The Binoculars are in a very good condition. Includes carrying case, 2 sets of tripods and lens cleaning kit. Probably one of the most impressive 10x50 Binoculars ever made.
These Binoculars use the military style individually focusing eyepieces (set it and forget it) with long eye relief for those who wear glasses. The binoculars also have a very high range interpupillary (IPD) adjustment that will allow proper viewing for most user. These binoculars offer excellent performance in low light conditions.
The design uses fully coated optics for absolutely stunning resolution and image clarity and alloy construction to reduce weight. Laser protection is provided by built in filters. To calculate the range of objects a reticle with vertical and horizontal markings is built-in to the unit. The periscope can also be used for angle measurements, it is even a compass installed. These binoculars are extremely rugged, relatively lightweight and can be taken anywhere using the highly portable carrying case. The Carrying case includes backpack straps and a compartment inside the case for their storage when not in use.
The condition is very good, with no dust intrusion inside the binoculars, no mildew, and no scratches on the optic surfaces.
