Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Binoculars
I purchased it because it was quite inexpensive and might be useful to just have around the house. The price is just right for the quality. This binocular is practically worthless for any serious purpose. It is cheaply built, the control is awkward and ineffective, and the view is like looking through a tunnel. The magnification is negligible for birdwatching or any other useful purpose. I consider it junk. I have a Nikon binocular which is almost infinitely superior. The only reservation I have is that my binocular does not bear the name Magnacraft, although it is the one I purchased on eBay. It is named Jeep, and there is an inscription of ChryslerLLC 2009. I advised the vendor to not sell it.
This is supposed to be a 5x30 set of binoculars. As I understand it, the "5x" means it should magnify at 5x normal vision, when the actual magnification is more like 1.5 - ie, a little bigger than normal, but not much. That said, the optics are decent given how inexpensive it was - you can get a nice clear image. However, they really shouldn't call it "5x" when it isn't.
I purchased these binoculars for my grandchildren and when I tried them out. I found them to be excellent for children and teens. The view is good,good size for small hands and to take on field trips. The price was also reasonable under $5.00 and the joy that see on the young people face make this an excellent choice.
These are great little binoculars. Just the right size to keep a pair in the car in case you spy some wild life you want to check on. It would be nice to have two pair really. I keep one set in the house as I enjoy watching the birds in the yard - makes it easier to identify them too. They are also small enough in size to take to a sporting event.
compact size, with case don't like that magnification isn't that strong Bought it for my two nephews who love hunting and thought the compact size would be great for them to take along with them. They were happy to receive them but mentioned the poor magnification. Other than that, they are great.
