Doesn't get much better than this.....
New for 2015, the Meopro HD 10X42 binos that I've spent a few months reviewing have all the bells and whistles at a pretty surprisingly "lower" cost.
Disclaimer* I have not used these hunting yet. I know many of you will be purchasing these with the intention of using them to hunt but I haven't had the opportunity to take them hunting yet so can't give you the run down of how they've held up while doing so.
With that out of the way, I have however used them for a long list of uses like calling hits on steel targets 400 yards, some nature sight seeing, and even some digiscoping their 44mm iphone adapter. Pretty much everything you'd ever use bino's for except glass game that I was ready to shoot.
Through all of this testing, there's been a few things that have stuck out to me as usable features that for me justify the $900 street price. I'm not going to bore you by riddling off specifications or a bunch of optical terminology.
What "I" Like About Them:
-The Housing. Their built with a quality that reminds me of a well built high-end watch. On top of that they also do an extremely well job of staying grippy even when my hands get abnormally sweaty. Yes a lot of bino manufacturers do this BUT on these they're not overly grippy where they get hung up on your clothes or pack when moving.
-Clarity. It's second to none out of optics in this price range.
-Light Transmission. At 99.7 its also some of the highest in its price range as well. I can personally attest to this after ...

best hunting bino
This will be my 2nd year hunting with my MeoPro 10x42HD binos. I'm able to spot game earlier than my buddies and these binos gobble up every last bit of daylight in the evening. The clarity of the glass is amazing. They are also durable, which is great if you are tromping through the woods stalki...

MEOPTA MeoPro 10x42 HD vs. MAVEN C1 10x42 ED
MEOPTA MeoPro Positives:
1. Clear and brighter glass. It is hard to quantify these parameter without comparing them to another binocular of similar class and price range, so I chose the MAVEN C1 10x42 ED to compare the MEOPTA with and I can say that the MEOPTA has a slight edge on the Maven.
2. Fi...

Excellent binos
I would rate these better than the Vortex Razors I have and about half the cost.

Best Pair of Binoculars I have ever looked through
Mt Meopros came in a few days ago and I have really been enjoying them since. I set out to buy the best I could in this price range and I was not disappointed. I'm not experienced enough in optics to say what spending more money would get me but I'm extremely happy. Quality built and many many great reviews all over the internet.
My use is bird and wildlife watching and the roof prism style appealed to me as I think they will be smaller and easier to have with me more often in case I see something in the distance. The adjustment points are just the right stiffness that I don't have to readjust every time I raise them to my eyes except of course the focus distance.
The colors and definition of the target objects is much better than I expected. The construction is great and the ergonomics took only a few minutes to get used to over my old porro prism style binoculars.
I was very close on a pair of Nikon Monarch 7 and I went back and forth on 8x42 vs 10x42. I settled on the 10x42 wanting the bigger magnification and the field of view was still far superior to my old binoculars. I find I have no trouble at all holding these still. Still waiting for a clear night to try them at some newbie astronomy but my primary purpose was during the day.
Oh and the 5 foot minimum focus distance is awesome fun too. I never thought about binoculars for things that close. Tiny wildlife is really neat to watch.

Competes With the Big Names Well, Clear Edge to Edge
At a recent bird fair the Meopta Meopro HD 10x42 were well received and almost everyone was surprised they were measured up to the alpha glass that was being passed around. No CA, no SA, sharp edge to edge and great depth of field, the quick focus worked well once dialed in. I don't know if it was the particular model we sampled but it passed most of the tests we put them thru including low light at dusk. We were also impressed by the MeoPro 8x42 HDs, they did have slightly better low light performance but that was to be expected. We compared the MeoPro HD 10x42 with a pair of Zeiss Conquest, Vortex Razos, Vipers and Meostar 10x42s and most birders stated they could not see a big difference and agreed at this price range the MeoPros were best bang for the buck.

One Word to Describe These Binocs...
Outstanding!
I have owned 4 sets of higher end binocs.
This blows them all away.
I can't believe how little I paid for how much value I received in return.
You can't go wrong with these. Took them out to the duck blind a few weeks ago.
I can discern individual feathers on flying ducks at 150+ yards. Can practically see in the dark.
