a weird bird in my backyard forest in WV, over my bird feeder, that I think is a hawk. -NOW. LOL. PERFECT for "in your back pack traveling in country or other countries; car, or purse". :), and one for my daughter that will BE in Rwanda for the next 6 months. ALL are thrilled, and so am I.hmm. I know it was perched for ever eating a mouse or something, but I am 50, and have myopic issues.darn - should have bought ME one to see so well. PERFECT GIFT FOR TRAVELERS of all sorts, and maybe for old folks that are interested in birds in THEIR OWN BACK YARD.
(they are not "making this up.": 7.2 ounces, foldable in case --- I bought 3: one for my mother (76) that is a "bird watcher" to keep in car, one for my friend that is from Rwanda (he's incoming for a month to study G.P medicine in LA)."WELCOME TO THE BIG USA" I noted.he received them in NYC for his first week in USA ever, and just in time to take them to the top of the Empire State Building, before going to CA for "work". should I buy MYSELF one,too. :) Just in case I find (LIKE TODAY.).
I was very disappointed that the binocular did not come in a box, as it was a gift. The binocular itself seems fine. It came with a carrying case that did not give enough room to include the instructions inside.
However there's a lot of play in the focus mechanism so the focus of the two eye pieces doesn't track. Nice and clear. But if you need to take advantage of it, you must send the binoculars back freight prepaid, with a check for $20 to cover inspection,shipping and handling. I guess I can't complain too much considering what I paid (nothing).I find it amusing that they have a lifetime warranty. The optics seem good for the price. So I have to always focus moving the adjustment in the same direction. That just happens to be their list price. Or only look through one eye.
I bought them for thier small size to see the sights out west. They seem to work fine.
Good pocket sized binoculars to use at sporting events or looking at birds in your yard etc. They are not powerful enough for spotting things on the other side of a lake or up in the sky.
