Pros & Cons

Pros

These binoculars are terrific. Purchased the 8x32's primarily for entry into birding. Get a pair of nikon monarchs or vortex diamondbacks if you want, but they won't outperform these. Celestron is great too. Nikon is great quality but a little more ex...  Read More

The carson vp 8x42 provides a nice field of view and excellent clarity. The focus knob works smoothly. They even have click-stop diopter controls.

Carson binocs have a build quality that at least matches and perhaps even surpasses other units that cost hundreds more. The price for the quality is unbeatable. Similar to higher priced products.

Wide and padded neck strap makes it quite comfortable. The twist out eye cups are great. They are quite easy to focus, and aligning the eyes is quick and accurate.



Cons

Qc department is chock full of myopic peasants being paid minimum wage or i'm king of ireland. The carrying case and all the straps are cheaply made.

Coms recommendation as the budget pick so was happily surprised by the quality of the build materials and optics


These have a build quality that at least matches and perhaps even surpasses other units that cost hundreds more


Overall the tradeoff comes down to weight vs fov with the carson being less expensive

Price


They were recommended by an orinthologist so i decided to buy these as the price was in my economic range


Wonderful lightweight easy to use and great price


Can’t believe they only cost this much


I did not want to spend over 175 so i was happy at this price

Shipping


In peru you don’t get much variety and the shipping costs and other factors elevates the prices


00 to cover shipping and in exactly two weeks a new pair arrived


Before i bought it here on amazon i sent carson customer service an email asking if the carson vp 12x50 would be a wise choice ...  Read More

Packaging/appearance


Unfortunately there was nothing in the packaging of how to get intouch with the makers

Competitiveness


Much better than a similarly priced bushnell model i have


These are just as good as my nikon monarch5 10x42 but cost over 100 less


I had tried eyeskey 10x42 professional waterproof binoculars but had trouble with their field of view and the focusing knob


They were the lower end pricewise of 3 pair of binoculars i researched

    Before i bought it here on amazon i sent carson customer service an email asking if the carson vp 12x50 would be a wise choice to take to the beach to look at the ships and sailboats that are a few miles out to sea


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You really dont want a higher zoom than this or everything is shaky far off so really you get the biggest bang for your buck with these bad boys

    Great binoculars however the carrying case was ripped at the seam

    I see the case and strap for it are pretty much useless


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One of the ball bearings in the diopter adjustment came loose i fiddled with it and probably made things worse


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I called carson expecting a repair bill but willing to pay that to get my binoculars back in working order again
