12x42 HD Binoculars for Adults High Power with Universal Phone Adapter and Updated Tripod- Super Bright Binoculars with Large View- Lightweight Waterproof Binoculars for Bird Watching Stargazing Etc

This is a high quality starter set of binoculars. You can get higher quality with many more benefits but it is going to ramp up the cost significantly. With a voucher, this set is under £45. I am a beginner and just want to have a relatively smaller set of binoculars that will fit in a backpack. I want to be able to watch wildlife etc while on holiday. These fit the bill very well.Benefits are as follows. Fit well in an adult hand. Not very heavy. Rubberised coating. Fancy lenses that do indeed give a great image. 12x42 is a good balance (8x42 would have been better all round but 2 to 3 times more expensive) so best value binoculars. Nitrogen filled so should not fog up? Focus was straightforward. Eye lenses are adjustable and a carry strap and case are supplied. Waterproof but I don’t intend to test this out. Fitted caps are also supplied but the description did not mention this. Tripod is very good. The short distance focus is better than any binoculars I have used before.Disbenefits….starter build quality. Compromise of image provided against weight. Not the most stable if held without support. Phone camera connector isn’t fit for purpose but it can be fixed. Not specialised for star gazing etc.SummaryExcellent starter set of binoculars. If needed for occasional convenient use, at very low price then these cannot be beaten on value for money. Once you have started to use them and decide you want higher quality or function then you will have a better idea regarding what suits your needs. Highly recommend.

Had my Adasion 12x42's delivered today, and have to say my first impressions are I'm very pleased. I've not had an opportunity to test them out yet due to it being the night time (will edit later), but have opened everything up to check all ok. The binoculars feel nice and solid, not flimsy at all. I'm particularly pleased with the fact they come with lens covers both ends. The front ones hang down so as to not loose them too, which is useful. The phone accessory attachment and tripod is also nice and solid, however what I have noticed is that I need to take the phone out the case to be able to use the camera accessory, purely for the depth issue, not the width. It isn't a major problem, but would have been nice if you could have fitted the phone with case on at the same time. The binoculars come with a basic carry case and strap, with a small front pocket. However, what I have already discovered is that the front pocket isn't very practical, as it's too small to fit any of the accessories in and be able to close, so I may need to look into a bigger carry case in the future if I want to be able to take all the accessories out and about. I'm only mentioning it so others are aware themselves, however this wouldn't stop me buying them. The final thing I've also discovered (which again isn't a major issue) is that the instructions/warranty card all seem to be in french only, no English option. Most of the functions are self explanatory, however if there is something your not sure about, you'll need to speak a little french.As mentioned, so far, all in all, I am very pleased with my purchase, and appear to be excellent value for money. Nice and solid feel, rubber grips around it so doesn't feel like it's going to fall out your hand. Once I have had an opportunity to really test out the bins I will update this review.. hope this help people make a decision.

Buy these for fantastic vision at a great price ! Don't buy them if you want to photograph stuff as the phone holder and tripod are useless. Really pleased with the vision don't think you would get better for the price elsewhere . They are also nice and compact and not too heavy.

These are excellent value for money and good quality

Great binocularsSee very clearly

These are great , light, well, made easy to use with one hand , as I suffered from a strokeFew years back , optics are clear/crisp lots wee extras which does not reflect from quality. . Very good for price bracket. . Thanks

Buy these for the binoculars not the tripod and phone attachment, the binoculars are nice and solid and give a good clear view of what ever you want to see. The tripod and phone holder on the other hand are cheap plastic rubbish, the mount for the binoculars broke the first time I tried it and before that it would not hold the binoculars and phone steady enough to get a decent picture. As I said to start with the binoculars are good but it is a shame the extras let it down, it would be better if they offered them at a lower price without the extras .

These binoculars are well made, have a solid feel and give a good clear image. I have recently used them on a Baltic cruise, checking out the terrain of islands we passed, as well as identifying other ships. They come in a handy case as they are not small, but I have never found pocket size ones much use anyway. I can recommend these and they are well worth the asking price.
