Orion Scenix 7x50 Binoculars - All-Around Performance for Both Binocular Astronomy and Scenic Daytime Viewing & Hunting - Portable, Rugged & Reliable

I have a "fancier" set of 8x42 binocs which cost around $250. They are fantastic except for the small problem that I can't hold them steady - therefore I hardly use them. This Orion 7x50 set is really nice since that drop in magnification plus the wider lenses gives me a nice field of view that I can actually hold steady. They're pretty lightweight too so my arms don't get tired either. Really nice for just casual nature spotting and stargazing. I'm already carrying these everywhere with me. And remember these wise words ... What are the best binoculars? The ones that you actually use.

These are great for night time star gazing and general use during the day such as bird watching. Crystal clear view.

This is amazing binos. It's extremely good for stratings with stargazing. Don't go with optical power. 7x50 is what you need. You could use it without tripod. Another important point is orientation in the sky. You will see MUCH more stars vs naked eye. Wide angle is helping in finding basic objects. BAK-4 prism is amazing. Cristal clear image with no distortion on the sides. Do not try to compare it to cheap 7x50 binos.Bottom line, one of the best value for the money.

Purchase went smooth. I did some research and tried out a few binoculars here at home but wanted newer and lighter for a trip. They are good quality, super nice and comfy for my hands & face. 7 x 50 is perfect for me!!

Good
