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.

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!

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.

I have been very impressed with these binoculars. They work very well for looking across Lake Union and scopeing out the downtown skyline. I saved over $100 by buying them on AMAZON as well.

These powerful binoculars are big and heavy. But so am I, so I can hold them steady without too much trouble. Most people are going to want a tripod, especially for astronomy use. They don't like to work through glass. Some people have a hard time focusing them. I have a hard time focusing out double images through glass and at night time. But the more I use them the better I become at focusing them. Zhumell has a great lifetime warentee on their products.

Despite their minor problems that can be worked out through a little practice I love these binoculars. I have used these for almost a month now. Everytime I use them I think to my self that it was the best purchase that I have made in a very long time.

Get these binoculars.

These are working very well. Focus is easy and smooth. Night time viewing is very good. A tripod is necessary for the best viewing.

Although difficult to use without a tripod, these binoculars are well the money. I was very pleased with the purchase.

This is the first pair of binoculars I've purchased and I really liked how they worked. I can't believe all the stars I can now see even past the city lights. I don't have another pair to compare them to, but for what they cost me I'm happy with how they work. Unfortunately, I'm now looking at some telescopes and they cost a lot of money!!! So, for now, until I save for a Meade LX200R, I'll be happy with these Zhumell's!!

Great quality of binocular with a carrying case as well as nice lens covers at attractive price.
Full moon was so fantastic and clear on craters in gazing equiped with tripod. Easy to focus for clear view with ample light gathered through wide 80cm lense.
But it's too heavy to hold it up for a minute and very hard to keep staying without shaking on focus. Definately need a tripod with it.

They Were Great Binoculars But I Had To Sent Them Back They Were Too Big For What Wanted Them For.

Nice binoculars. Great quality, case, and deal. Similar binoculars are $200. Got it here for less than 1/2. Once mounted on a tripod, you can easily view the moon, or wildlife.
