I have to admit I have mixed feelings – the binoculars do have good lenses and the image is clear, but there are also some drawbacks. Adjusting the focus is difficult, and the range of motion on the knob is too short, so even a minimal movement changes the focus a lot :(. Additionally, the knob itself is quite stiff and you have to use a lot of force to turn it (of course, this has its pros and cons – I'm trying to be objective). There's no diopter correction here, which for me completely excludes these binoculars from everyday use :( True, you can extend the eyecups a bit on the eye side, but that's more to increase eye relief, like in other binoculars with rubber eyecups. If I were to invest that much money, I think it would be better to add a bit more and buy something even better.

For me, as an amateur, the binoculars work great. This is my first compact binoculars, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It's lightweight, but not too much, and it has a solid build. The only minus is that it doesn't fold completely, so putting it in the case is a bit tight.

Before I decided to keep these binoculars in my gear, I did some tests. For someone like me, an amateur, the equipment works very well. The price-to-quality ratio is right. Advantages: good contrast (works well even in lower light), realistic colors, wide field of view, comfortable, small size and solid housing, adjustable eyepiece spacing, and interesting design. Disadvantages: a bit of play in the focus knob and the binoculars can't be folded completely.

Great device.

Very comfortable to use, excellent quality, I definitely recommend it.
