12x42 HD Binoculars for Adults High Powered with Phone Adapter, Tripod and Tripod Adapter - Large View Binoculars with Clear Low Light Vision - Binocular for Bird Watching Cruise Travel

For the money, good luck in finding anything better. In fact, I’ve got a normal sized telescope that is fairly new, and these binoculars are a joy to look through! The image is sharp and clean; the unit itself is as solid as you’d want it to be. You won’t have any complaints for the price! The case is absolutely perfect; not cheap at all and comes with a nice carry strap. I also received the attachment for my cell phone that allows me to take pictures through the binoculars. The attachment is also sturdy and well-built. It is adjustable to the size of your phone and you’re ready to take some pretty good pictures of objects that are miles away….and then you still get to expand the image on your phone to view objects that I cannot see with my own eyes. Amazing, truly amazing! Note: For the money, good luck in finding anything better. In fact, I’ve got a normal sized telescope that is fairly new, and these binoculars are a joy to look through!

Got these today and am very impressed with them for the money. They feel great in my hand and am able to see much father and clearer than I had expected. The adjustment controls are easy manipulated and comfortable. I am adding to this review today after owning these for a week. I tried to use the phone adapter today and let me say it is not very user friendly. I was unable to get the camera lens for my phone to fit the adapter for the binos. I could not see a clear view on my phone due the bad alignment. I was able to adjust it in which took around 20 minutes to get a view that would somewhat work which was ok. Just make sure that it's a good fit for your phone. Once again the binos are great and am very impressed

TL;DR: Great binoculars for the price. The phone mount and tripod system are pretty cheap and have limited utility, which is why I give this a 4/5 instead of a 5/5. Longer version: I bought these to bring with me when I go rock climbing so that I can scope out different routes from the ground, and they work great for this use case. I was worried that these might not work for looking at things that are pretty close, but the minimum focal distance I can measure is 9-10 ft (~3 meters). It is quite easy for me to focus on mountains at distances of 10-40 miles (15-65 km), but I can't focus well on stars. Of course, binoculars aren't meant to look up at the sky - that is what telescopes are for. For the price, these are a fantastic piece of equipment. However, the phone mount and tripod are cheaply made, and I could not recommend this set for someone who plans to spend a lot of time taking pictures through the device. The setup just isn't very stable and causes issues where the phone shakes and then struggles to focus properly. It could be OK for more static applications. For example, if you wanted to set this up as a video motion detection rig with a smartphone, I think that could work fine since things won't be moving much. As a bonus: you can flip the binoculars around and turn them into a microscope. I am able to easily focus on individual pixels on a computer screen, and a few dozen pixels on a phone screen. Focal distance/range: 9 ft - 40 miles (3m - 65 km) Size: about the size of an average adult male hand with fingers outstretched. Ocular lens separation: 55 mm (2.2 inches) when close together, 76 mm (3 inches) when far apart. This should be fine for basically all adults and most children. "The average pupillary distance of a typical adult ranges from 54 to 74 mm without much difference between the average female and male PD. A child's distance ranges from 43 to 58 mm." Alternatives: If someone wants something smaller, Amazon has binoculars than can fit in pants pockets quite easily. If you want to collect brighter images (ie, view in low-light scenarios), you'll want something with a larger diameter lens and/or something with lower magnification. These objective lenses (the big lenses on the end) are 42 mm in diameter (hence the "12x42" description). If you need a pair that focuses to shorter distances, get something with a lower magnification (this has 12x magnification). If you have shaky hands, lower magnification is recommended because they will have a wider "field of view". If you don't want to take pictures with your phone, you could probably save a few bucks by buying some binoculars without the accessories. I hope this review helps potential buyers!

I just came back from an African safari. For many years, I have owned a 7x50 binoculars. For the safari, I wanted something that was more compact, had a higher magnification, and was not too expensive. I could not be happier with these binoculars. They are crisp, clear, and easy to use. At this price point, I would recommend them to anyone - I guess I just did!

They say after a man hits 50 they pick up restoring cars, world war history and bird watching. So here we are. They binoculars work really well for the price point. They are clear feel good in the hand and I have no complaints on seeing my new feathered friends. For those that have complained about the accessories, well they work. Are they high quality pieces that yiu woukd take on a safari expedition? No! However they work as well as some of our childhood toys we loved as kids.
