The objective lens covers for my old binoculars fit perfectly. Much more convenient than the old unattached covers-wish I'd got some years ago! Sizing is correct and they look nice & robust. Very wel... See more

Purchase of a monocular

My purchase of a monocular was straightforward. The website provided sufficient information for making a decision and the ordering and delivery process was smooth. Very good.

Good quality glass

The binoculars are exactly what was wanted but the objective lens cover on one lens broke off immediately it was lifted.
Delivery time was good as was packaging

The binocular strap is great

The binocular strap was just what was required. It is very comfortable around the neck. The website was easily navigated and completed. The cost was reasonable. The delivery to Northern Ireland was rapid.

Oregon WA 10x50

Wanted an upgrade from our Nikon 10x25 travel binoculars for more clarity and hopefully some astronomy viewing as well.

Did a fair bit of online research using reviews from trusted places such as Digital Camera and The Sky at Night. We were initially looking at spending £250 + which we appreciated possibly wouldn't get us much and is nowhere near the pro pricetags but as a first dip into bigger binoculars we thought it was reasonable. That was until we came across the reviews for these binoculars which came out extremely favourable against similar from a wide budget range.

First impressions are extremely good, they feel good to hold and we don't find them heavy, I prefer the feel and handling to our smaller Nikon's. The focusing is simple and the doppler range is spot on for us (one of us is short sighted, the other long sighted), As for viewing we get bright, crisp, clear and more detailed images which is a world apart from using our Nikon's.
We also bought the tripod adapter which is neat and tidy enough to leave permanently fixed in place and doesn't hinder or interfere with handling or operation.

For £69 + £12 for tripod mount and £6 p+p direct from the manufacturer (£75 Inc delivery on Amazon) you get individual lens caps that can be removed from the binoculars, an eyepiece cover, neck strap, a nylon carry bag with strap and a 5 year warranty. Okay the neck strap + carry bag/strap are basic to say the least and the design aesthetics are fundamental rather than flashy but they do exactly what they are supposed to do, and they do it very well indeed.

Dispatch and delivery was via Royal Mail and we received them 3 days after placing our order. What else could you possibly need.
