📒100% Honest, Real Reviews, Advice & Opinions📒
I would like to make it completely clear that like all the reviews and advice that I give on the #BestBinoculars Reviews video channel and website, this is my honest and completely genuine opinion and I am in no way compensated to describe a binocular in a particular way or with a bias.
In other words, if I think a binocular or a feature on it is great, I will say so. If I think it is rubbish or it is weak in certain areas, I will also point them out.
Before writing and publishing any binocular review, I thoroughly research, test, and use the instrument in my office as well as out in the field. I also conduct comprehensive comparisons between the binocular under review with a number of benchmark binoculars in both good and bad light conditions. - Спорт

Very informative. Thanks for taking extra pain in focusing so many devices.
A very creative and well thought out video production. Loved the tripod setup, Cheers.
Thank you very much Robert. Much appreciated 👍
great detailed video, thank you!
You are welcome and many thanks for the comment
Would be interesting to see a comparison of them regarding sky gazing.
Thanks for the comment and Yes, you are already the second person to ask for this. It is on my to-do list
Nice video! I’d be grateful if you could also do the same video with the night sky. The moon, mars, jupiter, and saturn, nebulas, etc.
ooggh yes, great idea! I will definitely keep that in mind for a future episode, thanks!
Excellent video. As I am getting older, I am seriously considering Image Stabilized for handheld binoculars. It would be great if you can do a similar test for IS binoculars as it will help, not only which brand, but also which magnification would be optimal or point of diminishing return. For reference I currently have the Nikon M7 8x42 and love it. However, I really wanted a 10x42 or more mag but always felt that there is bit too much handshake for me to enjoy the image. So for me an ideal IS binocular will have the magnification from 12x or 15x.
I would like to do that too will see what I can organise
Came here to see if the Kite APC 16x42 would bring the objects too close compared to my 10 x42 binocular. As in, would it make the object harder to find and how dark would it be. Not sure I found the answer I wanted, but that was certainly not your fault. Amazing comparisons, thanks a lot.
HI! I would like to ask you for your opinion, since you have tried both, do you prefer the Fujinon Hyper Clarity 8x42 or the Kowa Genesis 8.5 x44?
Great video as always bro, recently i bought bresser condor 10x56 binoculars, but the design seems different than the 8x42 and 10x50 design being sold now. İs my pair from the previous generation of the condor series? Or i thought maybe it is a discontinued model? By the way i paid 290 dollars for them, do you think it is a great price for them?
🤔🧐🙄😕🥸
Someone should nominate you for a Nobel Prize
Do it 😜😜😜👍
12x?
Hello can anyone recommend which binos are good for indoor warehouse? Specifically for looking at numbers and letters on items that are on top shelfs 70 to 100ft high. Thanks
Can you please make a full review of Pentax PF 80 ED abd 100 ED Spotting scope,i will wait for that
I have a pair of Spyer 20X-144X70 binoculars that were my dad's. He passed away. I Do not know how to use them, want to sell them. How do I go about doing that??
Put them up on Ebay?
Wow! Do you own that Swarovski NL pure? Have you done a review of it?
No - I have it on loan from Swarovski - the full review is on the way - will be live soon - to keep a look out :-)
What do you think about the Sears binoculars that are 10-40 zoom 60 type unit ??? The video you showed us all is very detailed with a lot of good information for one to make a very good decision when getting eye helping devices. Hope you make more videos Sir.
Hi, I have not tried them so can't say, but in general and in my experience a low cost variable zoom binocular tends to have a poor image and you are often better gent a fixed magnification or go for a spotting scope instead. Here is why: www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/zoom-binoculars.php
Thank you for your help and advice Sir.@@Bestbinocularsreviews
Is SEARS still open? I thought they all closed down and don't remember them selling binoculars.
The pull apart binoculars were interesting, but how well were they collimated when putting back together?
Hi Ken - they are perfect every time - I think the low power helps with this, but even so the mechanism Pentax have come up with is simple, yet ingenious. One of my favourite fun devices - perfect for taking on a walk with the kids - makes it easier to share! Check out the review.
where was this video shot? if you are ever in the uk I would love you to review my 8-15x35 B Eschenbach Farlux Selector v binoculars, see what you make of SK15 glass.
I am in France.
According to me 8x40 is best combination for travelling birding etc
Yes, a good 8x40 makes for a nice configuration (light gathering vs size) - It is much harder to find these days - now usually an 8x42 is the most common.
Hello, thank you for these wonderful explanations. I have a question. I want binoculars to see the stars and planets. I want some advice from you. Thank you❤
Hello thanks for the comment and kind words,much appreciated. Have you taken a look at the binocular section on BBR yet: www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/astronomy/ it is a good place to start. Also take a lok at my guide on long range binoculars: www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/high-powered-long-distance-viewing-binoculars.php
De donde sacas tantos binoculares?...llamare al 911
Nikon Aculon 10-22×50 !!! 😁😸🥸👍😊
Can I clean Nikon Action Ex binocular ocular & objective lenses? I have Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% concentration. The steps are blowing the dirt off with a bulb air blower, then using penbrush to get excess grit/sand/debris off, soak some lens specific microfiber towel in isopropyl alcohol to get rid of fingerprints and grease then finally wipe of with dry microfiber towel after breathing on the lenses. What do you think?
What is on top off the cámara
Hi Fernando, it is the wireless receiver for my microphone, the other half was placed under the bird feeder 😀
You have not reviewed Kowa prominar spotting scope till now.
No unfortunately they do not send me their products :-(
@@Bestbinocularsreviews why?? Your channel is very good and you have reviewed all best brands binos too
I don't see any Bushnell reviews on this channel.
Hi, yes you are right - I have tried to get Bushnell to send me samples to test and review but have never had any luck and they don't get back to me, so that is the reason why.
@@Bestbinocularsreviews Thanks. I wanted to buy my wife a bino and could get a almost new, used Bushnell for a reasonable price and was looking for reviews. I then went to some local stores to see if they have the specific model in stock which they did. I did not tell them I am looking to buy a used one so they are not bias for or against Bushnell. The three stores I visited all told me that they don't have good experience with the Bushnell guarantee and would not recommend it. What I learned from them was that Leopold and Vector has a very good guarantee and actually honor it. At the end I bought a Vector Optics.
Yes I agree. With smaller companies and brands, I find that I often get a much better service than with larger "faceless" ones. Smaller optics companies are also often very happy to answer my questions, are open to advice and even change their products based on feedback.
You certainly have your very good reasons, but from the 'Best Binocular Reviews' channel, it is extremely disappointing that since IWA 2023, 3 months ago now, no one word, no one test, no one review about what can be considered among the best binoculars in the world, Swaro NL Pure !!!!
Personally, I've had these binoculars for a year and I know what to expect and their qualities... but it would have been interesting to have your point of view, and it must be very disappointing for many of your subscribers !!!
This is not serious from your channel !! 🤨
Like for Kamasutra!
3k for an 8x ?!! Bruhhhhg
