfilling the requirements of his first time and at a minimum, provide some exposure. He will learn to be patient. He will learn to be very patient, very gentle, and very careful with this New "high dollar equipment". In conclusion, if you have very little mechanical ability and things have to be perfect, and, you have very little patience then do not buy these Binoculars, OR this particular tripod. Go ahead and spend $1000 to get some serious equipment. I consider the 45 minutes it took me to remedy the adjustment issue (collimate) kind of like "assembly required". Also, I now know how to collimate binoculars.
