Review on 🔭 KLOPT Zoom Binoculars: Enhance Bird Watching & Hunting with 8x-24x50mm BAK4K Prism Zoom by Renee Vinith

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap quality, very poor assembly, expected better for $130

I am 100% honest. I opened the package and was initially impressed with the looks, but then something went wrong (maybe I had a bad pair?). I installed them and looked at the next hill where there is a cellular antenna. I closed my right eye as the knob focused the left one so it was nice and clear and went to adjust the eyecup for the right one, but I couldn't adjust it far enough to get a sharp image. I gave them to a family member to check if it was just my eyes but no I couldn't focus the right one to match the left one. Second, I was able to tweak them to get an image with them one pointing in a completely different direction than the other. So I looked into the binoculars with a flashlight and saw fingerprints and smudges all over the optics and the glue or glue they used to attach the outer prism had cracked leaving the prism at an odd angle. I checked another tube for the same smudges and fingerprints on all lenses and dust and dirt inside. There was something like glue on the outer ring of the lens mount, which only cheapened its look. The zoom function worked, but I can't verify that it's 24x. It doesn't look like it because I have an older 20x spotting scope and used it to see more distant subjects at maximum magnification. For the price I expected much better. I used a gift card from a family member to get it so I sent it back and now I have to wait a week or more to see a refund so I can order some famous brands for $40 more.

Pros
  • Camera and Photo
Cons
  • Slightly torn
