Review: Great quality at a low price. - Fantastic binoculars! The quality of the image they provide is outstanding. You can pay more than twice as much for the equivalent Nikon binoculars, and the Nikons would probably be better, but they would only be 5 or 10% better, not twice as good. The 8x42 are perfect for me for birding, sight seeing, sporting events and stuff like that. They are a good balance of magnification,wide field of view, and brightness (exit pupil). The higher magnification 10x42 would also be good for these things, but you give up some field of view with the higher magnification. The extra field of view is helpful for following birds that tend to move around. It is easier to find the birds, and keep them in view. Higher magnification also means more image shake, the 8 power is easier to hold still than 10 power. The larger exit pupil makes viewing easier, even in bright daylight, because you can see the full image circle, even if your eyes aren't perfectly lined up behind the eye peices. I where eye glasses and these binoculars work great with them, I have no trouble at all seeing the full image circle. I just fully retract the eye cups with a twist, and I'm good to go.The eye cups make viewing with out my glasses very comfortable, I just have to adjust the diopter. They are a medium to full sized binocular, but I find them light enough to cary around my neck all day. Lighter than my 7x50s ,but not quite as bright at dusk or for looking at the night sky. They are nitrogen purged and waterproof, so they won't fog up, on the inside, and you can use them in the rain with no worries. If they get dunked in the river when you are canoeing, they should be fine. All in all, I think that for the money they are excellent quality, and being nitrogen purged at this price makes them even a better buy.
Review: Clear, quality optics, great price. Compare well to others costing far more - I am a beginner birder. Two years ago, I bought a higher-end pair of Monarchs for my wife. When we started comparing these to hers, we were very favorably impressed. These are high quality: great lenses, easy to focus and solid. There are no problems with stability, they are easy to use. Great for birding. The attached lens covers are a plus - otherwise I'm sure I'd lose them. As many have stated in other reviews, these are surprising for their price point and compare well to binoculars costing more than two times as much.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much is the zoom difference between 10x42 and 12x50?**
A: In a binocular power rating (e.g. 10x42) the first number is magnification. The second number is the diameter of the objective lens (large lenses at the opposite end from the eyepiece lenses), in this case 42 millimeters. Hence, 10x42. The magnification power of a 12x50 is 12 times magnification (12 times larger than normal unaided vision). So the "zoom difference" would be an increase of 20% in the magnification from a 10x42 to a 12x50.The objective lens diameter determines light gathering capability and the size of the field of view. A higher magnification is not necessarily a good thing, as it is more difficult to maintain a stationary image, the light gathering capability is often impaired, and the field of view is reduced. For most uses, a binocular of 7 or 8 power is about right. 10 power is good for people with steady hands, and 12 power often requires a tripod to hold a stable image.

**Q: We are going whale watching, which would be better 8 X 42 or 10 X 42?**
A: I own Celestron 18-40X80MM for the sky view and Canon 12X36 IS III for wild nature. Based on the experience and knowledge I have, using those 2 binoculars, I can tell you that higher a binoculars’ viewing power is, more details but less content on the view you will see, whereas weaker/lower viewing power a binoculars is, less details but more content you will see. Also higher viewing power helps you see things far away whereas lower viewing power helps you see things less far away.

The above said is not all that should be taken into consideration. The other factor is stability that must be well considered because the view through the binoculars does shake/wobbles. With higher viewing power ones, the view is more unstable when held by hands, whereas, with lower/weaker viewing power ones, the view is more stable when held by hands. That’s why my Celestron 18-40X80MM is useless when held by hands because the view shakes and it makes my eyes very uncomfortable. Imagine you hold a level tool in your hands. Your hands shake and you can’t keep it still. You won’t be able to keep your hands steady holding a high-powered viewing binoculars in hands. That’s why I bought a tripod.

Taking these two binoculars into comparison, I’d go with 8 simply because the view would be more stable. Staying on a boat in the water, the stability wouldn’t be ideal.

(Hope it helps assuming you haven’t watched the whales yet.😄)

**Q: they are good to take them to a music concert?**
A: Would be yes. They aren't that heavy.

**Q: Recommended by manufacturer for stargazing binoculars, the Skymaster ED pro 7x50. Is this a good size to put in my luggage to travel?**
A: The Skymaster Pro ED 7x50 is not an outsized instrument and should travel well. The dimensions are 180mm x 198mm x 64mm (7.1" x 7.8" x 2.5") and the binoculars have a nylon carrying case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great multipurpose binoculars
*by F***M on April 22, 2017*

These are pretty high quality binoculars, and perform quite well for the price. They come with some nice accessories as well. All of the components work fairly well, except that the eye cup distance adjustment is a little too sensitive. When placing on the rubber eyepiece cover, it will turn/adjust them. You will need them set to maximum if you rest them against your eyes, or set to minimum if you wear glasses. These are pretty good for birdwatching and low-light use. For birdwatching, you want a low magnification such as 7-8, which will allow you to focus closely and have a large field of view so you can easily track movement. For night/low light use, you want the largest objective lens possible, to let a lot of light in. 42mm is fairly large for objective lenses (7x50 would be better, but you would have to switch to a porro-prism design which results in a full sized/heavy binocular. If you want binoculars for looking at stars, I would suggest getting the 10x42 version as a minimum. A large objective lens and large zoom will help a lot. So you may want to consider a zoom binocular with a tripod. A telescope would be even better :3 These are 8x42, which is fairly uncommon, and on the large size for a BAK-4 setup. 8x is perfect for a large FOV and a close focal length (it's something like 9 feet to infinity). The large 42 objective lens is fairly large, which gives you good vision in low-light conditions, as well as further expanding the FOV. BAK-4 is going to give you the best quality, which is quite noticeable compared to other BAK prisms, or the cheaper Porro prisms. I suspect that these are from the same Chinese manufacturer as many of the generic unbranded/fakebranded 8-10x48 BAK-4 binocs floating around, that run 60$ -80$ range. The company logo is a plastic sticker on a removable nut. The "outlandx" lettering wipes right off with your finger. Even if they are from the same factory, the pricing here is fair, and generally US based companies will do their own QC to weed out any of the lower-end units that will slip through with the cheaper brands. Re-branding aside, the overall quality is quite good. The housing is completely wrapped in a thick rubber shell. It's glued down fairly well and should provide plenty of durability. The lenses are clear, and they are sealed/waterproofed, so you don't have to worry about particles/humidity ever appearing in them. You can mount it to a tripod if you wish, by unscrewing the logo cap. The objective lens covers have a ring to hold them on to the binoculars, and are tight enough that they won't fall off when flipped down. The eyepiece cover is flexible, and split on one side. You can easily tie a lanyard (like paracord) around the unsplit side, and clip that to the included neck strap, so you won't have to worry about losing it. The included neck strap is fine, and will adjust short enough to let you carry these high on your chest, or low at your waist. The included bag is is padded, and decently made. It has a clip-on strap and two D-rings. There is also a pocket where you can keep a small booklet, or the microfiber cleaning cloth.
