Great Quality Binoculars

This was a gift for an avid bird watcher and it was very well received. The binoculars are great quality and have a very sharp view when looking through them. So when looking at friendly critters or birds, the level of detail is like you've never...

Fast delivery and in good condition!

Fast delivery and arrived in good condition! This was a gift to someone, so I can't comment on the quality or the functionality of this product and that is why I did not give it 5.

Great camera binoculars!

Gift for husband. Uses it for work. He carries it with him everywhere. Photos are taken for reference, not for high-end photo duplication. Video is very helpful. Pleased with quality.

clear view

view is layered, camera is not adjustable

Bad pictures, bulky to use.

 

Bad pictures, bulky to use.

The main reason for buying this camera is to be able to take good pictures from far away. The quality is very poor. The unit is very bulky to carry around your neck. The SD card slot has some block in it. I was not able to even insert an SD card. All...
