I am considering a deal on a new set of these bins. The price is my max so pricier options are off the table. Ordinary porros are my first, almost only, choice.

The primary mission is a truck bin that will survive under the seat of a Jeep TJ in western Canada. My go to bin is a 8X30EII BB so I have the real nice bin view covered. I won't bird with these but viewing opportunities of large wildlife are expected.

Please share your experience with the current 7X30 Nav Pro, worts and all. It is on the shelf locally.

Research has indicated the Nav Pro has a blue tint to deal with glare from the water and is submersible rather than just waterproof.

FWIW I've been told the 30's in both Navigator and Commander are no longer in production.

Might explain why the price is so attractive for the Canadian market. Interesting development!

I bought the bins. So far happy with bins. The initial view is acceptably sharp but will compare against the EII's when conditions improve. Amateur review once used to bins and IF.
