SkyGenius 10 x 50 Binoculars for Adults Full-Size, Binoculars for Bird Watching Sightseeing Wildlife Watching with Low Light Night Vision

Just use them to watch deer when i’m in the garage. Very clear!

Very good item. Planning to take on alaska trip. Wish they were a little smaller but overall quality is fantastic!

Really good quality at a very reasonable price.

I had to send the 1st pair back because i couldn’t get them to focus properly. I received my second pair the day after i returned my first pair.
These worked just fine. Great customer service

Good optics, lens covers attached. Hard to find a better binoculars at this price point.

It go long distance !

Purchased these for the shooting range and they work great

Bought for our grandsons football games. My husband loves them!

My wife and i do a lot of camping, and over the years we’ve had to share my bushnell 10 x 50 binoculars. I’ve wanted a second pair for a long time, but the sporting goods catalogs i get always want more than $100 for this size and quality. We were very pleased with the battery-operated fans we got from sky genius so decided to try their binoculars too.
The binoculars came well-packaged, the first place i check if a company is trying to go cheap. Boxed and secured in an air-filled outer wrapping, they were undamaged in transit. Amazon delivered the at night, so i quickly took a look around my neighborhood and was surprised i could clearly see a small porch light burning two blocks away and see what it illuminated.
In the daylight, i did a side-by-side comparison with my older bushnells. Both binoculars weighted about 1.1 pounds, and each came with a case, strap and cleaning cloth. However, it has always annoyed me that the lens covers of my bushnells fall off inside the case (and sometimes on the floor of my truck) requiring me to hunt them down. The sky genius large lens caps are attached! The eyepiece covers are joined together making them easier to keep track of. The bushnell strap seemed a bit wider, and the instructions for attaching the sky genius strap are printed with poor definition. It took a strong lamp for me to make out the black-on-black murky photos. Okay, a very minor quibble.
I’ve read the other amazon reviews so i won’t repeat the points they make. Using both sets of binoculars in the rain, i thought the sky genius ones produced a clear, sharper image. The image amplification was about the same. Their stated statistics are similar in the accompanying photo.
I always take off my eyeglasses to use binoculars because i get a wider field of view. This time, i turned down the eye cups and compared the two sets. That’s were sky genius blew me away. The image using my eyeglasses was every bit as wide and clear as when i took my eyeglasses off and pressed the eyes to the cups. By contrast, my old bushnells presented two small circles with a gap between them. I tried several adjustments but could not get the bushnell binoculars to equal the sky genius image. Now i can enjoy and option about how to look through binoculars.
I waited a long time to find reasonably-priced 10×50 binoculars that could match my bushnells but instead i got something better.

I liked all of it , great deal

They were perfect for my vacation, made sight seeing so adventurous!

Used these for a trip to spot wildlife. Worked well but wish they had a strap on the actual binoculars, not just the case.

To be transparent, skygenius ltd gave me this pair of binoculars for an honest review to help improve their product if necessary.

These re a really nice pair of binoculars and seem pretty rugged.
The lenses are very clear even at night time with low light.
These are not ‘night vision’ they are ‘low light’ and does a pretty good job at it with clarity.

I did find 2 issues though, and skygenius ltd wanted me to be honest and critical.

#1 – instructions are great and clear until you get to the images setting up the neck strap. The pictures are so dark, you can’t see whats going on in the picture.

#2 – sliding the neck strap through the loop on the binoculars.
I had difficulty because the loop is too tight of a fit, even doubling over the strap to force through.
When it goes through the loop, it hits the actual rubber of the binocular housing.
I had to use a dental pick to pull it through.

Even if you tapered the end of the strap, you would run into the same problem of hitting the other side of the housing rubber stopping it going through.
To me, should be easier process.

But its not a major flaw, just something that needs tweaking as it would be frustrating out in the field for removal and reinstalling the strap

#3 this is kind of a really big flaw for me. The carry pouch strap is way too short!!!!!

Extending the strap to its max adjustment, the strap when used on my side like a purse, comes to my bicep and not worthy of using it that way.

I think it should be up to the user for personal adjustment. As it is now, i can only wear it on my chest.
I have a 52′ chest, but i feel it should be longer.

Overall, i think this a quality product and a great value for the money

i thank skygenius ltd for the opportunity to give the binoculars an honest review and i hope my review helps with a buyers purchase decision.

I’ve had these about a year and a half and have really enjoyed them, even used on occasion to take pictures with my smartphone through them (not optimal!! But in a pinch!)

this morning heading out for my morning walk, they slipped out of my hand and landed on the street, not hard or fast, or from more than a foot up as they glanced off my foot. Still, it caught the edge of the large lens and when i went to look through them, completely misaligned! Body probably made of somewhat thin aluminum.

Really unfortunate because drops and bumps are known to happen. Just glad i was able to enjoy them for awhile before this happened.

Will look for a spotting scope or camera with telephoto lens to replace and better photo results when opportunity comes up.

Edit – glad i didn’t throw these away. The large lens it hit on had a tiny, wedge shaped gap where the large lens meets the body and why i figured they’d bent. I tried tapping it back into square with no effect. Wondered if i could screw the lens off and maybe try something else to square the body. Didn’t see any way without damage so screwed the lens back on and it sat snug. Apparently the drop caused the narrow and shallow threads to skip a gap or two. Returned a star to the rating.

I am very impressed with the optical quality of these binoculars at this price point.

Update: i’ve bumped my rating from 2 to 4 stars, primarily because of the fantastic customer service provided by this company. After reading my initial review, these fine folks refunded the purchase price for the second pair i bought; they truly stand behind their product. Though the construction issue i highlighted still remains, these binoculars cannot be beat for the price.

I bought these binoculars a few months back for a trip to hawaii. Over the two weeks i was there, they performed flawlessly while hiking and boating; great magnification and amazing clarity. Taking one last gaze through them off the hotel balcony, i packed them in my carry-on luggage for the return trip home; on arrival, i unpacked them (still in their case) and put them in the closet.

Fast forward 4 months…i pulled them from the closet shelf for a little moon-gazing and found the damage shown in the photos?!?

After a little disassembly, i found that these binoculars have the objective lenses and prisms housed in a sturdy, rubberized body that is truly durable. Unfortunately, they rely on the flimsiest piece of brittle plastic to keep the eyepiece lenses aligned. After looking over the damage, i can only surmise that while in my carry-on (in their soft-sided case), they were subjected to some shock that caused the eyepiece to shift slightly and crack the plastic (i know now that it wouldn’t take much). I’m truly stunned that an otherwise great pair of binoculars would rely on such insubstantial and fragile plastic for arguably the most important piece of the mechanism.

I’ve just purchased another pair because they truly are great binoculars for the price…but beware of how you handle them, particularly when packing for a trip ; )

Bought these in july for an august trip to africa. They arrived after a few days. They seemed fine when we opened the packaging and gave them a ‘test look’. After that, i carefully packed them into a specialized padded camera backpack which i carried all of my expensive camera and video gear. This bag never was checked as luggage for obvious safety reasons and never left my side. I used them once after arriving in cape town…in the hotel room looking up to table mountain and repacked them into the camera bag. The next time i took them out of the camera bag was on our second
safari. My wife used them for about 10-15 minutes and then mentioned she was starting to have problems focusing the
binoculars. When i looked at them i noticed only one eyepiece would focus in and out as you rotated the focus adjustment. Closer observation showed that the bracket that controlled both eyepieces had broken and now only one side of the binoculars would focus leaving them basically useless for the rest of the trip ( 2 more weeks). I packed them up and carried them the next few weeks until we got home to the us. I then found out that i was past the date that amazon would allow me to return/exchange them. I feel really disappointed with this purchase considering we could not use them on the safaris they were intended for. Please be aware that some of the important moving parts appear to be plastic and will break easily under normal use.

Update 10/14/18
sky genius contacted me about the defective binoculars and offered to replace them with the same model or i could choose another model. I decided to choose a more compact design(less moving parts). While i haven’t had a chance to use them much, they appear to be solidly built and the vision very clear. Thank you for going the extra mile to make this right.

These binoculars work as well as i expected for the price, which is a good thing. I got these for looking at the views from my home, primarily for our kids but for us adults, too. Because the kids would be using them, i didn’t want to spend a bunch of money. Binoculars at this price and in this size can be a little clunky, but these work great and are easy to use in terms of focus and eye fit. But what impressed me the most is the customer service – the first pair that was delivered appeared to be dysfunctional in that we could not get the two eyepieces to merge into one circular field of view. Upon reaching out to the company, they made it very easy and replaced them with no issues at all. The second pair arrived and they worked great. Things happen – sometimes things don’t work – but the fact that their customer service was so good and the replacement unit worked as advertised, i recommend buying these from this company if you’re looking for a good value for some binoculars!

The first sample came in without any company packaging. One of the cylinders for the eye was bent,but not from being bumped…it was incorrectly screwed into place!…it was pretty clear that these were seconds and whoever sent these out should not have a job!
The replacements were perfect and really good.these came with completely different and correct packaging.
As though whomever sent them knew the first pair reeked.
Buyer beware….you should get a box that says ‘sky genious’ and sealed plastic inside,along with the cloth case……i ‘d have given the new/replaced binoculars 5 stars,because for the money,they are superb.

These field glasses are fine, i can see a few acres away with these. They are nice binocs and we watch birds, deer, etc but don’t purchase them if you are hoping to use them for ‘night’ vision. However, no version of night vision. Maybe late afternoon vision? Haha
