Product Description

The Galileo DM-001 Mini Compact is just that, very compact and very small. Being able to carry these binoculars in any purse and most pockets is the advantage of these binoculars. Fully Coated optics for clear images, micro style focusing, and extremely light weight are some of the features of the DM-001 that making catching the sites on the go without a heavy load a breeze. Even with it's extremely compact size, Porro prism design is used for increased depth perception. The Galileo DM-001 Mini Compact Binocular, like all Galileo products, is made with the "Galileo Difference" so quality optics is what you know you'll be getting.

My wife wanted a small set of binoculars for watching the birds in our back yard. These fit the bill perfectly! She is very happy with them.

Images are very sharp and clear and the focus is easy to adjust. The 8 power is easy to hold steady. 10 power is too much magnification and the image shakes. I recommend the 8 power as on these binoculars for hand held use.

They are also easy to adjust for different distances between eyes.

I was surprised at how bright the image is with only a 22 mm primary lens. The image was as bright as looking at the scene with the naked eye.

Excellent buy!!

Slight delay in shipping due to being out of stock, but the bino's are real good. The image is more clear than my similarly spec'd Bushnell's and the Galileo mini is smaller and lighter. Only wish it had more than just the one loop for the wrist strap as I would rather have a neck strap.

I have owned the Galileo 8x22 compact binoculars for several years and have used them for bird watching and opera. I have been extremely happy with them. The image is sharp and clear, they have a nice field of view and are so light they fit in a jacket pocket. Sadly, they are also small enough as to be easily lost. I left mine in a theater and between the time some kind person picked them up and when I retrieved them from the lost and found they must have been dropped. They now show a double image and must be used as a monocular. Fortunately they are also very inexpensive and I will not hesitate to replace them with another pair. An excellent buy.
