- Features
- Size: Full Size
- Lens Tint: true
- Prism Type: Porro (Prisms ensure the proper horizontal and vertical orientation of the view. There are two main types: roof and Porro. Roof prisms, typically more expensive than the alternative, have a more streamlined design due to their glass elements being in line with one another. Porro prisms, though they contribute to a larger form factor, typically provide a wider field of view than roof prisms.)
- Lens Coating: Multilayer coated (Chemical coatings on a lens reduce reflective light loss and improve light transmission. The different coating levels indicate the number of anti-reflective layers and the lens surfaces to which they're applied, ranging from coated (the most basic) to fully multi-coated (typical of high-end optics).)
- Focus System: Center (The most common binocular focusing system is center focus, which features a centered wheel or lever (InstaFocus) between the barrels, and usually additional diopter adjustment. Individual focus binoculars allows each eyepiece to be adjusted independently.)
- Eye Relief: 15 millimeters (The maximum distance between the eyepiece lens and user's eye at which the full field of view can be seen.)

Good pair of binoculars for the price.
I admit I had my reservations about these binoculars after reading all of the reviews. Plus, I had a set of Barska 20x50 that worked well enough, but went out of focus alot. But I decided to try these and am glad I did. They're surprisingly functional and give some great close-up views. You simply focus them on an object at the 10x setting, and then can zoom in up to 30x with a flip of the thumb switch. The only issue I've seen so far is that zooming in to the full 30x can become fuzzy/blurry and it's hard to get a perfectly clear picture. BONUS--you can mount these on a tripod. I've used them on a tripod with my smartphone adapter on one eyepiece and my naked eye in the left to capture some good video at distance. Bottom line is that these are decent and very versatile for the money.

Broken out of the box
Looked promising, felt a little light for binoculars. Went to remove eye caps from binos whole focusing mechanism came off. After further inspection realized main shaft of focusing mechanism was broke out of the box. Since shipped have to return to store. Not very convenient noticed another reviewer had same experience.
