I was hoping for a better product. All the features sound great. If you only use it on lowest power it is ok. As you increase the magnification the detail gets worse and worse no matter how much you adjust. I read other reviews which said pretty much the same thing. They were right.

I can see the stars I want to see clearer than with my old binoculars! I can even mount them on a tripod for a steadier field of view! These are the best binoculars I ever used.

SPECIFICATIONS ------------------------------ Magnification: 10-30x Objective Lens Diameter: 50 mm Eye Relief: 15 mm Field of view at 1000 yds: 195 ft@10x Prism Type: BK-7 Lens Coating: Fully Coated Weight: 31.75 ounces Close Focus: 26 feet ***Note that this review is about Barska Gladiator 10-30x50...

Possibly the cheapest way you can get magnification as high as 30

Optically unremarkable at any magnification; Complexity makes them harder to use and prone to flaws

Great Binoculars for the price. These Barska binoculars are very powerful, with adjustable distances. I use them at the an open air rang to verify my shots so I don't have to wait until it's safe to walk out and verify it in person.

Look nice, work great, price was good. Would have given them 5 stars if they didn't have a few noticeably loose pieces. Have to not manhandle them, but I am sure they will serve me well.

The focus is a little bit hard to get because the mechanism is not so precise. When you get, the image is very good even in low light situations. Regarding the zoom option, it's useless. It's impossible to obtain focus with it. And mechanism gets even worse to use - hard and not precise.

Image is good

Focus mechanism is hard

You get what you pay for. However, it is functional and you get a fair view on a sunny day. Appears to be well built and armoured.

usable; waterproof; good construction

not a clear image

Just got back from a trip to San Francisco and Big Sur. These binoculars performed much better than I had expected for the price. I had checked out binoculars at double and triple the price and the Barska Gladiator was comparable in quality and features.

double vision out of the box, prism is off cant adjust it.

Very good and excellent value given the price (was discounted when bought). We've used them quite a bit and my only regret is that I didn't buy them sooner! They may not impress a professional (I read some negative reviews) but for a layman like me they are more than adequate.
