These binoculars are super clear with a bright image. Love the 12 power and the wide field of vision provided by 50mm lenses. This replaces my 10 power binos. What a difference. I use them almost exclusively on my boat while fishing. In large bodies of water many objects of interest are a long way off so the 12 power lenses are a big advantage. They are a little pricey, but worth it. It comes with a very comfortable neck strap and a nice carrying case which I personally won't use. I tried the Vortex Razor binoculars which cost $1200. They weren't any better than this Viper model which is half the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first new binoculars
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2024
I'm using it on outdoor walks and for birdibg. I am very satisfied with the product. But since it's my first new binoculars I can't really tell if this is the best price/quality correlation binoculars. I very like the field of view and definition. It's also compact and light. Definitely the best binoculars I have ever used.
Just a concerned goyim

Needed a pair of binoculars for my Bugout bag. This company got these to me in one day. Is it bad I learned how to use binoculars at 42 years old? Haha. So that being said I don't really have any basis for comparison but damn these do the thing. Bought from a company on Amazon called Eurooptics. Make sure and give them your business. They're clear. Great HD quality I haven't gotten to use them alot. But if you're a beginner these are the bees knees. Ya feel. I'm just a concerned Goyim.

We live in a semi rural property in Queensland and our property is always active with bird life. We had an old 1980s set of Jason 6x binoculars but the optics were not flash. These binoculars are awesome! Great optics, powerful zoom, and amazing light gathering powers.

A really great set of binoculars. I have been using mine heavily for birding for the last year and a half.
Pros: They have great glass that is very clear and bright. They fit well in my hands. The build quality is excellent and durable. They basically look and feel exactly like the day I bought them, maybe a little patina on the rubber armor. I don't really care for the special case they come with and not many other seem to use it. The binoculars really feel durable enough that a case doesn't feel needed. I have kept mine in the truck through blazing hot summer days and freezing cold nights with no apparent distress. The locking diopter is nice because you set it once and forget about it for life. The rain caps and lens covers both work well, are durable and easy to use. There is absolutely zero backlash in the focus wheel, which makes focus precision better.
Cons: The eye cups could use stronger detent. I use mine fully extended because I don't wear glasses and I frequently find the view messed up due to one of the eye cups retracting to another setting. This is really annoying when you are trying to get that real quick view of a rare bird and have to stop to fix the eye cup. The focus wheel has (I presume) some kind of damping fluid in it. At cold temps, this fluid becomes very viscous and makes the wheel very tough to turn. This issue is compounded by wearing gloves and losing grip. The neck strap connection to the binoculars comes loose at the adjustment buckle, I've moved to an aftermarket strap. I've looked at the high end binoculars in the Vortex line and have not noticed that these mechanical issues have been fixed.

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2023
Very happy, satisfied with this purchase. My pair of Zeiss Conquest 10x42 was stolen. I needed a replacement pair of binoculars - but was not able to pay $1000 again. I own many VOTRTEX products including spotting scope and 6x32 binos. So I figured I would give this pair a shot. I am very happy. Worth even penny. Probably as clear, sharp as my Zeiss pair that was stolen - in all conditions. It feels a bit heavy - a tad heavy - but that tells me that it is built solid. I highly recommend for birding.
