  • At $75 these Nikon Trailblazers may just be the Best Bang For Your Buck in the Compact Universe!
I will start with the most important thing where binoculars are concerned. The glass in the Trailblazers is Made in Japan, not China. Japan makes some of the best optics on Earth at a competitive price just about anyone can afford if they want value for their money. While it is true the Trailblazers are put together in China the glass is world class. I find them to be great all-around compact binoculars perfect for hiking or simply having at hand no matter what one wants a better look at. The glove compartment is ideal in my opinion. The Trailblazer binoculars are great for hiking, fishing, ball games, the Moon, and so on. While solidly built they are still relatively light. Much lighter than full size binoculars and easy to stash in a pocket. If you are not sold then my best advice would be to spend about $300 to $350 on a pair of Zeiss Terra ED compact binoculars. Both binocular lines are at the top of their class.... One thing I should add... Smaller Binoculars can be a little more difficult at first than larger binoculars to find the sweet spot for your eyes to fully benefit from them. Try going to extremes .. fully spread, then compare the view with less and less spread. Turn the eyepieces from short to long and just play with the glasses for a while and you will probably find the sweet spot for your face and eyes. Every time I have ever done this it may have taken a while but when I find the right adjustments it is definitely worth the time IMO, no matter which binoculars you buy. Happy Birding! ... show more

  • Great reasonably priced compact binos
The glass on these are great for less than $100. Pros: Very easy to carry and use. Field of view is amazing for a compact bino. Form factor is a plus with a small footprint and reasonable build quality. For the size and price the glass punches way above its price. The best binos are the ones you are carrying and these are easy to carry. Cons: Lens covers will get lost. Eye cup adjustments are too loose. They are either up or down and too loose to stay set anywhere in between. Not so great for low light. Focus rotation is the opposite of every other set of binos I own (turn left for closer focus and right for distant focus). Not a big deal but just a heads up. Overall, if you are looking for a compact set that are easy to carry for hiking, sporting events, or a backup set these are perfect. ... show more

  • Great binoculars. For the price, almost unbelievable.
Used to be a serious birdwatcher, but I'm getting into ultralight backpacking recently, still want to take binoculars with me as my luxury/heavy item. As someone who had gotten used to $650 binoculars, I was dreading what I thought would be an inevitable drop in optical quality when switching to an ultralight model. I was amazed at the optical quality on this light, tiny, fogproof/waterproof pair of binoculars. Crisp image, good light collecting in darker conditions. At the price point, I feel like anyone who wants to lighten their load should not hesitate to get a pair. Only issues are the eyepiece lens caps absolutely suck. They aren't sized right or the material is too smooth. I put a small strip of duct tape on the insides of the rim of they lens caps and that made the friction good enough for them to stay in place quite firmly. There are no front caps. The focus knob is small and slow compared to a more expensive binocular, so not great if you're trying to do high-powered/fast moving birding with lots of refocusing. I hope to test these out agains the Papilio series, but those are not fogproof/waterproof (which usually correlates with dust vulnerability as well). ... show more

  • Solid all around performance, maybe a little fragile...
I bought these for lightweight back packing. These offer a considerably wider field of view than most other 8x25's- 8 degrees vs. the more common 6 to 6.5 degrees. It's impressive that they can produce such a wide field of view with nearly no field distortion, while remaining sharp across the field. They feature a pretty solid close-focus distance, which makes them fun for observing flowers and insects. They produce a high contrast image in reasonable lighting, despite their lack of phase-coated prisms. This suggests excellent anti-reflection coatings and good control of stray light. Compared side by side to a similarly priced 8x25 porro prism binocular (Vortex Vanquish), the image has slightly less contrast, and slightly less sharpness in the finest details, but otherwise compare very favorably. The Trailblazer is lighter and far more compact, which makes them much more favorable for lightweight backpacking use. The one drawback is that they may be a little fragile- I dropped them, contained in their padded case, from waist height while removing them from my belt. To my dismay, this knocked them out of collimation. No binocular should ever be dropped, but it happens, and while it might not be a reasonable expectation, one might hope that the binocular mechanics would be solid enough to withstand a low level padded drop. (I was able to get them back to functional by manually bending the hinge armature, which suggests the issue might be in the hinges, not the prism alignments- the bridge is quite flexible. In any case, minus one star for loosing collimation a bit too easily.) ... show more

  • Great for my kid’s games
Great for price. Just the right magnification for watching my kid’s baseball games. Solid feel, yet light enough for constant use without fatigue or shaking screen. Fits in my pants pocket, with and without case. RECOMMENDATION: eye covers are ripe for being lost. I used a needle with nylon thread to connect the two covers. ... show more
