Binoculars for Adults Bird Watching usogood 12x50 High Power Binoculars for Stargazing, Traveling, Hunting and Hiking with Tripod Phone Adaptor for Photography - BaK-4 Prisms, FMC Lens Black

I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a budget price pair of binoculars, and when they arrived I was concerned with the size of the packaging that they had sent a smaller magnification pair. But when unpacking the box I was delighted and surprised about how compact and lightweight and excellent quality the AT66 12x50 binoculars were, comfortable to hold with it's soft rubberised coating. Optics are clear and easy to focus also due to there weight and size no shaking. I saw a comment about a faulty eye piece cover but it is how it's designed to easily unclip one side of the cover. Best read the manual it has easy instructions on how to set them up, I've not used any of the accessories as yet but they look easy to set up. Overall if you're looking for a budget priced, good value for money, excellent, lightweight, comfortable, clear optics easy to use budget priced binoculars go no further, these are what you are looking for.

I’ve had several pairs of binoculars before, for various interests (high powered Astro, birdwatching etc). I needed another pair to keep in the car for adhoc use, and maybe to take on holiday. These, while not being the smallest, are of a size that suits all my purposes. Coated in rubber, they are of sufficient weight to fell feel pretty substantial, but not too heavy to hold for extended periods. The optics give a bright, clear view and are very easy to focus and operate, despite the mild warning in the included instructions, that it may be difficult for first users to focus first time. The included accessories/attachments were a consideration to me, when purchasing these, but may not be necessary for everyone’s needs. However, this only adds to the usability for me, and makes a very useable and cheap item even more of a bargain. I highly recommend this item.

Firstly these are not 12x50 - the aperture is nearer 40mm and is a more accurate description, However having said that, for £30 they are surprisingly well made with a host of accessories and with a very sharp clear view, in fact better than some I’ve paid a lot more money for. There is a tough rubber casing and they atre not heavy nor bulky, so ideal for bird watching or just generally carrying around. The case is well made and there are straps provided. All in all, I am quite pleased with the quality and performance for the amount of money I paid, so these are definitely a keeper and I would certainly recommend them!

For the price these are excellent binoculars with strong features. The build seems, the tripod is an added bonus as is the phone adapter which fits ok and allows you to capture images from the binoculars. The case is very lightweight and flimsy but at this price is good enough. It hasn’t got all the features of the top models but at a fifth of the price is a steal.

These binoculars are fabulous! TBH I wasn’t expecting a great deal as they’re so reasonably priced. But they’re just fantastic. They’re light weight, the rubber coating allows for perfect grip, they’re clear and very easy to focus and the attached caps at the large end of the eye glasses are brilliant. I had a little play with the camera phone attachment but didn’t really get in with it. That doesn’t detract from my 5 stars though because it’s still a great price for a pair of excellent binoculars. I take them on every walk I go on and I use them almost daily.

I found them very easy to use. The picture quality is extremely good. Unsure on how to attach my phone to the binoculars, hope I do not need a 3 year old to put me right. I will try to get this done this week. Love the lens covers. Which have an extra piece to them which enable the covers to be taken off but still remain attached to the binoculars. Very useful and easy to flip off in a hurry so that you can be ready in an instant. The same goes for the eye covers they are attached to the neck strap. Both just a simple idea that saves you from picking them up from the ground or even losing them. Also I love the carry case that comes with them. For me I like that you can get the instruction booklet in as well as the binoculars. Just room for a bar of your favourite chocolate. Slightly bigger and lunch/tea would get in. Every one likes a handy bar of their favourite sweeties to nibble on. Especially if you are on a day out and get hunger pangs. Sorry not worked out how to get a drink in yet. All in all they are really good binoculars. They are easy to focus near and far. At the moment I am trying out seeing different things at different distances. My previous binoculars were mainly for near rather than far distance. I hope the soft feel of the binoculars is of better quality than my last pair, which became sticky and horrible to touch. I will wait and see, though it does feel a lot better quality than my previous pair. They both (binoculars and case) have good quality straps but I am not keen on the split holder. It makes it a little awkward to fasten the strap on the right hand side as it will not stay in place. It ends up just through the the bottom holder on that side. I also can’t seem to get the eye piece covers in the right place to fit the neck strap to the binoculars. That is my only gripe and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Photos show that split side holder with and without the strap.

I bought these binoculars in April as a gift for a friend. When he opened the box he found that they aren’t 12x50 but at best 12x40. The markings on the bins state 12x50 but this is misleading. The 50 refers to the diameter in millimetres of the objective lenses (the big ones at the front), but the lenses on these are only 40mm. I’ve compared them to my own 12x50s and it seems they’re not 12x magnification - possibly 10x or even just 8x. I should say, though, that I’ve made these concerns known to the seller and they are dealing with the issue in a very professional and respectful way. They are clearly concerned about the issue and willing to address it properly. That said, I find the quality of these binoculars and the accessories provided to be very good at this price point. Other reviewers have complained about build quality, poor collimation, inability to focus properly, etc, but I have no complaints with any of these issues. They feel very sturdy, and focus very easily. Collimation problems are easily caused by the items being dropped, heavily knocked, etc, so this is more likely to be an issue caused during delivery and transport rather than anything to do with the manufacturer. Yes, the accessories are not the highest quality available, but at this price the binoculars alone are great value, so I feel lucky to get any accessories at all - and they’re still useful.

These are a decent set of budget binoculars.For the price you cant go wrong.I live on the 12th floor of a tower block and there's always something to see out of one of the windows.I have a view that can see quite far into the distance so a pair of binoculars are great for a better view.I can't fault the binoculars they are pretty decent,however I feel the phone attachment lets this set down.The small tripod is pretty basic but works just fine.All the little attachments (see my pics) are fiddly to put together and attach imo.Attaching my phone was a bit of a nightmare and took me about an hour as I'd never done that before.There is an online youtube video if you look in the manual there's a small little square barcode thing you scan to watch it.The video goes at a hundred miles an hour so you will need to keep pausing it.I couldn't get it all set up straight to take a picture as you can see by my miserable efforts lol.And that was me trying to hold my phone straight on the tripod.The biggest problem I encountered and it could well just be me as a newbie is that the weight of the phone destabilises the whole lot and it will fall over.I haven't found a way to make it all nice and stable and straight to take a picture.I had thought of wrapping it all up with gorilla tape but then I'd have my phone,binoculars and tripod all stuck down pretty tight so making a call with all that stuck together is a bit impractical lol.So to sum it up the binoculars are 5* but the phone attachments let the set down a little but if your patient or know what your doing it's not going to be a problem.It comes in a nice storage carry bag too.There was another set of straps inside the bag to attach to the binoculars so you can wear them around your neck which I found when I was putting it all away.My advice would be to get a clear zip lock bag to put all the different attachments in and maybe invest in a hardshell case or a small bag to keep everything in as it will be inevitable that you could lose some of the parts as they do not all fit in the bag it comes with.Would make a good gift for someone.
