Stephanie,
Are you suggesting that 2.505kg/ 5.52lbs was a problem?
The Noctivid was 40 yards away today but I have no doubt it would make mincemeat of that too.

Absolutely not! The only problem between me and the 10X50WX is the $6.4K US user fee.

FWIW offering no comment on the pros and cons of AllBinos!
Apart from mounting on a tripod for observation purposes, what is the market that these are aimed at?
Allbinos is a great source of information, and I agree some of their scoring methods
could be better, as in tripod socket available, and some other things.
I have used some of the binoculars tested on there, and I do agree with their findings.
Gijs, who posts often on here is another good resource, but his work is not posted in English
so I often cannot read it.
For those who like to criticize, go ahead and do all the work required for tests and comparisons like
this.

Also, more simple, resolution, which, too, is explained by them....Allbinos...the "stunning view" category seems to be missing...And as Allbinos write themselves...
The best view and the widest field at 7x and at 10x when mounted?...why is it being demonstrated at essentially a birdwatching event...?...These come across imho as a lower magnification and costlier version of the Kowa Highlander unit. What am I missing please?...
The best view and the widest field at 7x and at 10x when mounted?
Yes they may well be, though I still cannot correlate why they're being compared to a birdwatching, sports optics binocular as in the O.P. They may well optically " blow the EDG out of the park" but I doubt you'll ever see a birder using one in the field.
My understanding of Birdforum was it was a community based around birdwatching, nature and all things associated rather than a platform for optics science.
