5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Be Fooled By its Size!, December 13, 2001

This binocular has the power of magnification I'd expect to find in heavy and bulky units. I was fooled by its weight and size and thought it was weak before I even looked through it. I was amazed at the power and clarity this binoclar provides even at high power. It comes with a neat belt carrying case and weighs absolutely nothing and at times I forgot I had it with me. I recommend it to anyone who wants a high power binocular in a very small package.

Compact and light but 27mm objectives limit useful power to around 30x, anything higher requires a tripod anyway. Still,for brilliant days it's nice to have the potential. If price is a factor this is a good choice.

I'm not an expert on binoculars - I just needed some for watching wildlife, sporting events, and babes at the beach. I wanted something compact, but I figured that unless these things were the size of telescopes you didn't get very good magnification. It turns out I was wrong! This binocular has excellent optics and magnification. It blows away some other larger units I've tried. I highly recommend it for anyone who hikes, goes to ballgames, or has a boat.
