Decent binoculars for the price, no phone adapter

One of the main reasons I chose these binoculars was because the product description gave the impression that a phone adapter was included in the box. It wasn't included which was a little disappointing. Aside from the lack of accessories, the binoculars themselves are pretty good for the price. They're lightweight, seem fairly well made, but don't feel heavy and offer a clear view into the distance. I haven't used them in particularly low light, so I can't comment on that. When I ordered these I was looking for something that would be good for spotting wildlife in the woods. On a glacier or in Yellowstone, it can be handy to have binoculars for safety reasons to see a grizzly bear from afar, or to take a picture if you're in a car. I don't plan on using them to sit and watch birds or other wildlife through binoculars so I'm not worried about looking through them for long periods of time. However, I was hoping to have something I could set up and connect to my phone to take some photos or video of remote wildlife. This is not possible without a camera attachment. Very good binoculars for the price. Not great but good enough. When I look through them, I often see a blue circle around my field of vision. It doesn't bother anything, and if I focus on something far away, I don't notice it. I don't think it's typical of high-end binoculars, but it's not high-end. They are and were ordered because they would be "good enough" for about $30. It was disappointing not to receive a camera mount. I would give these binoculars three stars but add a fourth star because they are about as cheap as I've seen them. For binoculars in the $30 range, this is a good buy.
