Ive got a pair old binoculars made of heavy metal and with a terrible narrow neck strap.Not the best thing to carry around on a long walk! I wanted something light, durable and with a POWERFUL zoom, this was perfect! This telescope is FANTASTIC! The rubber armour is brilliant; the zoom just what I wanted and it comes with a carry case with a belt loop.
I found quite an ingenious design on the telescope, its similar an aiming cross hairs you get on the top of a gun. You aim at what you want to look at with it,then look through the scope. It saves time on looking around for a while at what you want to see when looking through the lense. IT also has a tripod screw hole on it as well.It`s a must have for those who want a decent scope. Better than any binoculars I've ever looked through!
Also this is a wide angle telescope just incase you'd prefer one without WA.
