  • Easy to use and a good quality product
I got these to do wildlife observation. They worked quite well, and it was surprisingly easy to take pictures with the supplied attachment. The attachment does require that you not have a phone case on, and for some reason the tripod is designed to attach to the phone holder and not the binoculars (they don't have a screw for mounting at all), but the phone holder at least took very good photos. They are well worth the $65 I spent on them. These binoculars and attachments aren't what I'd call professional quality, but they were cheap enough to not worry about losing to a fall or drop, and they are good enough to make me quite happy with them over some of my more expensive equipment. ... show more

  • Crystal Clear Views at an Affordable Price
I'm thoroughly impressed with these 12x42 HD Binoculars. The view is incredibly sharp and crystal clear, which is surprising given their affordable price. They come with useful extras like a phone adapter and small tripod, perfect for capturing what you see. What I really appreciate is the customizability. You can adjust them for use with or without glasses, and fine-tune the sharpness for each eye. They also come in a quality carrying bag, making them great for travel. I've used them for bird watching and on a cruise, and they've been excellent. The 12x zoom provides a great balance of magnification and stability. Whether you're a casual observer or an enthusiast, these binoculars offer exceptional performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality 12x zoom binoculars. ... show more

  • Advice for 1st-Time Users
The birds, fish, frogs, and turtles in my neighborhood have become my new friends since social distancing began, and these binoculars have been spectacl-ar in helping me identify them. I’d never used binoculars before this new hobby, so here are some things I’ve learned that might be helpful to first-time users: Binoculars always have two numbers in the spec, AxB. A represents the magnification – the bigger the number, the more zoomed-in the image looks. B represents the size of the objective lens, which is the piece of glass at the far end of the binoculars. The bigger the number, the brighter and clearer the image looks. They also have a focus wheel that sits between the two halves, which you’ll have to rotate depending on whether you want to focus on something close or super far away. There’s also usually an additional fine tuner on the right eyepiece that will allow you to adjust for differences between your two eyes. So when using a pair of binoculars for the first time, you should close your right eye and use the focus wheel for just your left eye, and then close your left eye and use the fine tuner for your right eye. After that you can just directly use the focus wheel. I had an old pair of Bushnell 12x25 binoculars at home before I got this Adasion 12x42 set. Here’s a comparison, with things I learned from experience: 1/ Size: The Adasion is bigger because of the larger objective lens. You can see the size difference in my first picture. 2/ Eyepiece: The Adasion has eye cups that rotate in and out, which give your eyes some breathing distance from the eyepiece lenses. You can see in the second picture the right eye cup has been extended while the left one has not. The Bushnell didn’t have this feature, so my eyelashes were always brushing against the glass, and the glass itself would frequently fog up. 3/ Straps: This seems like a trivial one, but it bothered me more than I expected. Bushnell’s straps attach at the center, while Adasion’s straps attach on each side. This results in the Bushnell hanging somewhat perpendicular to my torso, which makes it really annoying as it bounces along while I walk. The Adasion just lies comfortably flush against my torso. 4/ Protective covers: You can see these in the first picture. Each objective lens has an individual rubber cover that hangs off the end. If you don’t like them, you can remove them – they’re attached by a rubber ring that slides off easily. But I think they’re great and protect the glass from smudges. The eyepiece lenses have a joint cover that you take off completely; I only put it back on when I’m done for the day. 5/ Picture quality: The most important difference. You can see four pictures I took through both binoculars. Interestingly, I found that the Bushnell binoculars were very slightly more magnified than the Adasion. I actually prefer the wider field of view of the Adasion, which is more forgiving of unsteady hands. The Bushnell also starts to get blurry on the edges (see the fence and bench or the floating grass in the fish photo), while the Adasion is much clearer throughout. In addition, colors are a lot brighter through the Adasion, while the Bushnell is a bit faded. This brings me to my last piece of advice: the smartphone adapter is pretty cool. I had no idea what a phone adapter was in the beginning – I assumed it was some kind of USB cable that digitally connected the binoculars to your phone, and you’d have to download an app or something to take pictures. Nope. So apparently, you can just hold up your phone camera to the eyepiece of any binoculars, have your phone “look” through the binoculars (monocular?), and you simply use the camera app to snap whatever your phone sees. It works surprisingly well as an amateur telephoto lens. That’s all I did to take the pictures from the Bushnell. Turns out though, it’s kind of hard to hold the binoculars in one hand, your phone in the other, and both steady enough while maneuvering your thumb to snap the photo. It’s flat out impossible to take video. So the purpose of this phone adapter is to make it easier by holding your phone in place. It’s a very simple piece of hardware with a spring-loaded clamp around your phone (both an iPhone 6s and iPhone 11 fit just fine) and a round cap that attaches to either of the binoculars’ eye cups. For best results, attach your phone without the eye cups extended. Righty tighty all the way. I find that provides the optimal phone-to-eyepiece distance for the best view from the camera. I also did some extra research on phone adapters and tried to buy one for my Bushnell. The universal circular ones have a screw cap where the attachment can be expanded or contracted in order to fit any eye cup. But I actually found that the screw mechanism made the attachment so thick that my phone camera was too far away from the eyepiece to see much through it – all I got was a small hole. In contrast, the adapter that comes with the Adasion was built to fit the Adasion eye cups perfectly. It’s a nice snug fit so your phone (even a heavy iPhone 11) will stay in place at just the right distance from the lens and without needing any hand support. The last thing I’ll say about the phone adapter is not to be surprised that your picture is a circle in a black vignette. That makes sense, since that’s what you see when your eyes look through the binoculars too. The rectangular photos from other reviews can be produced by either zooming using the camera’s zoom function or just cropping after the fact. Okay that’s as much as I’ve learned so far through my amateur explorations, hope you’ve found it helpful. :) ... show more

  • Great binoculars __for the money__
I looked at the reviews for these binoculars, and asked myself "how can they make such good binoculars at that price?" So I ordered a pair to see - and, of course, because I wanted a pair of binoculars. Here's what I found. For many uses, these are good binoculars. They have a lot of features that are useful, like a good carrying case, and the lens covers that won't get lost unless you're really careless. The focusing and diopter adjustment work well. Now, here's why these binoculars cost so little. The optics are not well corrected. I noticed this while looking at a raven backlit against a cloudy sky. At the absolute center of the field of view, the image was clear and free of distortion or chromatic aberration (colored fringing). But if the image is off center at all, chromatic aberration appears quickly. Many telescopes/rifle scopes/camera lenses have some chromatic aberration at the very edges, say the outer 5-10% of the image. In these binoculars, I'd say about 50-60% of the image has some chromatic aberration. So why did I give these four stars? Well, there are a lot of situations that mask the chromatic aberration problem, as the photos many users have posted show. Colorful scenes with a lot going on tend to hide that flaw. High contrast scenes with sharp dark areas next to brighter areas make chromatic aberration stand out. By the way, since they don't come with any instructions, be aware that what you might think is the diopter adjustment is really the eye relief adjustment. If you don't wear glasses, twist them so the rubber stands far away from the lenses. If you do, twist them down so the rubber is just above the glass. The diopter adjustment is the knurled ring below the eye relief adjustment on the right. If you want better optics, you're going to pay more. If the optical issues I've described don't bother you, you'll likely be very happy with these binoculars. They seem well made, and have a lot of features for the money. ... show more
