Gosky 10x42 Binoculars for Adults High Powered with Phone Adapter & Tripod | Super Bright, BAK4 Prism, IPX7 Waterproof Binoculars, for Bird Watching Hunting Cruise Safari Travel Outdoor Sports Concert

I had read several guides advising spending > $100 to get quality binoculars, but I decided to try these Gosky's after reading many positive reviews. My family and I have not been disappointed. We have recently gotten into bird watching after setting out a couple feeders in our back yard, but it was hard to make out many details as the feeder was a good ways from our back window. These binoculars have the perfect balance between field of view (allowing us to easily locate the birds) and magnification. The image quality is stunning - there is no detectable distortion in proportion or color, and the focus/diopter adjustments were easy to dial in accurately. I quickly ordered a tripod adapter to attach the binoculars to our camera tripod, and that has provided a stable base for viewing and for using the included phone attachment for taking photos. Taking pictures with the phone is fun, but I've found it difficult to get a really clear image. I think this is because the phone cameras default to < 1 magnification, so you have to use the phone camera's digital zoom to even get back to the 10x magnification of the bino's, and that introduces some noise, but it's fine if you're not printing the images. If you're interested in taking quality photos you'd really need a better setup with a real camera attached. Overall, we are really pleased with the Gosky binoculars and hope to take them to the lake in our kayaks to check out the eagles, falcons, and ospreys.

I am an astronomy nerd from way back, but left my gear behind when I moved, and have also been getting more into birding lately, especially with doing a lot more walks around Central Park and upper Manhattan since the pandemic started and seeing lots of nifty new creatures. I saw these binoculars recommended by the Manhattan Bird Alert twitter feed (among other places) and decided to treat myself. But given the price it's hardly that much of an outlay! And they are a wonderful piece of kit - comparing them to my old binoculars I had for astronomy (7x50 or 10x50 porro prisms) they are much lighter and more compact, and feel really solid: they don't feel fragile or something that you have to be fearful of carrying around. I suppose there are lighter models out there but I think these are a perfect weight - too light and the hand wobble can be problematic. They're also really well-balanced in the hand. Also the optics are outstanding for this price. Of course all optics have some limitations, and these aren't perfectly colour-corrected or 100% sharp edge-to-edge, but they are far beyond the other low-price binoculars I've owned in the past. The moon is always a challenging target for optics with the huge contrast, but you don't get swamped in reflections or chromatic aberration. I can't quite see the entire field of view with my glasses on but I can see most of it, and the twisty eye cups work really well if I take off my glasses. The focus knob is really smooth and easy to use even with gloves on. So in summary, for the price I can't imagine a more ideal pair of binoculars for casual/semi-casual use. If you spent double or more the price you could get something a bit better, but I doubt that most people would notice much difference.

The tripod has to be attached to the metal adapter first or its almost impossible.. I seen a review that said it doesn't work. You have to keep pressure to get the screw in place. The metal was not drilled that good. The eye releaf is good for glasses wearers. The weight is good. I think it looks like a quality binocular, the tripod is ok i got one myself that goes over 6 feet. Its not blurry normal distortion (I think it reminds me of the nature dx but the minimum focus is close to 15 feet. I tried out their 10x42 at my library this one has good eye releaf unlike the 10x.

I was in desperate need of glass for 3d and hunting. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the binos in the mail. The quality in these binos are very very nice. Standing at 40 yards looks like I'm 10 feet from my archery target. Very easy to adjust to my eye sight as well. 10/10 I would buy again and suggest to anyone looking for solid binos on a budget. They sure don't look or feel like budget binoculars. God bless.

Full disclaimer - I am not an expert in binoculars. I just studied the reviews before buying these and hoped I was making the right decision. There were some arguments in the reviews if these were really the strength they say they are... so I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best! I primarily wanted these to (hopefully) see dolphins and sharks from our beachfront condo. Sadly there haven't been any:( BUT if there had been these binoculars would have made it seem like the shark/flipper were sitting next to me on my balcony! There is nothing I can't see with these binoculars. I've watched two beautiful weddings that were a long way away on the beach, I can see what snacks people are eating (I sound like a stalker I know!), I can see people on the boats clearly. There's nothing I can't see. And did I mention this is all from the 14th floor? I can even look straight down and see the little yellow flowers (see photo) and see the individual petals. There was also two little boats out in the ocean I couldn't see with the naked eye that I could see clearly with the binoculars (see blue dots). So, if you aren't a binocular expert and want something that's great quality to see all there is to see in fine detail then buy these!!! You won't be disappointed!

10x42 (or 8x42) is recommended for Alaska cruising, and our 10th anniversary finds us embarking on our first cruise - thus our first binoculars. Immediately impressed with these. They outshine the older Bushnells loaned to us by a friend with the same specs: seem clearer, crisper, easier to adjust and handle. There's a little bit of heft to them; they seem sturdy, durable. We bought a $30 generic brand to compare and you can definitely see the quality difference: the generic is lighter, with cheaper plastic, doesn't seem as smooth in its visual acuity or adjustments. Functionally the same, tho the eye relief on these seem better and the lens adjustments stay in place/don't feel flimsy. That said, these may be considered compact for the specs, but you just don't get compact at this magnification. These are decently heavy and sizeable - enough to give me pause when considering lugging them around my neck on hikes and excursions. Maybe stowing then in my sling bag is an option, but I've got neck and shoulder problems from old car accident injuries, and I think this weight and size might be too much for the kind of outdoor activities we do. Because I can't get them any smaller, I'm going to look into a monocular style viewer to reduce size and weight. That said, the phone adapter technically works but it's flimsy - the phone and whole assembly can slip off at any moment: it only attached by sliding onto the end with nothing to keep it there or lock it in place. The weight of the phone pulls it askew/off. It's easy to line up the view but crazy bulky and awkward to use. I immediately decided there was no way I was going to mess with it on a trip. Maybe it would be fine while mounted on the tripod and completely stationary, but I need it on the move! Lens caps and viewing caps are great, quality, convenient, both attachable, the latter with a strap. The less to lose the better! I definitely recommend the binoculars, not so much the adapter. Photos included for size reference in hand and by my trusty 10 oz coffee mug.

The Gosky 10x42 binoculars provide decent viewing quality, but I found the phone adapter setup to be frustrating. It took multiple attempts to properly align the adapter with my iPhone camera, and every time I attached the phone to the binoculars, the alignment seemed to shift and require readjustment. The combined weight of the binoculars and iPhone also made the setup feel heavy and somewhat awkward to use. Another drawback is that I could not use the adapter while my iPhone was in its protective case, which added another step to the process. During one adjustment, the adapter pressed against the side well below buttons on my phone and accidentally started calling 911, which was definitely not expected. Once everything is finally aligned, the system works, but the setup process was much more difficult and time-consuming than I anticipated. Overall, the binoculars themselves seem fine, but the phone adapter experience needs improvement. It did not work for me and I returned.

The price was great and the product was well made with wonderful accessories. That being said it was too heavy and bulky for me to handle. I am an older woman and couldn't handle the weight of it.

Il binocolo è compatto e dotato di diversi accessori, c'è anche un piccolo cavalletto di supporto che forse è un pochino leggero per un uso professionale. Nel complesso il binocolo è veramente ben fatto, il grip è ottimo e anche la leggerezza della messa a fuoco. il rapporto luminosista / ingrandimenti è ideale e le visione risulta nitida e piacevole

Firstly, it is very affordable. Secondly, although it came with many free add-ons, its quality has not diminished. Thirdly, it is solidly built with a sleek design. Fourthly its optics are superb, clear and sharp. Highly recommended and this debunked the myth that budget binoculars are always subpar.
