For this price, 1/10th of all others in this category, is great. I purchased specifically for the Oregon coast and where I live on the high desert. The night sky here is incredible, but spotting sky objects with these binoculars is incredible. Used a similar pair in the Navy You cannot go wrong with the price !!

You won't find a better deal. Great quality,(was expecting less for the price). Comes with tripod adapter,case,dust cloth,lens covers,cheap as hell strap and instructions.Rubberized outer shell for water proof.You don't need a tripod for these dont be misled. You can easily hold these just like any other smaller pair and steady them,when you get used to them you can even hold them with one hand because they are lightweight for their size. Very good 3D images, I am very pleased with these and very happy I did not spend alot of $ for them.

I strongly agree with the other reviewers that these binoculars are more than worth the price. Expect to be able to see all the moons of jupiter, some moons of saturn, and even uranus and neptune, even in moderately light-polluted skies. In many ways these binoculars are closer too a telescope in the views it will provide, but still offer the greater field of view and ease of use characteristic of binoculars. However, if you want to see anything other than a bouncing field of stars, YOU WILL NEED A TRIPOD. The weight of these binoculars only adds to the difficulty of holding them steady. Also, while the binoculars are more than worth the price, the cheap plastic tripod adapter included is not. Every time I would touch the binoculars, even with my nose, I would have to wait 30s just for it stop wobbling. I strongly suggest purchasing a separate tripod adapter equal to the task. I got this one Vanguard BA-168 Binocular Tripod Adapter and it is a significant improvement. All in all, even with the extra $15 for a proper adapter, these binoculars are a great deal.
