8x42/10x42/10x50/12x50 APO Binoculars

Bought three of them on the first order since their 10x50s were out of stock at the time and ordered it after I noticed them in stock again and now I have all 4 of these Banner Cloud APO models which I am extremely happy with all of them.

The closest Binoculars that can be compared as optical equivalents or at least close to them are the Vortex Razor UHD 8x32 and 10x32 and SIG ZULU 9s and 10s and the higher premium Maven B series made in Japan but none have such wide angle FOVs as these Banner Cloud APOs not even close. You need to buy Swarovski NL Pures in order to even come close to these gianormously wide FOV Banner Cloud APOs.

Of course the Swarovski NL Pures are a little sharper and appear better built but you are paying a $3000 premium for them. I also bought SIX Swarovski NL Pures so I compared them and the Banner Cloud APOs have wider FOVs and more than good enough glass quality. In fact I don't use my NL Pures as often as I use these Banner Cloud APOs to be honest.

I think they're actually really affordable at $500-$600 for these based on actual performance.

The outsudes if their boxes all says limited lifetime warranty.

I personally own more than 250 Binoculars and collect them as a hobby of mine after retiring. These Skyrover Banner Cloud APOs are way better than average and at least a step or two above the level of the Vortex Razor HD, Nikon Monarch HG, Maven B 1.2 and B6, Leupold BX5 Santiam, Zeiss Conquest HD, Burris Signature HD, and about the same level optically compared to the SIG ZULU 9 and Maven B2 but without the noticeable chromatic aberration and with massively huge FOVs you have to see to actually believe it.

I honestly have NO IDEA why anyone in their right mind would ever want to return these for a refund. There's nothing under $1000 that even comes close to these.

Read my reviews on my subreddit I recently started binocularbuyinadvice

I actually sell ScoopX UHD 10x42s for $100 and will say to everyone to buy these Banner Cloud APOs if you can afford the extra over the ScoopX UHDs which I sell.

This company Skyrover I paid full regular prices for all 4 of their Binoculars and they haven't offered to pay me any commission or compensation to say what I say which I state is facts. I don't even sell Skyrover Banner Cloud APOs and only sell cheaper ScoopX UHDs for $100 and am recommending to pay the extra money to buy Banner Cloud APOs if you can afford to. They are clearer and nicer to look through. The $100 ScoopX UHDs compare to $600-$700 Binoculars while the $499-$609 Banner Cloud APOs $1200-$1500 Binoculars.

I actually use the Skyrover Banner Cloud APOs every day now to compare to other Binoculars to test how great they really are alongside the ScoopX UHDs.

I collect Binoculars as a personal hobby of mine and actually use Binoculars on an everyday basis. I also own several Swarovski NL Pures and the Banner Cloud APO 10x42 and 12x42 I so far purchased and received are absolutely superb. I'd say they are the best made in China Binoculars money can possibly buy at the moment and are actually worth paying full price for IMHO. Their field of views are noticeably wider than my Swarovski NL Pures and the image quality is surprisingly good. I think you have to spend more than $1000 from other brands in order the compete with these Banner Cloud APO just on image quality and their ridiculously wide field of view is a huge plus. The $3000 difference between these and the Swarovski NL Pures is in their glass and a step up in build quality but these Banner Cloud APOs seem to be very good quality almost like Japanese or European type build quality first impression. I ended up ordering all 4 of them after being so impressed with the first two I bought and received. There are 5 levels of eyecup adjustments too. When you actually handle them, you might even think they're made in Europe or Japan if you didn't know they're made in China. I have no regrets buying them directly from Skyrover in China and highly recommend trying them for yourself if you're in the market for a top quality $500-$600 Binoculars and actually get way more than your money's worth. Closet Binoculars I currently have are the new Vortex Razor UHD 8x32 and 10x32 at $1449-$1499 but the Banner Cloud APOs are better IMHO and are also clearer than my Nikon Monarch HG 10x42. The only thing I'd like to see is a smaller lighter weight 8x32 and 10x32 version of these with super wide FOV as well. I'd most definitely buy them instantly if and when they become available. This is just my own personal opinion because I was completely blown away by these first two. Stunning unbelievable fantastic. I also own a lot of Japan made MAVEN B series, Vortex Razor UHDs and SIG ZULU 7s, 8s, 9s and 10s among lots and lots of other brands as well and the Banner Cloud APOs are WAY better than their price suggest.

I have used the 12x50 Banner Cloud binocular, and I am definitely impressed by its optical performance: Very bright and wide field, high sharpness over most parts except for the outermost 10%, good stray light suppression, low chromatic aberration. The focussing mechanism was smooth and accurate. Overall, I think that the optical performance can be regarded as high end, whereas construction, ergonomics, haptic are on a level that is adequate for the price. So I give it 5 stars for having the opportunity to enjoy excellent optical performance at a reasonable price.

Another reviewer has criticized the size of the eyecups. Sky Rover may consider to offer optional eyecups of tapered shape for users who observe without glasses and whose noses get in the way when using the original wide eyecups. Another user has complained about reflections when observing the moon. Although the photo shown there appears overexposed, I would nonetheless suggest Sky Rover to take a closer look into that sample and to carry out their own evaluation of the problem.

These are a below average binocular from China with very mediocre build quality and optics. The eye cups are HUGE at almost 48mm in diameter and are obviously designed for Asian facial structures.

For comparison, a Swarovski EL 8x32 eye cup is 38mm. These remind me of the long dead Zen Rays that were the craze of the low-end Chinese binocular market years ago. A Nikon M7 or even an M5 has much higher build quality than these and much better optics.

All these 5-star reviews are unbelievable, but I guess it is understandable because they delete all reviews below 5-stars, so read this quick and save your self some money and aggravation by not buying these.

This binocular shall come with a sticker "Don't look on Moon". There is a lot of a rainbow light dispersion artifact and the glare control is not sufficient in a 9 degree circle around the Moon. Customer service calls this normal. The binocular excels in star and daytime observation, you will appreciate the clarity of the picture, accurate colors and enjoy the wide field. Also, it belongs to rare binoculars with enough correction past infinity even if you have significant myopia.
