 horrible quality September 7, 2008

My 8 year old son got this product as a present from a friend for his birthday. While they look very impressive at a first glance, I have never seen and could not have imagined that binoculars can be as bad in both material quality and construction design. We've owned this for less than a day and the plastic frame has already got two small cracks in it - even though they have not been dropped and were handled VERY carefully. This is the worst quality plastic normally reserved for cheap chinese toys. Furthermore, both eyepieces are fixed via a loose screw in the middle and their wobble disrupts focus first and collinearity second. No adjustment of the screw helps since eyepieces are bigger diameter than the tubes they're fit on anyways. The focus adjustment is not smooth and when I try to adjust the single eyepiece focus, the eyepiece just unscrews and falls out.
Bacically, DON'T EVER BUY THESE BINOCULARS!!! They're not a bargain but a waste of your money.

I knew going into Walgreens that these were not going to be the best quality, so I don't feel to bad that I only spent $9.99 on them. Vivitar is not know for any great quality. They work fine for just general viewing during the day and evening. The quality is subpar. They are hard to focus since the focus adjustment seems to stick and they use plastic parts on them. The carry strap is so cheap that it was frayed on the ends and the strap keepers do not work. I like the pouch and the feel of the optics. These are fine to keep in your car, tool box, take to a ball game etc...If you dont care about price or if they get banged around, these are for you.
Truly educational, but not in the way they intended November 22, 2007

Oh man, these are trash. I picked up a pair at the local drugstore on a radical discount, just to see. They were so far out of alignment that even when I could get the images to merge, convex objects looked concave. Guaranteed to induce headaches. Then there's the mushy focusing, and the chromatic aberration on bright objects. Finally, the view is noticeably dimmer than in my 7x35s, which shouldn't happen with double the light-gathering area on the objective lenses (pi*35*35=3846 square mm; pi*50*50=7850 square mm). My guess is that the manufacturer should have passed on the "UV coating" and added some coatings to enhance light transmission, like you find on decent binoculars. If they'd done that, though, these would sell for more than the cost of a movie ticket (hint: don't pay any more than that for them!).
So I disassembled one side. Now I have a 7x50 monocular with all of the problems listed above except the misalignment, plus a cheap eyepiece for my travel telescope, two cool prisms to play with, and one lousy lens that I have no idea what to do with. So as a bag of parts to tinker with, this was a good buy *at the ridiculous discount I got*, but at anything more than that, or as a functional piece of optics that you can use for more than two minutes without getting a migraine, these should be avoided.
excellent bargain October 10, 2007
