Review on πŸ” Enhanced BARSKA Ruby Lens Gladiator Binoculars by Angie Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Barska Gladiator 10-30X50

You get a bargain for the price. Is it comparable to Zeiss or Swarovski binoculars? no For the price, you're getting good value binoculars with variable magnification, which is a pretty good deal. This has to be one of the best vari-magnification binoculars on the market today for under $100. At the lowest setting (10X) you'll see sharp, crisp detail with good light transmission even in lower light levels, a bargain at this price point. As you turn up the power you'll find that focus may need to be adjusted slightly and clarity may decrease, but given the price of this device that's perfectly acceptable. These are not premium binoculars for truly professional use, but entry-level binoculars for users on a budget. These binoculars are better than none at all. One caveat about Barska is the quality associated with this brand. I don't doubt the negative reviews some reviewers have left about this particular binocular, and I don't doubt the glowing comments others have left. You will be pleasantly surprised by this model of binoculars. If you're looking for vari-magnification binoculars for under $50, check out the Barska Gladiator 10-30X50mm. Consider the price range of this instrument when evaluating its performance. I also have very expensive binoculars so I don't need a lecture on the professional aspects of a quality pair of binoculars. I'm just providing an honest review of this particular binocular model and how it fares in the (under $150) category. Pros: Price (under $40 including SH). Variable power. Does the job well enough. Cons: The weight is a bit heavy but to be expected given the price. Clarity suffers as the power increases and requires focus adjustment, but this is sufficient for most. Fragile. I wouldn't drop this thing five feet without expecting trouble.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Embarrassing
