I would recommend this item. It is the best value item! Usually a good optics binocular would cost more than $400, this one has the laser rangefinder build in! Optics performance is good, bright images with no discolorations even in low light conditions. Ranging is very accurate! Product comes with harness case so no need to purchase another accessory!Product looks nice comparing to those big brands!

What a buy! Most LRF Binocs are over $1,000, but these are only $499. The optics were surprisingly clear. The rangefinder is quite fast and appears to be very accurate. I was able to range out to over 1,600 yards on a street sign. I will have to get them in the field to check them out on animal fur. But, overall, my first impression is very good. These are also a really nice looking pair of binoculars. For a 10×42, they feel very compact in my hands. I love the binocular harness that comes with the product and the attached objective lens covers…finally, I will not lose the covers. Overall, I am excited about using these new LRF Binos.

I was pleasantly surprised when I got my hands on these binos. The look and feel were solid, and the focus adjustment was smooth. The glass seems extremely clear with great contrast in the day, and adequate during low-light. The offering in the box is generous, with a nice carrying bag, along with lens covers galore. The rangefinder seems to be a bit jumpy when attempting to pinpoint smaller targets, but it works accurately when locked on. I wish the digital display was a color other than black. It gets hard to see in dimmer light, but it's easily visible during the day. Battery life seems to be near infinite, and the price is definitely great. All in all, great value for the money.

I was skeptical given the price, very happy I made this purchase. Glass is as clear as my Vortex Diamondback Binos! Even in low light this glass can see antler points on whitetails. The yardage readout is in the lower left corner and does not obstruct the view. The chest rig easily adjust and comes with everything my $100 chest rig from another company has. The buttons are easy to press and do not cause you to move off target. This one set of binos and rangefinder will be replacing two items I carry, so less things to forget and grab for. Modes are easily changed and once set will be there when you hit the rangefinding button.If you take the price of the chest rig out this rangefinder binocular is only $400 which is way less than I paid for my current rangefinder and binos that are separate! Even if the chest rig was not included these are less expensive and well worth the price!

Overall, I would expect this quality from more expensive binos that didn’t have a LRF. The glass is clear and doesn’t have any hue variation. The field of view is decent for a 10x optic. They’re not overly heavy or bulky. The soft case is nice and you can remove the straps if you want to stuff it in a backpack. The LRF works consistently inside of 600m, but you kind of need to get lucky to range something passed that. The object needs to be reflective and basically perpendicular to you (I ranged 2 cars at just over 1200m but it was mostly luck).
