from 44 reviewsOrdinato 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.
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 am extremely happy with these binoculars. Communication and delivery were excellent. The binoculars are comfortable in the hand, optically very impressive. Stray light/glare/CA control issue is second to none, and far better than premium-price binoculars I have owned. Optically they remind me of Nikon EDG 8x42, but with much wider Field of View, and much brighter. My pair have perfectly-operating focus and diopter controls, smooth operation and no slack. Highly recommended.
The SRBC 8x42 is a joy to use, whether for terrestrial observing by day or astronomical observing at night. Its huge FOV, flatness of field, edge-to-edge sharpness, knife edge field stop, and brilliance of color saturation combine to make for a wonderful viewing experience. These binoculars met and exceeded my expectations.
The best eyepiece. Excellent quality and huge field of view.
These binoculars let you see about twice the number of stars as you see with your eyes alone. And they provide a very wide view, so you don't get lost. They're also a good way to monitor the sky for satellites. They are sturdy and easy to use.
While you hold the binoculars, you must take care not to touch the objective lenses. There's not much to hold onto, and your fingers can get in the way.
My binoculars arrived 9 business days after ordering. However, Sky-Rover's tracking information was not correct.
Although I already had quite high expectations from these binoculars because of my experience with other Sky Rover products, having tested this unit over the few days I have to admit that it is a quite exceptional product of excellent quality. The first impression one gets is the huge field of view, which is displayed in brilliant sharpness and brightness from edge to edge with no signs of chromatic aberration. The binoculars have very little tendency to veil even in sharp backlight. Focusing is completely smooth with no play in the focusing mechanism. However, I would also like to highly commend the perfect collimation of both lenses on my sample, as I am very sensitive to even a small miscollimation and am always concerned about this with any binoculars where I cannot test and choose from multiple pieces.
The overall service was excellent, delivery via FedEx was a matter of few days. The packaging and presentation of the product is top notch.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sky Rover for this amazing device and for their great service.
