Amazing HD Optic for a Great Price!

by Mike C., Gear Expert from IL, United States Written on June 16, 2016
ED Glass and HD coatings are hard to find at this price, but Vortex hit the nail on the head. These are surprisingly compact for a 56mm bino. You cannot beat the clarity of this optic, and the armored grip makes them very easy to hold. Vortex includes rubber lens covers that fit perfectly, so you don’t have to worry about them popping off and losing them out in the field. The right-eye diopter is in the center, in front of the focus knob. I feel this placement makes it harder to accidentally turn it like other models where the adjustment is on the eyepiece. For this price, it’s hard to find anything better with such a large objective lens! A tripod adapter is included, so you can make sure to get the support needed for a stabilized view. These do have a high magnification and heavier than average objective lenses, so stabilization with a tripod is highly recommended!
Most Helpful Positive Review Awesome Product
I just recently purchased this item and love it. It does have a bit of weight so I highly recommend purchasing a full shoulder/back harness for hiking and packing the one I purchase is the horn hunter bino hunb with the solo max harness. There are few bino hubs that fit these optics. The clarity and low light vision is amazing. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Binocular upgrade

by Kurt T, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on December 15, 2017
This are the first binoculars I’ve purchased in about 23 years. So much has changed since then. These are super clear with a wide field of view. I bought these for an upcoming hunt that requires a lot of glassing and these will fit the bill. Tripod is a must due to 15X. The pro and cons are pretty much in line with what everyone says. The only thing that was never mentioned was that they don’t seem to spread wide enough to be comfortable. It may just be me but that is my biggest disappointment.
Pros:
  • Price, clarity, Vortex VIP warranty,
  • Comes with tripod adapter
Cons:
  • Weight,lens caps are kind of cheesy,
Would recommend: Yes

Great glass for someone on a budget

by Nate, from AZ, United States Written on September 27, 2017
Best 15x56 in the $400-$600 range. Do NOT compare to the big boys of Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, Minox and Meopta. Great sleek look, meets expectations for binoculars at this price range. This is the smartest thing that Vortex has done for marketing and production. Reaching out to those on a budget who cannot afford the big boys.
Pros:
  • Clear as the rest when the sun is completely out
Cons:
  • Blurring around the edges, not great during lownlihht.
Best Used for:
  • glassing
Would recommend: Yes

Great Binoculars

by Frank, from CA, United States Written on August 11, 2017
The only complaint is they are heavy, other then that you can't beat them, very clear and sharp, compare favorably to my Nikon ATB 10x24, the Vortex Vulchers are 15x56 and are great all around glasses! I would highly recommend them if you do not carry them long distances.
Pros:
  • clear,bright and sharp
Cons:
  • fairly heavy
Best Used for:
  • non moving viewing
Would recommend: Yes

Good value

by Grizzly550, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on July 12, 2016
Good clarity all the way to the edge. For the money these can not be beat in the 15x56 category. Warranty is the best in the business. They are heavier than your normal 10x42 and you will need a tripod to fully utilize these binoculars.
Would recommend: Yes
