Essentials Binoculars 8-24x25

My son in law had a pair of these so I searched on Amazon to buy 2 pair, one for me and one for my husband. They are fantastic with zoom button and so clear. And very inexpensive for the great quality. I am so happy with these, and I was not a Tasco fan but this one made me a fan! Great quality.

Optics seem ok, but I did not receive any lens cover as shown in the description photos.

After checking out what Walmart had, I shopped around on Amazon and found this at a cheaper price. I'll be field testing at my local rifle and pistol range, but so far no problems with focusing or zooming in and out. Installing the laynard did take me about 15 minutes to figure out...even with my college education. This will probably end up in one of my bug out bags...depending on field test I may get a couple more...looks great so far though.

I bought these (against the general recommendation) for the zoom functionality. The zoom is pretty awesome for what it is. In the end however, I was forced to return them because the field of view was just way to narrow. Even at minimum magnification you can only see a very small area (narrow field of view) which makes using these extremely uncomfortable - the image is always shaking and finding things is not easy. I compare them to a set of 10x Pentax binoculars in the same style I've had for a while. The Pentax set has a much wider field of view and is really much more comfortable to use. I will miss the high magnification provided with the zoom in this set, but honestly couldn't justify the purchase with all the crazy wobbliness at all zoom levels so back they went. The price was great however and, perhaps for a kid or if you REALLY want high zoom but narrow field of view, these might be okay. Mine came with lens caps for the eye pieces that didn't seem to attach to anything. Perhaps it was missing a piece or a strap to tie them to, I don't know. I can't speak for the optics as I don't have a $200 set to compare against - it was comparable to my Pentax set which is "okay" (colors not particularly vivid). I recommend a fixed magnification or perhaps another zoom set but with a wider field of view.

Researching binoculars for months for upcoming trip and FINALLY these arrived!! Expected them to not have a great view quality as they are lightweight, small and not a heavy duty plastic but looked through and WOW!! So clear!! Cannot wait for our trip. These will take up hardly any room in the suitcase and will be easy to carry around on vacation. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanted some binoculars that had a Zoom capability. There aren’t many out there that have this functionality. There are many binoculars that are better than these but with the zoom functionality it makes these a good choice. As binoculars they are just OK but the zoom function makes them a worthwhile choice.

I work as a lowly pathetic security guard and these binoculars are useful when I need to surveil my job site from the guard tower. It’s small and light enough to put in my jacket’s pocket and the zoom function is a welcome. We lowly guards make chump change and I’m grateful that the cost didn’t make me broke. Beware that the view is a bit narrow, especially when you zoom, but I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

I was buying Nikon binocs for my job but they don't last too long. The rubber eyepiece deteriorates and Nikon won't sell you just this piece. And you have to send it back to them to slip the rubber piece back on. So when my last one wore out, I purchased this Tasco and it is very comparable to the Nikon and costs about a 25% of the Nikon cost. I will buy this one again when I need another one.

très bon produit. A recommander

Clear and sharp images. No blurred edges. Can make out distant objects with details. Though smaller front lens, the image is bright and clear. But don't drop the binoculars or the alightment between 2 eyes will be out and cannot be rectified.

Se ve descolimado y a mayor zoom, peor se ve. Tienes continuamente reajustar las dioptrias del ocular derecho, cada vez que tocas la palanca del zoom. Lo he devuelto la misma tarde que los he recogido.

These are my first and probably only pair of zoom binoculars. They zoom between 8x and 24x. So, they are well made, look really good and have a snug but useful case. I went to the Tasco website looking for a user guide and found a general user guide for their binoculars. It's more important than you realise to download this guide as they explain how to make diopter adjustments for different eye strengths. Specifically, set the zoom to max 24x, then using centre adjustment, focus on a distant object for your left eye. Then using the right diopter adjustment, focus for your right eye. You should then be able to zoom and focus across the 8 - 24 range without additional diopter adjustments. The 24x setting is difficult to view distant objects with unless you can lean on something to maintain a steady grip on the binoculars. I found that if you start off at 8x to identify what you want to view more closely and then whilst still looking through the binoculars gradually increase zoom and refocus each time until you are satisfied with your field of view. So I think these are excellent value for money binoculars with very clear optics that need a little bit of thoughtful adjustment to make them a pleasure to use. I am very pleased with them.

Ótimo. É pequeno e potente.
