Carson 3D Series High Definition Binoculars with ED Glass, 10x42mm, Black

Great little binocs for the price.

I have wanted some decent binoculars for years. Having thoroughly researched the market I opted for these (Carson 10 x 42 3D Series ED). I am delighted with them. However, when I opened the box a red warning notice fell out. 'It said, This product contains magnets and should not be used with someone who has a pacemaker'. Incredibly disappointed I contacted Carson and my pacemaker manufacturers. Both were prompt with their replies. It turns out that only the BinoArmor case contains the magnets and providing I 'disconnect' the casing it would cause me no health problems. I am very glad I have not had to replace these excellent binoculars. They are ideal for my needs of bird, butterfly and dragonfly watching and well as taking on fishing trips both sea and fresh water. They are well made, have clear crisp vision and are waterproof. I just need to buy a new case now. First rate quality product. UPDATE. Looking at some of the Amazon reviews on binocular cases, it seemed that some were not big enough when purchased. Accordingly, I contacted Carson for a recommendation for their 10 x 42 model. They did better than that.They sent me a superb (magnet free) case along with an additional strap, all free of charge . I have also had the opportunity of using the binoculars for a couple of weeks now. All I can say is that the very high ratings this product gets are fully justified. Their aftersales/customer service is obviously equal to the very high standard of their products (certainly if these binoculars are anything to go by). First rate, all round.

Los binoculares, tienen una buena calidad, en mi caso compré los 10x42 y la verdad los use muy pocas veces pero la satisfacción fue muy grande, amo observar aves así que disfrute mucho usar el equipo. Hoy estaba dando limpieza a mis equipos y me encuentro con una fisura en los lentes de los binoculares, específicamente en el tubo del ocular de ambos oculares. Como dije no los he utilizado mucho y tampoco transportado, esto me deja muy mal sabor de boca. Había utilizado estos binoculares hace unos años y sabía que eran muy resistentes, al parecer ya no los hacen como antes o de plano venían con el daño y no lo note a tiempo. Me siento desilusionada, piénsenlo mucho al hacer esta compra. Si me ayudan a identificar una solución se los agradeceré mucho.

Great quality binoculars for good price. Binoculars are not heavy. The image is amazing. The case seems very practical but I could not get used to it yet. Didn't try them at the night though.

I had a pair of Zeiss binoculars stolen recently and required a replacement, after much research and comparison site checking I came across a review that involved the Carson 10 x 42 3D series. I had never heard of this product before. After reading the reviews that compared the Zeiss 10 x 42 and other similar glasses and the Carson's.I looked into the Carson's a little more closely. The Carson's came out very well. None of those reviewed came out 100% but these were reviewed well. I have only had them 24 hours and I have not, so far been disappointed . They are very clear and sharp and handle well. They appear robust and well made. They are a little larger than my previous pair and slightly heavier but this is not too much of a problem. They come in a very professional looking box and cups for both lenses also two types of straps are also included. The straps are the normal over the head adjustable type and the other is a shoulder strap. I have never used this type before but I am willing to give them a try. The case is a well constructed soft BinoArmor Deluxe binocular wrap. A little different from any previous case I have used as the front folds down and the bins can be used still partially within the wrap. As my previous pair were quite small ,hopefully this may encourage me to keep the bins close to me and not so losable. Price - well the bins I had been researching were all in the £300 to £400 range,whereas these are just over £200. Taking the reviews into account and the price I decided on these on the basis that I had little to lose but so far they compare very well with the more expensive bins I have previously used.
