CenterPoint P1 Series 8x42mm Compact Binoculars, Black, Assembled Product Weight 1 lbs.

From what we read about Binoculars for bird watching these are a great purchase. We will be going to Yellowstone and wanted Binoculars that would be good for everyone in the family to use.

Really good binoculars for the price point.

PROS- Great Value. These are recommended magnification and lens diameter for birdwatching. High end brands are pretty steep especially if you're not sure you are going to use them a lot. They get plenty of use looking outside from the window to the backyard at the many birds . Took them on a bird walk once and they did not disappoint. They are easy to focus if you follow the directions. You get a high quality very crisp detailed close up of your target. They are compact and light. CONS- This is just being picky. For being <$30 you really can't go wrong. But, The neck strap is very thin like a shoe lace and there is no directions to change them. I suppose you could figure something out if you wanted to adapt them for a more comfortable neck strap. It was cold the day I went on the walk so I had a heavy collared shirt on and put the straps under the collar. In warmer weather with just a T-shirt they may Be uncomfortable. The eye cups are a little shallow. Didn't have too much issue with them.

Great budget binoculars made of a nice hefty material, in the box you'll get the binoculars, a carrying case, cleansing wipe and the instructions. Focusing is nice and easy, and everything comes in clear. My only complaints would be the carrying case and the strap to the binoculars, the carrying case is a little flimsy when on your belt and you're not able to adjust the strap so the binoculars end up hanging lower than I'd like them to. Overall though I am satisfied with the price point and would recommend for anyone looking for a cheap pair.

For the price, these are fine. The focus has no slop in it, and I the close focus distance is almost exactly 15 feet as advertised - there are some reviews that say it's more like 50 feet, but I was going to return them if it was even 20 feet, as I use them for bird watching.

They're kinda heavy for older arms and when I use them it seems like it takes forever to get the view in focus. By the time I do, what I want to see is gone. These are best for a fixed long distance view, but no good for back yard bird watching as far as I'm concerned.

nice set of binoculars for the money, however you will need to wear a dress belt into the field if you want to wear the case on your belt.

The product was fine. Only returning it since someone bought the same thing for my grandson's birthday.

Bought these for an upcoming cruise. Unfortunately, they arrived damaged. The focus ring on the left side doesn't work so it is impossible to get them into focus.

poor quality control...box had grammatical and factual errors. E.G.-closest focus was more like 50' than the 10' stated.
