Carson Minizoom 5-15x17 Reviews

Great set

These are lite, easy to use and inexpensive. After looking at several different pairs, these are the best set I could have bought. I took this set to a rainforest and they performed great and they never fogged.

Good value for the price

Small enough, easy to use, stays in focus, the zoom is just right - and all for about $40: a good buy, so much so that I got two.

One minor, but puzzling complaint: only one hook, so cannot use the usual neck strap.

disappointed

I purchased these binoculars due to the zoom and Carson's great warranty. The binoculars were defective as I could not make it so I could see only one circle when looking through the eyepiece. I contacted Carson multiple times over a two week period to get a replacement pair. Each time customer service informed me the person in charge of warrantys was out. After leaving multiple messages I have never received a call back after several weeks. I ended up returning the binoculars to Amazon, which was great with the return process.

Too small for my use

I have no opinion about how these mini binoculars compare to others in it's class. I was unaware of how small these really are. I could not get comfortable with the physical size of these binoculars and feel that unless you really know what you want these are a good candidate for local purchase so that you are comfortable with the size and features. I find Amazon a great source for many of my purchases, it just didn't work out this time.

good views

these binoculars are excellent, light weight, compact, clear, crisp viewing. The zoom feature is an added plus. This instrument is well worth the price. I would highly recommend this product
