Good value - Oberwerk 12x60mm Binoculars

12X is about the max I am able to hand- hold. They do have a threaded socket for tripod adapter. Rubber coating provides nice grip surface and protection against dings.
Pros: bright optics; smooth focus; comfortable eyecups
Cons: They are big. Neck strap provided is not adequate.
