Sunagor 15-70x27"Maxima" Mini Zoom Binoculars

A bit too sensitive on higher magnification for my shakey hands . A tripod stand would be good, but I do not want to be carrying one around

Bought them for my Son he said that there Ok

I can see Siskins, blackcaps, greenfinches, goldfinches, chaffinches, dunnocks, blackbirds, bluetits, great tits, coal tits, greater spotted woodpecker, jackdaws, jays, magpies, far better now from my kitchen window - But seriously - These are great to use alongside a less expensive pair of 8x25 or something one for general spotting the other for close examination. I only use the Sunagors at 15 x as that is usable hand held and you can use them on a tripod but that rather negates the reason for having a small pair of binos for easy carrying in the first place. They are a bit dark in darker conditons but you can`t have everything in such a small package. I think they are great but you do get into shaky viewing territory once you get up to above 20 x handheld.

They are certainly compact and have a nice chunky and heavy feel to them, but the magnification is too much, they are difficult to hand hold, even at the minimum setting.Because of the small front lenses, they lose a lot of light and detail which gets worse as they are zoomed in on a subject.Good in principle, but if you want magnification you need full size binoculars with the biggest front lenses you can get, or better still a spotting scope and tripod.As for general use binoculars to leave in the car or rucksack I have come to the conclusion that the greatest magnification I can handhold is 12x and have since bought a good quality fixed magnification compact pair with the largest front lenses I could find to replace the Sunagor.

the chinese must have very small heads. i could not get them to work. my mother got them to work smaller head

Works best at mid to lower magnification. Acquired a tripod to help with the highest magnification.

Great if a bit fiddly

good solid product but takes some practice
