Zhumell 20x80 SuperGiant Binoculars

Great! - and Great warranty
I love these things. What a great piece of equipment for the price. I got these for moongazing and ship watching at the coast. They are great. Using these binoculars, I can see ships off the coast very clearly- even see people on the decks. W/o the glasses- I can barely see the ship itself. It lets in an enormous amount of light. A full moon is almost too bright to look at. It allows you to see very clearly at dusk and at night. Star clusters that are barely visable by eye become very bright and clear with these binoculars. They are heavy and hard to hold steady,so a tripod is a must for any detailed watching. You will not be disappointed.-MORE-- I knocked them off my tripod one evening and busted the eyepieces- boxed them up and sent them back to Zhumell w/ return postage (per their warranty) and received a brand new set within 7 days. No questions- no run around. Nice job Zhumell - I am a customer from now on.
Very pleased
I am amazed with the power, field of view, and quality of these binoculars. I went to a high point in my city, and scoped it out. It's like having 2 spotting scopes linked together. I could see things across the valley that I had no clue about with my naked eyes, and the moon looks like it does in those NASA photo's. The binoculars come in a nice soft case with a pocket for extra storage, they have a rubber coating over the exterior, rubber lens covers, a nice steel adjustable tripod mount, and right eye diopter adjustment. You can hold them with your hands, but I ordered a monopod, and it really helps with the stability and makes the viewing experience much more stable and enjoyable. I have had no problems with double imaging, as a matter of fact, one of the main reasons I chose this brand was for the metal rod in the center that holds both sides in alignment, it seemed somewhat necessary to me considering the size and power of the instrument. Get you some!
OK as a monocular, not a binocular
I could not get these to form a single image of a star or planet because the two tubes are not exactly parallel. I do not know whether that was a quality control issue of the pair I had, or the overall quality specification is so poor that misalignment is typical. Mine went back. A properly aligned pair would be a considerable bargain. If you buy these, buy them from a place with a good return policy. Keep the packaging and invoice.
