Ordinato e arrivato in 20 giorni in Italia e ho dovuto pagare la dogana, oculare imponente e ben costruito, ottimo assemblaggio non c'è il minimo corpo estraneo all'interno. Provato sul mio 120ED / 900 e appena ci ho messo l'occhio sono rimasto meravigliato, a parte il campo immenso, e ben corretto, nessuna aberrazione cromatica se non proprio sul bordo, estrazione pupillare comoda per chi porta gli occhiali, le stelle sono puntiformi fino al bordo, nessun problema di parallasse o immagini fantasma. Nel mio 120ED sviluppa 45 ingrandimenti e copre un'area quasi come un oculare da 30mm e 82° e restituisce immagini di ampi campi stellari ben definiti su cielo scuro. Super consigliato!

I have been observing celestial objects for a long time using 70-150mm aperture BT binoculars manufactured by Skyrover. Recently, I had the opportunity to use the SRBC 10X42 binoculars. While I have experienced optical performance in the large BT series that surpasses most Japanese BT models, excluding Kowa, I was surprised to find such outstanding optical performance in a roof prism binocular.

When compared to the Leica Noctivid 10X42, it is clear that Leica has superior build quality and assembly precision, such as alignment of the barrels and the quality of the peripheral image. However, I believe that most users new to binoculars who compare the two side by side would say that the SRBC "seems to provide a better view."

In practice, the SRBC 10X42 outperformed the Noctivid in both daytime and nighttime brightness, and its chromatic aberration control was also superior. The sharpness of the central image is comparable, and the sharpness at the edges is either on par or slightly better in the SRBC 10X42. The only area where the Noctivid, a top-tier German binocular, excels optically is in its control of stray light and ghosting. Personally, I also prefer Leica's color rendition. However, in terms of pure optical performance, I believe that at least Leica has been matched within the European trio of brands.

If your company could further improve the assembly quality of your small-aperture binoculars and add user-enjoyable options like a 'magnification booster,' I believe you could genuinely compete on an equal footing with the European trio of brands.

The binoculars are simply amazing! They don’t yield to top-tier analogs that cost a lot of money. A vast, even field from edge to edge.

The sun went down about half an hour ago. I couldn't wait anymore so went to the balcony for some observing despite the presence of thick clouds all over the sky. First in the view was Venus. A boiling hot planet that resembled a miniature moon in shape. I used a WilliamOptics transparent Bahtinov mask to tweak the focus positions of the oculars. Now in perfect focus, Venus looked beautiful in the view but at a mere 47x there was no surface detail whatsoever to be discerned. Next was the moon. Oh what a beauty! Every crater, big or small, was rendered clearly and beautifully. The bigger craters had dark shadows that the sun cast on them. There's not a trace of CA anywhere. Swinging the bino aimlessly around to look for some stars, I did stumble upon just a handful of them. All were round dots. The SkyRover is definitely a keeper. (Its optical quality far exceeds that of my APM 100mm SD BT which is now in serious danger of being offloaded.)

Fascinated by this little helper. The purest optics, compact appearance, image free of aberrations) The collimation error this time is small and only appeared at 114x magnification. Which I quickly corrected thanks to the acquired collimation skills

Out of curiosity on Jun 28 I ordered these from Sky Rover. Fast shipping to my home here in Florida, less than 10 days. They were nicely packaged in a plain brown box with adequate packaging material. First thoughts as I took them out of their soft case, very impressed. Solid Feel, Visually and Cosmetically … not a flaw I could see. They ooze with quality, not a scratch or smudge. Their black color, along with their leather appearance looks flawless. The lookalike leather really does look real. No mention on these anywhere that these are China sourced, just a very long serial number. If these were shown to a novice buyer who had little to none binocular experience, I feel I could easily pass these off as being made in Japan or Europe. Their build Quality(look) is that good, at least the pair I received. Now for their handling/optics. Looking into their oculars/objectives … squeaky clean. Glass coating with no imperfections that we could see. Both barrels impressively darken. Focuser perfect not to stiff, just to my liking. The Optical view, as stated by my better half … I can not believe how crisp/bright and sharp they are.

Awesome - so fast - so reliable. Highly recommend. Always use the approved shop. Very very happy. A very positive result.

Super binoculars very high quality .. I bought two

Thank you for your prompt response.
Optical test OK.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing how many times I can do my best.

I had to use Sky Rover's Lifetime Warranty to exchange my first 12x50 SRBC for a replacement due to artifacts inside the lenses which they took care of within a two week total turnaround period including international shipping both ways via prepaid FedEd international return shipping label they provided. The replacement doesn't have such defects which I appreciate.

I recently had returned a brand new top of the line (made in JAPAN) Leupold BX5 Santiam 12x50 ($1199.99) for refund after comparing it side by side to my $609 + $50 shipping 12x50 Skyrover Banner Cloud APO (the replacement I received under warranty).

The SRBC no doubt literally smoked the top of the line $1200 Leupold BX5 Santiam in sheer optical quality and performance with literally zero CA under normal viewing conditions compared to plenty of noticeable CA with the overpriced (IMHO) Leupold and overall quality of build (construction) and really smooth and consistent functioning focus knob feel were in fact much better with the SRBC.

They are also noticeably clearer and brighter than my Vortex Razor HDs and almost as clear/sharp as my larger Abbe Konig Razor UHDs.

If you're undecided on whether or not to spend $500 to $600 on a Nikon Monarch M7 or on a Vortex Viper HD or even a Razor HD next time they go on sale at Cabela's for $499 or cheaper, the SRBCs are noticeably optically superior and I have personally owned all of them already.

The ScoopX UHDs are second best in bang for your buck for as cheap as $115 currently if you don't quite have enough money to buy a SRBC but the SRBCs are better and are actually worth the price difference. Do a search on reddit to find them for cheap.

Buy the Banner Cloud APOs directly from here unless you want to spend more money buying them from elsewhere.

During the buying and shipping process they were in constant communication unlike SVBony who screwed both me and a good friend of mine over and outright refused to make things right after they already got our money which gives buying direct from China a really bad name and good luck with SVBony if you receive a damaged or broken or wrong item you paid for. At least Sky Rover in China takes care of their customers based on my own first hand experience dealing with them on a warranty issue.

I am not personally affiliated with Sky Rover nor do I receive any compensation from them for posting this honest review based on my own first hand experience.

I paid regular price plus shipping for all of the SRBCs I purchased from this website.

Very high-performing optics, a pleasure to use. Let's hope the mechanics hold up well over time too.

Short story... customer service A+, shipping A+, binocular A+.

Long story... I placed my order with SkyRover and within 48 hours received an email that included not just a Pass inspection report on the mechanics and optical collimation, but a 10 second video of the 8x42 banner cloud binocular that was to be shipped out. In my 20 years of ordering products from Germany, India, and China I've never experienced this level of detail before shipping.
Binocular arrived 6 days later in Kentucky. First light that night (that rarely happens!) along with my much loved Nikon Monarch 7 8x42. I'm an amateur astronomer first and a bird watcher second. Objects that night were comet A3, milky way dust lanes, Andromeda galaxy, double cluster, and Pleiades cluster. The banner cloud binocular showed a brighter image, dimmer stars, more contrast, and a larger view than the Monarch 7. What was truly exceptional was the overall view. The sky rover reminded me of my favorite eyepiece, the 31mm Nagler. Extremely flat field and very comfortable to sit and gaze. As expected the edge of the field showed slight distortion.... but I've never seen any wide field optical system give pinpoint stars at the edge. Just like the 31mm Nagler.

I had the sky rover mounted on a tripod so the extra weight isn't an issue, and I will probably use my Monarch 7 for long birding walks.

But this banner cloud is a real keeper! I hope they manufacture an 8x56 banner cloud in the future.

I have several other pairs of binoculars, so when a friend recommended that I get a pair, I was skeptical, but I pulled the trigger on them. What makes them so special is the wide field! I live in a Bortle 7 area, but when I started using these binoculars with the filters - It was like a veil was lifted! Definitely helpful with locating DSO's and a pleasure to just play with. Highly recommend them!

I actually bought a Nikon Monarch M7 8x42 just because you stated it's superior to the Banner Cloud APO 8x42 which I currently own and NO it's not superior to the SkyRover. In fact the SRBCs are in fact IMHO optically superior compared to both of my Nikon Monarch HGs which I currently own.

I bought all 4 of the SRBCs and honesy feel they're the best affordable made in China Binoculars that money can possibly buy second to the ScoopX UHDs a close second value wise.

I also own all 7 of the Swarovski NL Pures including their brand new 52s and there is a reason they cost $3000.00 more money than the SRBCs it's their glass.

I sell ScoopX UHD binoculars for $115 plus shipping but if you can afford to pay for the Banner Clouds I say go for it.

I also and have a subreddit binocularsadvice check it out
