Adorrgon 12x42 HD Binoculars for Adults High Powered with Phone Adapter, Tripod and Tripod Adapter - Large View Binoculars with Clear Low Light Vision - Binocular for Bird Watching Cruise Travel

For the money, good luck in finding anything better. In fact, I’ve got a normal sized telescope that is fairly new, and these binoculars are a joy to look through! The image is sharp and clean; the unit itself is as solid as you’d want it to be. You won’t have any complaints for the price! The case is absolutely perfect; not cheap at all and comes with a nice carry strap. I also received the attachment for my cell phone that allows me to take pictures through the binoculars. The attachment is also sturdy and well-built. It is adjustable to the size of your phone and you’re ready to take some pretty good pictures of objects that are miles away….and then you still get to expand the image on your phone to view objects that I cannot see with my own eyes. Amazing, truly amazing! Note: For the money, good luck in finding anything better. In fact, I’ve got a normal sized telescope that is fairly new, and these binoculars are a joy to look through!

Received today, quick delivery. Light, comfortable and affordable. Image quality is great. For $40 something dollars you won't find anything comparable. I'm very pleased with the purchase. You will be too . Enjoy ! The reviews here can also be very entertaining. One guy said he uses them as a microscope OMG..

TL;DR: Great binoculars for the price. The phone mount and tripod system are pretty cheap and have limited utility, which is why I give this a 4/5 instead of a 5/5. Longer version: I bought these to bring with me when I go rock climbing so that I can scope out different routes from the ground, and they work great for this use case. I was worried that these might not work for looking at things that are pretty close, but the minimum focal distance I can measure is 9-10 ft (~3 meters). It is quite easy for me to focus on mountains at distances of 10-40 miles (15-65 km), but I can't focus well on stars. Of course, binoculars aren't meant to look up at the sky - that is what telescopes are for. For the price, these are a fantastic piece of equipment. However, the phone mount and tripod are cheaply made, and I could not recommend this set for someone who plans to spend a lot of time taking pictures through the device. The setup just isn't very stable and causes issues where the phone shakes and then struggles to focus properly. It could be OK for more static applications. For example, if you wanted to set this up as a video motion detection rig with a smartphone, I think that could work fine since things won't be moving much. As a bonus: you can flip the binoculars around and turn them into a microscope. I am able to easily focus on individual pixels on a computer screen, and a few dozen pixels on a phone screen. Focal distance/range: 9 ft - 40 miles (3m - 65 km) Size: about the size of an average adult male hand with fingers outstretched. Ocular lens separation: 55 mm (2.2 inches) when close together, 76 mm (3 inches) when far apart. This should be fine for basically all adults and most children. "The average pupillary distance of a typical adult ranges from 54 to 74 mm without much difference between the average female and male PD. A child's distance ranges from 43 to 58 mm." Alternatives: If someone wants something smaller, Amazon has binoculars than can fit in pants pockets quite easily. If you want to collect brighter images (ie, view in low-light scenarios), you'll want something with a larger diameter lens and/or something with lower magnification. These objective lenses (the big lenses on the end) are 42 mm in diameter (hence the "12x42" description). If you need a pair that focuses to shorter distances, get something with a lower magnification (this has 12x magnification). If you have shaky hands, lower magnification is recommended because they will have a wider "field of view". If you don't want to take pictures with your phone, you could probably save a few bucks by buying some binoculars without the accessories. I hope this review helps potential buyers!

I did buy this binoculars Adorrgon 12x42 as an improvement of my Nikon ACULON 10x25, and yes! what an improvement!!! My 11 year old uses it all the time we go to the park to spot birds, and now this is our new family hobby :). At the beginning I was scare it will feel dizzy or will be too heavy for a kid, but not at all, it is very easy to use, not dizzy nor heavy, and the image is sharp to see even little bird details. I really like the front and back protectors, they stay in the binoculars while in use and I can get them on and off easily (as comparing with my Nikon, already lost them because there was no way to attach them while in use). The strap that goes on your neck is very soft and comfortable, something else to love about it! (my Nikon strap next in the pic is not as soft). It also comes with a nice bag and cleaning cloth (very useful for kids prints!) I have to say, during this self-distance times, it has been a life saver for our family, we pass many hours together, walking and observing nature in the park. There is nothing that compares the happiness of a kid founding a nice bird all by themselves. I truthfully strongly recommended it. I will just add that to be extra secure, cause my kid uses all the time, I folded and sew the tip end of the strap (as in the picture) and voila! I let my kid run with it to his heart desires! :0) I can't wait to get the phone adapter! I will post pics as soon as I get it!

Put succinctly, I am blown away by the quality and value of these binoculars. They come shipped in very professional packaging and include a carrying case, lens covers, cleaning cloth, and neck strap - everything you need to go right into the field. This turned out to be a very thing as they arrived just in time to take out for an afternoon hunt. I pulled them right out of the box up in my tree stand and they worked like a charm. Very simple to get initially focused, only took a few minutes of tweaking. Carried them around my neck for the entirety of the next day with plenty of bumps, nudges, and tree limbs along the way and they still retained focus each time I put them to my eyes. For the price point, the glass is amazing - picture is remarkably clear and the magnification is more than sufficient for most any task (I believe the power to be as advertised, definitely stronger than my 9x scope I had with me). The large objective sense most definitely helps during the dusk and dawn low light situations. I find the view through these binos top be comparable to some of the much more expensive brands I've owned, just at half the price! This product has far exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone from the budget conscious to the most high end "gear-guy."

These are fantastic. The perfect size to take on a hike. Comes with some good extras that make it fun to use. Very satisfied.

Binoculars themselves are great but phone adapter (which is one main reason I purchased to take pictures) is absolutely infuriating. Does not function very well. If I figure out I’m doing something wrong I can come back and edit but I think it’s just not that great.

I dont know a great deal about binoculars, but decided to buy my mother a “good” set since she moved to Florida and started to casually take up bird watching. Wanting to go with a reputable brand and after a few hours of research and reading, i went with Vortex Diamondbacks and had them delivered to her home. Since i was taking a trip to visit, i found these for $25 and figured I’d buy them just to see what the extra money actually got her since the style, size, and descriptions are almost identical. There is a clear difference when you compare the imagines switching back and forth. THAT SAID - the difference the extra $225 made is not nearly as large as you’d expect. Its the Ultra fine details, the edges, and sharpness/clarity of the objects at distance that are noticeable. I honestly expected to be blown away how much better the Vortex was - but i wasnt. You’d really have to be an optics guy to appreciate the small difference in image quality. I mean the difference is there, but its a very small difference. I’m CERTAIN the Vortex is a “better” binocular, not to mention the support you get from a good brand that will stand behind a product they warranty without question. They simply feel better too as soon as you pick them up - but these two brands are extremely similar in feel, style and features. Meaning, for 90% - 95% of people these would be just as good as the Vortex unless you’re REALLY willing to spend a lot more money for not much difference. So if you are an average person thats looking to buy a set “just to have them”, to bring to a football game, to enjoy yourself outdoors, try your hand at birdwatching, ect - I wouldn’t hesitate buying these. If there is any chance of them getting lost, stolen, broken, or generally beat up - dont spend the extra money. If you decide later that you wanna buy something better, than consider these as your insurance in a backup pair, or a second set to lend to a friend. You really, really cant complain about what you get for the money. The case is garbage compared to a vortex, its just a basic pouch - but it serves its purpose. These even come with lens covers - just like the Vortex - (they dont fit as well) but buying those alone separately would probably cost $10. As far as bang for your buck - from an average guys opinion, i cant see a better option than this. If i were to try to set a scale comparing them against the Vortex Diamondbacks, if the Diamondbacks were a 10 - these would be a 8.5 in an overall comparison (not just clarity). I can only imagine the difference between these and say the Vortex Crossfire’s (one step below the Diamondbacks) would be even smaller. When it comes to things like this, just like rifle scopes, small differences come at a big expense, and I imagine a large chuck of the cost for a pair of binoculars from a place like Vortex is to cover the costs of a large company and their marketing - which these dont have to pay for. At the price, (esp at the $25 i paid) you have absolutely nothing to lose. If you already have a good set, and just want a second pair - buy these. You’ll be amazed at how good these are for the money. Lastly - for those who dont know what the number mean - (10x40) (12x50) - the first number is the power of the magnification (10 times closer, 12 times closer) and the second is the size larger lens (how big of an area it will allow you to see when you look through). For bird watching, experts claim the ideal sizes are either 10x42 or 12x42.. you dont want something extremely powerful, but you want something with a larger lens so its easier to find what your looking for, and keep looking at it while it’s moving (like a bird, obviously, or even a football game, Anything that can be moving at speed). A size 50 lens is physically a bigger (And would give you a larger picture) but are a larger heavier set of binoculars - so the 42 lens is a great compromise. For a easy way to think of it - to give people a rough idea, say a 12x20 you would be able to see a large bird at distance, but he may take up the entire “screen” (for lack of a better word) as you looked through those binoculars - where with a 12x45 set you would see the same bird just as large - but you’d also be able to see a large area around him. So Its easier to find him, and if he moves you can easily follow him and also see whats around him. There is not a huge difference between a 10x or 12x set of binoculars, so dont go crazy like i did. (I ordered and canceled 3 times before i finally picked what size on the Vortex). But if you were on the fence trying to decide if these were worth your money - Yes, they are. You’ll be surprised and impressed what the money got you.
