PowerView 20x50 Super High-Powered Surveillance Binoculars, Black

I bought these binoculars for daytime use, with no digital features/batteries to be able to use in case of any electrical disturbance or EMP, to be paired with a laser rangefinder. The daytime images are crisp and clear up to 700 yards (according to the rangefinder). Even in very low-light condition,s images are crisp and clear out to 100-125 yds. However, these are not night vision binoculars and should not be bought if that is what you are looking for. The lever-like magnification adjustment in the center connector is a plus as it makes adjusting images to ranges desired simple and quick and does not irritate your finger as the usual circular ribbed adjustment knobs do. There is a single eye piece/focus adjustment on the right, so you cannot adjust separately for each eye. All adjustments are manual. These are full size binoculars-I wouldn't call them large or excessively heavy. They are surprisingly light for their size but feel like quality, sturdy, well made binoculars able to take some bumps and drops with their rubberized skin. Basically, they are as advertized, with the reviews generally accurate regarding performance and build. There is a neck strap which is comfortable to use and they do not pull down on your neck with the strap. There is also a strap for the carry bag, which is large enough to hold my rangefinder and the binoculars together. For someone who is going to be on the go or in tactical situations I would suggest getting a molle administrative/padded pouch to mount on a plate carrier or chest rig for long-term carry needs.

I bought this pair of binoculars as a replacement and upgrade for what I had for the past twenty years. When I orderd it, I did know it would let me see more at much farther distances than what our previous pair allowed. But when I actually had the chance to compare them both side by side when it was delivered I was amazed at how much difference there was. I only now wish I had made the switch many years earlier. Well worth the price, very good close ups for sporting events, travel, recreational, and hunting activities. The quality is very good, and I have had no issues with the mechanism so far. The only short fall, and it is a minor one at that, is the strap. It could be of better quality and a little better thought out with its functionality. However with its carrying case, the strap is not that much of factor. I do rate it a good buy overall. If you buy it, you will like what you see with it.

Bushnell is one of the most trusted names in binoculars & scopes, The 20x power brings subjects very close with very little loss of detail. With the 50x Diameter lens, it lets in just so much light for a 20x magnification. For the optimal experience use these in daylight, the brighter the day the better the image quality. The higher the power (20x) not only magnifies the image but also magnifies the hand movement, these binoculars have a tripod adapter built in if you need it.

I purchased these binoculars as a birthday gift for my husband. We use binoculars to watch the wildlife in our backyard and pasture. We are both very pleased with the quality of these Bushnell PowerView 20x50 glasses. The view is very crisp and clear, and the 20x zoom far exceeds any other binoculars we have used. (We can count the points on the antlers of bucks half-way up the mountain.) The product has a nice, solid feel but is not too heavy. I really like the rubber coating -- it gives you a good solid grip. We have other Bushnell optic products which have performed well for over 30 years, and we expect the same result from these. The only issue we have is, for some reason, it is very obvious that we can't be still while using these glasses. The 'wiggling' is much more distracting than we ever noticed with the 10x binoculars. It probably has something to do with the extra magnification, but I suppose it could be just old age setting in. I would recommend these binoculars to others.

Held off rating the Bushnell 20 X 50 binoculars util I had a chance to use them for both terrestrial and astronomical uses. They deliver quality results for both. I was able to see the craters on the Moon in detail and especially along the terminator line as well as Jupiter and its moons under less than ideal conditions (light pollution) as well as Saturn. Day time use also yielded very good results (clarity and detail.). Should you be looking for a reasonably priced binocular to get you started these will fit the bill. The binoculars have a tripod attachment point between the barrels just pop off the cap in front. NOTE: the tripod and binocular mount are not included they are my own.

Had to return this item could not get the binoculars to focus

Wish they came in colors with no price change

After surfing the net, growing wearing of gartantuan price increases, what a thrill it was to discover the bargain of bargains, top quality, instantly available, gently used Bushnell Powerview Binocs, a perfect example of the type of bargain that Amazon dot com continues to offer the discriminating and careful shopper. Not only is my purchase a bargain, but also the quality of the merchandise is top of the line, just what I've grown to expect from my Amazon purchases. The binocs are easy to focus, spot-on in focus (you could pick a flea off the back of a rhino at 50 paces) and child-easy simple in its user's technique. What fun it is to get exactly what was described! The only surprise for this jaundiced shopper is that the merchandise is precisely what I hoped for and expect. You rock, Amazon!

Bought as a gift for my husband. He was very happy with these binoculars.

I have used them on two birding trips now. When the birds are in the sky or far away, these binoculars are top-notch. Because of their extreme zooming power, birds or plants that are nearby are blurred. I believe we can observe the nearby area with our own eyes. All in all, these are very good. I especially like the zooming lever: it makes zooming in very easy.

Powerfull, Image is clear, good value for money.

Thanks

Pour un usage randonnée, pour admirer les détails d'un beau point de vue, le grossissement est très (trop ?) important et permet de scruter à distance des choses que l'on ne devine même pas à l'œil nu. La qualité de fabrication perçue est vraiment bonne, et la vision vraiment satisfaisante. Le poids contenu ne gêne en rien dans mon sac à dos, pour une rando d'une demi-journée... En bref, très content de mon achat !
