Good build quality, they didn't seem as heavy as I thought and had read.

It's good to get a tripod because at high zoom it's difficult to keep it steady.

These are the first expensive binoculars I've bought, I haven't felt much of a difference from the cheaper binoculars of 40-50€ that I've tried but they are definitely much better.

Amazing binoculars. Within a minute, you do the initial adjustment in both eyes and then easily focus with the central wheel. For observing birds at 300-500 meters, they are impressively good - despite the relative shaking, due to magnification only. For observing larger birds at 100 meters (falcons, ducks, etc.), you simply get enchanted by the beauty of the details that these binoculars offer. You see objects with clarity and there is no blurring at the periphery. They also come with a tripod adapter in the packaging. A tripod is necessary to limit the shaking when observing stationary objects and you don't want to miss any details. I have achieved very good results with a cheap tripod.

For observing stationary objects: the secret is to learn to look with the binoculars on the tripod WITHOUT touching the binoculars or the tripod. If you don't touch the binoculars or tripod at all, you have a stable image and can see an ant from 30 meters away. If you touch - even slightly - the binoculars with your eyes, there will be shaking. You just need to learn to look without coming into contact with the binoculars at all.

For observing a falcon in motion, things are different. Without a tripod, the result is amazing because the tremor - which exists when observing stationary objects/birds, due to magnification - is almost neutralized with the small movements you make to stay on the object. I observed the falcon from a distance of 200 meters and didn't lose sight of it at all.

For observing stationary objects at distances of a few hundred meters, for observing boats, aircraft, islands, etc. - simply exceptional!

10 stars from me.

I bought the binoculars from the planetarium in Thessaloniki, but in my first contact with them, I found out that the focusing was unacceptable with double images. After communicating with the store, they replaced them for me, but unfortunately, the problem existed with the new ones as well, so I didn't bother dealing with them again because of my frustration.

For the money, it's perfect. It's much more suitable for stargazing, although it also works well on the ground. The use of a tripod is recommended due to high magnification.
