Whoa!
1 of 1 found this helpful To say I was blown away by these binos would be an understatement. Were purchased for some casual stargazing - low power for easier viewing, and the wide angle to get the bigger picture. With Britain's rotten skies at the mo, I wasn't able to do much testing, but in breaks between clouds I was very satisfied with what I could see. The moon in particular was very sharp.
During the day - WOW - 5x gives more than you think - I was seeing about the same detail as I would in a 7x or 8x full size binocular. We have the same 5mm exit pupil optics here, which means bright, clear and sharp optics = to what I get from my Nikon Aculon 8x42 - yes, the visionking's optics are that good.
The wide angle is outstanding, and very sharp in the centre where it needs to be. As you go out to the edges, you will get distortion (but only if you look for it). These could be used as your main day time binocular, and again, I'm very surprised how much I can see with only 5x, and oh, those 5mm exit pupil optics - hmmm.
What I don't like is the carry case - it's more like a cheap camera bag and zipped, which can cause issues with the neck strap - a soft Velcro sachet would have been better, like you get with most binoculars.
Maybe I would have liked a porro version. The engineering is remarkable as it is - a roof prism with wide angle - never seen it before, except in expensive binos. But the porro would have been ergonomically better I feel. The problem with this roof binocular is it's quite heavy (even though technically it is compact), and can be uncomfortable after a while of extended use to hand hold. Not a big deal.
But overall, this is a fab little binocular. You could take it to the sports event and enjoy the easy wide views. Take it out to countryside and enjoy some landscape viewing, and some birding from not far away for virtually shake free viewing.
And don't forget the stars on those cold, dark nights too. The Orion region will be fantastic in November/December when it's high up in the south.
