Pros
  • Lightweight, size, waterproof, well built
Cons
  • Its a compact!
Bought to take into the mountains. The main considerations were weight & size and optical quality. It will not compete optically with a decent full size bino but it's the bino you can take anywhere. The other quality compacts were not as light or small and I could not see a significant optical difference.

I've since added a Leica Ultravid 10x25 which is almost as compact and a bit heavier but more useful overall as a compact. Don't see it reviewed here unfortunately.

Pros
  • Belt-go-anywhere-size
Cons
  • Tube Glitch
On mine, the left tube comes right off. I\'ve retraced my steps several times to find it on the ground. This is intolerable and nerve-wracking. Otherwise, I like this binocular; and it\'s especially convenient to wear it on the belt all the time. But I\'m looking to supplant it now because of the errant eyepiece.
