Look, at 70 bucks, you're not gonna find a better pair of binos. I compared these to a set of Steiners (albeit, w/26mm obj. lenses) and the image was better--crisp, bright, edge-to-edge, absolutely spot-on color and contrast with no fringing in daylight. The exit pupil is a hefty 5.2mm so you get none of the barrel shadowing typical with smaller exits. Eye relief is 17mm; could be better, but it's good enough. And I have the smallest pupil distance on anyone I know (yeah, freak of nature), and these bad boys close up enough for me to center the image--my roof-prism Bushnells wouldn't. You can tripod mount these as well as it has the 1/4 inch 20tpi standard thread on the front hinge. Funny, they don't mention that in their ad. You'll need a thin adapter, though, as the barrels squeeze together pretty tight. For hiking and birding you'll want these 8x (skip the 10x--too much of a good thing, and in the woods, pretty much useless anyway) since they give you more light, wider views, more eye relief, and better image. One last word: I had occasion to talk with customer service about a small glitch--there was a REAL person on the line after the third ring, he was helpful and courteous, and I got the problem staightened out with one call--that's gotta be worth somethin'.

I am returning these binoculars. I purchased as a pair of no-worry, inexpensive, semi-compact binoculars for travel/birding, but the optics are inadequate, even for the price. They *are* inexpensive, compact, light, and feel ok in the hand. I would not recommend for birding, but they might be OK for bright fast-action recreation like watching football.
The view is dim, not sharp no matter how much you play with the focus, has poor color fidelity (wood decking looks purple-grey, not redwood-color; foliage looks significantly greyer), and has clear pincushion effect (distortion at edges) and fringing /color aberration. The focus knob is not quick to focus.
If you know much about optics or are particular and visually-perceptive, don't get these binocs...you will be disappointed. Slightly more expensive models on the market are incomparably brighter, sharper, and easier to focus.
