I intend to buy them, the UP 8x25 version but I don’t find any review on this forum.
AFAIK they have tripod mounting for such small bins, seems like Papilio with a larger front lens of 25mm. The focus knob pops out, but they don’t explain why it pops out.

Here is that fancy knob popping out but I don’t understand Japanese to figure out its purpose

Is the pop out used for setting the right eye diopter?
How is their quality?

the directions for the up type bino - apparently when you push the knob in, the diopter adjust is locked

Thank you for the link. So they have diopter adjustment and diopter lock to prevent changing the diopter accidentally. Very clever.
I could get a deal until the end of the year for them for less the half price of Nikon 8x 25 Travelite Ex / Prostaff ATB and have also tripod thread which Nikon Travelite of Prostaff ATB doesn’t have.
Might also fit easier in the pocket that the Nikon because of shape.
I wonder why I don’t find more reviews about those bins?

RTFM - which is generally a grand idea.
