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.

I ordered on-line but they came broken. Although they are powerful so I returned it in store and requested to reorder. I am waiting to receive it soon.

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.

I’m a novice at using binoculars, that said, these are pretty big but you can zoom in pretty far and get a decent quality image. Takes some getting use to for rookies.

You don’t have to expect that much for a $50 binocular. Not a great visibility from far, just. OkThey just do their job,

Great Binoculars for the price my only complaint is they fog up on the eyepiece too easily. Love being able to zoom in and out.

First time using these binoculars it broke. while adjusting them the center focus knob broke so You can't really see it all out of the lift side but the right side works so I guess I paid for a monocular.
