I was looking for a light and compact alternative to binoculars for hiking, and most of all I needed something that would clear and well-focussed images. The Barska turned out to be heavy, bulky, and blurry. After checking the performance a few times, I parked it in the glove compartment of my car. Since it doesn't work well, I seldom use it.
Pros: lanyard, lens caps and belt pouch included
Cons: heavy, bulky, poor resolution
