from 39 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've been able to use the eyepiece a few times now and am very satisfied with the sharpness, APOV, eye relief and build quality. It looks and feels quite solid.
The Sky Rover Banner Cloud 10x42 is so good that it is difficult to put in words but I will try. It has a 7.8° FOV which is incredible for 10x binocular and wider than many 8x binoculars.
The FOV is wider than the best and most expensive Swarovski binocular and has better edge sharpness, stray light control and almost no pin cushion distortion which again is better than Swarovski's best.
Depth of field, contrast and detail are on the same level or even better than the most expensive binoculars ever made. What Sky Rover did was optical genius and everyone who was involved in the engineering and design of this binocular deserves much praise.
Sky Rover Optics has been around since 2003 and is well known for their high end optics at reasonable prices and they have again produced another winner series with their Banner Cloud Binoculars. I see only great achievements for this company and wish them a very bright future.
Fits telescope.
Provides larger image circle.
Best optics I have ever had in a pair of Binoculars, and I have owned the top makes.
These are just as good without the expense, sharp to the very edge, gone now are the days you have to spend a fortune these will cost around 25% or less than the top makes .
