Bought this for my dad who has wet macular degener
I purchased this item for my father who has wet macular degeneration. He is blind in one eye and had previously been using binoculars to see the channel listings on the tv when changing channels. The monocle is much better for this-its smaller and easier to handle. He also uses it to look out the window to see if the mail has been delivered since the mailbox is across the street. My mom told me he's been using it in the car when she drives and he can now read street signs in the distantance and help her navigate. This was certainly worth the money!

My favorite for my Subarus
My favorite for my Subarus. I use them in a 2012 Forester and a 2014 Crosstrek with Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20.

A Lot of Quality for What You Pay
After using this camera strap I find it hard to believe that other similar straps cost 3-4 times as much! How can they sell them? The material feels durable. There is a handy zipper pocket on the shoulder pad. The safety lanyard is sturdy, well designed and easy to clip on and off.I am a birder and somewhat reluctantly added a camera to my gear. I wear my binoculars on a harness for comfort, which makes it tricky to hang anything else from my shoulders. The Waka Camera Strap can be adjusted to be long enough that the camera hangs at the level of my right hand. I can grab the camera and bring it up to my eye with minimum interference from the bins. Quick and easy and very comfortable!

The Oufabe binocular strap is just what I was look
My binoculars are nearly 60 years young and still looking and working perfectly. However, the strap that holds them around my neck is dodgy at best and right at its end of life. Hence my need for a new strap that I can feel secure with while they’re around my neck. The Oufabe strap looked like just what I was looking for. As you can see in the photos everything fits together quite easily and allows for either a male or female to wear this strap with comfort.The upper body strap mount and elastic aspect is a very nice touch, and totally takes the strain of my 3.5 lb binoculars off my neck. Overall for under $25 delivered I think this strap is quite a good deal and well worth the purchase. Having said that, my critique is as follows.The included instructional insert directions could be a bit more clear (see photo). For reference I found the Amazon ad pics to be much more descriptive and helpful. A minor point but something I felt I should mention. The other issue are the two leather strap connectors. Thought they work quite well once you have them in place, I question how long they’re going to last. They are quite thin and worry me just a bit that they could rip or tear down the road, sooner rather than later. I think something more indestructible like a braided nylon connector for example would feel a whole lot more secure. Mind you that’s just my own gut feeling and there is no indication that these straps will be failing anytime soon.

Amazing views, amazing value!
TL;DR version: Amazing views, amazing value!Let me preface this review by admitting I may not be the ideal binocular user. My eyes cross easily (or focus on close objects easily), but are slow to recover from it. When eyepieces get near my eyes, they water. Since receiving them I learned that when I'm tired, I have an even tougher time merging the images from each eye when looking through binoculars, and it's even more difficult to get the focus set right.After some serious research on my part, my wife purchased three sets of binoculars (for less than a hundred dollars total!) for me and the kids:Celestron SkyMaster Giant 15x70Celestron Cometron 7x50Celestron UpClose G2 8x21As a plus, I was able to compare the views in all three to figure out whether any issues were due to the hardware or my wetware. See the attached side-by-side photo for a size comparison and my reviews on the other two items for more detail.- - - -My SkyMaster Giant 15x70 came in a large, plain, double-thick cardboard box that fit perfectly around the "retail box" with the Celestron logo and pretty background and such. Inside the box is a plastic-wrapped, soft carrying case with a bit of the squishy pink foam around the eyepieces, and inside the bag are the plastic-wrapped binoculars, with more pink foam surrounding the tripod adapter. I'm planning on handholding these and don't have any interest in the adapter, so I have no comment on it.Having limited experience with astronomy, I was a little concerned that things wouldn't look as bright through these as they would through the 7x50s, since the exit pupil isn't as large (50/7 versus 70/15). This is not so. Everything is brighter through these, to the point where I'm almost afraid to look at the Moon for fear of hurting my eyes from the brightness. I'm not sure if this is due to the larger objective lenses or the BaK-4 prisms in these versus the BK7s in the 7x50s, but after looking through these, I honestly don't know if I can be satisfied with lower magnification or smaller objective lenses.A bit about handholding these things: I'm tall, but let's just say I won't be spontaneously entering any weightlifting competitions anytime soon. Muscle shirts are loose around my arms. I lift my kids and the occasional heavy item, but I haven't seen the inside of a gym for, oh, a solid decade now. You get the idea. But even so, I had little trouble handholding these. With my elbows braced on top of my backyard privacy fence (as I said, I'm tall), I saw the four Galilean moons lined up in a perfect little row around Jupiter. Lying flat on my back, I had excellent views of the Pleiades, though the sky wasn't super clear so the Andromeda Galaxy was disappointingly faint. With my elbows pinched inward and resting on my torso, the Orion Nebula looked incredible.Yeah, my arms got tired, but the awesome thing about backyard stargazing with binoculars is that there's no set up at all. I get tired, I go inside for a little bit and study the sky (I use the awesome free and open source software called Stellarium), and try to pick my next targets.They looked amazing most of the time, but at the very end of my viewing sessions some 3+ hours later, I had trouble with some blurriness and double vision. The collimation may be slightly off on these, or maybe my arms were too tired, or, like I said, my visual wetware is just not ideal for binoculars. Not sure, but I enjoyed them so much before that, so I can't knock off a star for what might just be me being tired.In short, I'm very, very pleased with these binoculars. I can't wait for clear skies again.

Great purchase for your little explorer
Me and my adventure loving kids enjoy using this mini scope. My son loves bird watching and we bought this for a reason. The view is magnified and it is clearer than any scope we have at home. Also it is very affordable, very compact easy to carry and very light. Perfect for kids and grown ups too. We will be going to the science museum and my kids already included it in their packs. It's the one I've been looking for because my kids have hard time using the binoculars adjusting it and all, this one is just very easy for them. They take it everywhere! Worth your money.

A pleasure to use.
My husband and I have a larger back yard with several feeders and large flower gardens. Once Spring comes and it is warm enough we sit on our patio watching them feed. We have a large (older) set of binoculars and they are heavy to hold for long. When I saw these advertised I bought them for my husband for Xmas. Heused them immediately and pronounced them worthy. So lightweight and easy to use and they adjust easily. We have not tried them at night. Can't wait for summer so we can get back outside and enjoy them. Very happy with this product.
