Good Powerful binocular

Happy with the performance. Sturdy built, Nice carrying case. Great range, crisp and clear view. Used it to view Eagles in concert @ Busch Stadium and was able to clearly see the band on stage. Very happy with the product. Expensive but good value for money if one is looking for a very good binocular.

I bought this for a friend of mine that likes to spend a lot of time outdoors, and she absolutely loved it. I myself got the opportunity to view through them and they were pretty awesome. Very clear, water proof, fog proof, overall satisfied.

I broke them in in the rainforest of puerto rico and ID'd 12 new species i'd never seen before. they aren't too heavy and are a great value!

Not great but pretty darned good!

As a part-time birder as well as the fully confessed "uninformed" regarding optics, I researched the beGezus out of modestly priced binoculars before settling on these. And I'm glad I bought them! Housed in rubber armor but sharp and sleek, and not too heavy, the Monarch ATB 7430's bridge the gap between too cheap and too expensive as well as not enough and too much! With precision aligned optics for extended viewing and roof prismatics these binoculars provide sharpness and clarity found in +[...] binoculars! The 7430's Monarch binoculars are fog proof as well as waterproof (I live in the mountains and we get lots of both!) and great for folks who wear glasses as they have built in Extended Eye Relief and a center of focus. As an eyeglass wearer, I find these two options extremely useful when looking for the elusive Pileated Woodpecker, a large beautiful bird that can often be difficult to find in the forests. In my decision to purchase these I considered reviews from a lot of sources, and they are recommended by Cornell Bird Labs, Optics Planet and [...], as well as the fine folks here at Amazon!

Worth the money

We a taking a two week trip to Alaska shortly and wanted a good weather proof binocular. The reviews were very positive for this item. So far our observation is that the clarity and low light capabilty are much better than my Nikon Travelite V ($100). The case is nothing to get excited about but it works. The cap system seems pretty good, so I don't think we will be using the case very much anyway. We will be able to evaluate better when we get back from our trip
