usogood Binoculars for Adults with BaK-4 Prisms & FMC Lens

An excellent pair of quality binoculars. These are clear and easy to focus, I particularly like the setting to use when wearing glasses, very helpful. They are lightweight and easy to hold, my 2 young children have been using them with ease. They come in a handy protective carry case and the lens caps are attached, stopping them from being misplaced. These binoculars are a good size, great value for money and delivery was extremely quick. Highly recommended.

This is the second Usogood product I’ve bought and once again I’m delighted with the quality and service. These binoculars are very light and have excellent clarity. Perfect for wildlife recording. Really comfy to wear and the case is robust enough despite being lightweight. Very easy to adjust the strap and a good size to fit into my bag when I’m not using them. Highly recommended.

I received this item quickly and efficiently. I was delighted to see the Binoculars arrived with a sturdy carry bag with shoulder strap. There is also a belt loop on the back of the case for attaching to a belt or webbing straps of a rucksack There is also a neck strap which is to hang item round neck without need to use protective shoulder bag. It can also be used to connect the eyepiece protectors. This prevent you from losing them and makes it easy to deploy the Binoculars quickly and without fuss. The manual was clear and showed how to set up the Binoculars for effective focus etc. I was impressed how sturdy the Binoculars are and yet amazingly light and easy to hold. The clarity of the lenses is exceptionally good. I was pleased with how quickly I was able to change from distant to close up views. I watched a Buzzard soar over woods in the distance and switched to a Blue tit on my feeder in a heartbeat. I’m impressed and would recommend these Binoculars without reservation.

I’ve had these for about a week now and used them in a variety of lighting and weather conditions. Mostly wintery because it’s the UK and it’s June.

They’re a very capable pair of binoculars. I compared them directly with my pair of (as new) 10×50 traditional porro prism bionculars (dating to c.1980; only a Boots Pacer branded pair but absolutely superb). This pair of USOGOOD are roof prism binoculars and state they’re 12×50. The roof prisms allow them a much more compact and lightweight design but a slight difference in the image is to be expected.

Having compared them both I have to say I’m really quite impressed:

Pros:
– Lightweight (exactly half the weight of my traditional porro prism bins) weighing in at 525g (including strap). This makes them much easier to keep steady and get a stable image.
– Compact design; easier to carry and store in backpack or car.
– Good protection afforded by rubberised coating.
– Integrated lens covers. Love these; the main lens covers flip down and remain attached to the binocular’s body so can’t be lost. The eyepiece lens cap is in a single piece and can be threaded through the strap which also means it can’t be lost.
– Good clear image. Nice and bright and good colours. Nice wide image field. I was very pleasantly suprised at how good the image was given the price-point.

Cons
– They’re not porro prisms. Despite the nice, clear, bright image, roof prism binoculars do not deliver the same quality of image as porro prisms. But this is being really picky and if I had not constantly switched between the two I would have said they were as good as each other. To give you an idea; if the porro prisms were 100% image quality, these must be 98-99%. The drop is that small.

I have reviewed these on the basis that they’re roof prisms binoculars and, as such, are well worthy of the 5* awarded. If reviewing based purely on “binoculars” I’d have awarded 4* becasue they can’t beat porro prism binoculars, but then they really do make up for some of that in their weight, design, and practicality. These are a great buy and you won’t be disappointed.
