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.

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

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

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

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