Bushnell Falcon 13-3450 10x50 Binocular

GOOD BINOCULAR

Strengths: CLEAR BRIGHT IMAGE

Weakness: no tripod

The big lens give you such a bright view! it is not a big problem without a tripod, but apparantly, it will be better with it. it is a fairly good all purpose binocular, i would like to recommend it to the biginners.

I am totally satisfied from...

Strengths: good

Weakness: nil

I am totally satisfied from quality and especially from price for that binocular.
Only one recommend I am willing to pay double price but for made in USA.
About made in China I will call you later.
Usually made in China is good only for one time use only. That is why I am only not satisfied from made in China.
Good luck.

I love this item because of its...

Strengths: This binocular is my first one and I do like it very much. It has good hand feelings and looks very reliable. The 50mm lens looks very professional. It is worthy every cent you spent.

Weakness: The bag looks cheap, not like the 16X50 one with leather bag offered by Bushnell. The focus is almost fixed, i.e., there is no much adjustments on focus. The lens are not fog-proofed.

I love this item because of its heavy-duty apperance, big lens, very affordable price, good hand-feelings. We shouldn't complain about the size because the big lens give you wide angle and crispy clear image. It is ideal for amateur user for bird and moon watching, music concert, or peeking. However, the lens are film-coated but not vapor-proof. The magnification is only ten times, not 16 or 20....

However, the lens are film-coated but not vapor-proof. The magnification is only ten times, not 16 or 20. The focus is almost fixed. The accessories like the bag, the rope, and the cleaning cloth are cheap-looking. However, how can you expect more for a 30-buck-around item?

For me, this pair are worth every...

Strengths: good optics, durable construction, easy focus and diopter adjustment,

Weakness: you call that a strap?

For me, this pair are worth every penny I paid. Man, I did not expect I get this much of binoculars for a little over $20. You can do a lot with it - bird viewing, sightseeing, even watching the moon ... A tripod is not essetial, since the 10x is OK for hand holding - the reason I did not go with 16x, or even 12x. Taking it to a concert might be too much, since this thing is relatively big and...

For me, this pair are worth every penny I paid. Man, I did not expect I get this much of binoculars for a little over $20. You can do a lot with it - bird viewing, sightseeing, even watching the moon ... A tripod is not essetial, since the 10x is OK for hand holding - the reason I did not go with 16x, or even 12x. Taking it to a concert might be too much, since this thing is relatively big and rugged, but I bet you can see the sweat on people's faces in case you do bring it ...

Make sure you do not show the strap that comes with the pair to people, as they will downgrade the value of the pair significantly ... The carrying bag that comes with them is actually decent enough to bring along.

I bought this item to view birds....

Strengths: 50mm objective lens gives you a very bright image. Very easy focus adjustment.

Weakness: The strap is useless

I bought this item to view birds. This might be the best binocular you can get by this price. The picture is very clear compared with my old compact binocular and the object has a very good three dimension shape.

BTW, you can hook this binocular to a tripod, the image will stabilize.
