For the price I got them, I think these are quite good. I looked at Jupiter today, and the image was nice...could resolve the planet's disc...though not much more given these are binoculars. Have peered at terrestial objects, and they focus quite well. Certainly, one can get better optics at much higher prices, but for the price point these things are, to me, the proverbial "steal." I was afraid to get a zoom because of quality control issues...and have been pleasantly surprised with the ones I got. Not a razor perfect focus at zoom, but, again, reasonable clarity for the price (I also just like the zoom's versatility). I am happy and appreciative. That said, others may have different standards, and/or receive less, or better quality versions. Re: weight...they can be held by me (normal size guy) for a fair amount of time...but one can get tired. A tripod would be nice for higher poer viewing. Happy Hunting.

A little Disappointing

Barska typically makes a great product for the price, bought these after loving my fixed Barska 15X20, but the variable model is not clear in higher mags, the visual area is not as wide as my fixed 15X20, and the distance between the eyes is too narrow; what I have learned from this purchase is the you do better to stay with fixed optics on the cheaper models, as the variable models require much more exacting mechanisms than allowed by the price of this glass

I am amazed at how clear these are. If scanning over 100 yards away very little focus changes are needed.

Comments about Barska 12-36x70mm Gladiator Zoom Binoculars:

they're great binoculars i love them...but they're so big to carry around. in the end its worth it though because they focus great and they're just so clear..[...] if you're looking for something small, these binoculars are not for you,but they certainly are GREAT and well worth the lugging it around!! The price is also fantastic..

        I got these for people watching while I'm on vacation at the beach but did not expect to be able to see so far. I've also been watching the large ships and boats pass by and at night the moon and stars are so cool to check out with the tripod attachment. Good deal !
