Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Other high-power binoculars may have excellent optics, but they can also quite literally be a pain in the neck.

The Zhumell 20 x 80 SuperGiants, weigh in at just 4.4 pounds, light enough to use comfortably in the field. Still, they are equipped with an integrated tripod mount for use with any standard photographic tripod. That's just in case you don't feel like holding onto your binoculars all the time.

• The field of view from the Zhumell 20 x 80 SuperGiant binoculars is extra-large and as clear as crystal in a Windex storm.
• Center focus is smooth and easy to operate, allowing you to pinpoint your subject.
• There is a right diopter adjustment to fine-tune your viewing.

But most impressive is the sheer size of the 20 x 80 SuperGiants. The 80mm objective lens diameter is huge. In fact, you won’t find many larger, and definitely not in the Zhumell's price range. Once you try these big binos for astronomical or terrestrial viewing, you won’t want to go back to anything smaller. And, given all the Zhumell's advantages, there's simply no reason to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! - and Great warranty, January 18, 2007

I love these things. What a great piece of equipment for the price. I got these for moongazing and ship watching at the coast. They are great. Using these binoculars, I can see ships off the coast very clearly- even see people on the decks. W/o the glasses- I can barely see the ship itself. It lets in an enormous amount of light. A full moon is almost too bright to look at. It allows you to see very clearly at dusk and at night. Star clusters that are barely visable by eye become very bright and clear with these binoculars. They are heavy and hard to hold steady,so a tripod is a must for any detailed watching. You will not be disappointed.-MORE-- I knocked them off my tripod one evening and busted the eyepieces- boxed them up and sent them back to Zhumell w/ return postage (per their warranty) and received a brand new set within 7 days. No questions- no run around. Nice job Zhumell - I am a customer from now on.

This review is from: Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant Binoculars (Electronics)

I am amazed with the power, field of view, and quality of these binoculars. I went to a high point in my city, and scoped it out. It's like having 2 spotting scopes linked together. I could see things across the valley that I had no clue about with my naked eyes, and the moon looks like it does in those NASA photo's. The binoculars come in a nice soft case with a pocket for extra storage, they have a rubber coating over the exterior, rubber lens covers, a nice steel adjustable tripod mount, and right eye diopter adjustment. You can hold them with your hands, but I ordered a monopod, and it really helps with the stability and makes the viewing experience much more stable and enjoyable. I have had no problems with double imaging, as a matter of fact, one of the main reasons I chose this brand was for the metal rod in the center that holds both sides in alignment, it seemed somewhat necessary to me considering the size and power of the instrument. Get you some!

1.0 out of 5 stars OK as a monocular, not a binocular, June 25, 2007

I could not get these to form a single image of a star or planet because the two tubes are not exactly parallel. I do not know whether that was a quality control issue of the pair I had, or the overall quality specification is so poor that misalignment is typical. Mine went back. A properly aligned pair would be a considerable bargain. If you buy these, buy them from a place with a good return policy. Keep the packaging and invoice.
