CarsonAdventurePak Containing 30mm Kids Field Binoculars, Lensatic Compass, Flashlight and Signal Whistle with a Built-in Thermometer (HU-401), Multicolor

The Carson Adventure Pak is a great birding kit for youth. The binocular is 5x30, which is good for birding and good for children. The lower magnification means less "handshake", and a more stable image. Also, this binocular is a smaller size which is good for younger hands. Most of the items in this adventure kit seem durable and well made. The cord for the binocular is thin, but seems sturdy. The only problem I have discovered so far, is that the thermometer on the whistle does not work. I bought two kits at the same time (one for each of my children) and both of their thermometers read 80 degrees at all times, even inside our home. I am not going to return these kits over a defective thermometer. My main reason for this purchase was to provide my children with a decent pair of binoculars, all the other stuff was just a bonus.Contents: Binocular (5x30) with flip-down eye cups and neck cord, whistle with built-in thermometer, flashlight, compass, lens cleaning cloth, and carry pouch for all items.Pros:The binocular works well and is sturdy.The flashlight works and seems sturdy enough for my kids.The compass is cool, and my kids have loved using it to find out which direction we are walking.The carry pouch is a MUST for children to keep all the items together. It is made of thin material, but I don't foresee my kids ripping or tearing it any time soon (they are ages 7 and 9).Cons:The thermometer doesn't work on the whistle (I bought two kits, and neither one worked).The carry case for the kit does not have a shoulder strap. It does have a loop for wearing on a belt and it has hand strap sewn down inside the main compartment of the pouch, but my children don't normally wear belts and the hand strap makes for a bulky nuisance hanging off the wrist when they are trying to bird-watch. It would have been better if the carry case had a shoulder strap.I gave this item 5 stars despite the two cons that I listed. This was a great purchase for my kids and they are each happy to own their first pair of binoculars. It was cool to see my son run to get his binoculars when he saw a large Cattle Egret land in our front yard this morning.I also purchased Fun With Nature (Take-Along Guide). This book combined with the Carson Adventure Pak will get any child on their way to discovering nature while having fun. I recommended both purchases!

This item arrived packaged securely, in great shape and is a perfect starter set. The binoculars require no adjusting and are clear. The compass works adequately and is a great beginner compass to learn how to properly use one. Instructions are packaged with the kit to teach proper use. The whistle is a cute addition to alert others and the thermometer works with Farenheit on one side and Celcius on the other. The flashlight, although small, is a perfect size for little hands and provides adequate light. I think that this is an awesome beginner set and it comes with a package to keep it all neatly tucked inside with a loop to attach to a back pack or belt. After seeing the set, I wished that I had ordered an extra set or two and recommend it if you will have other siblings or friends over to explore with your child.

My kid like it. Took it on a hike, he used the compass and he likes the whistle with the temperature on it. Binoculars are sturdy and usable for 7yr old.

My kid loved this. The focus on the binoculars in non-existent. You do see something moving when you turn the knob but nothing actually happens to the focus, so -1 star for that. And -1 star for it being grossly overpriced for the quality.

Cheesy as expected for the price but the three to six year olds loved it. Compass works fine and the field glasses are of slightly better than expected quality.

Bought this as a gift for a child who was more excited about it than I thought they would be. Working flashlight (you supply batteries), compass and optics, they couldn't get through the packaging fast enough to make a new adventure, well as much adventure a 9 year old can muster. Take note that these are toys and at the price point, I expected these to last shorter than it will take you to read this review, and to my surprise I was wrong as this is a 3 month late review (this was a holiday gift). Great to see a child explore and use thier imagination instead of being entertained by something on a screen for once. So if you have a young adventurous youth this is a fine way to get them involved with something that doesn't have a control pad.

I gave this five stars instead of four because they are toys; everything in my grandson's set works and reasonably well. I would not want to stake my like on them but if I was in a situation they were all I had I would trust them. The compass works and is true, the binoculars are about as hight a power as a young child can hold steady, the flashlight works but I think is the least durable of the items in the set, the whistle is loud enough to be a life saver and the thermometer works and is fairly accurate. Most important my four year old grandson loves them.

I bought this for a gift for a little boy who likes to hunt and be outdoors. He loved it!

Comprei de presente para meu neto de nove anos e ele amou.

El producto llegó mucho antes de la fecha establecida, en perfectas condiciones, funciona a la perfección y el plástico con el que está hecho es muy resistente. Enhorabuena al vendedor.

Dieses Set habe ich für meinen jüngsten Sohn gekauft (4Jahre), er ist begeistert. Da ich Ihn öfters mal zum wandern mitnehme wollte er auch seine „eigene“ Ausrüstung haben. An sich kommt das Set gut verpackt an, daher eignet sich es auch als Geschenk.Das es keine Highend Geräte sind sollte klar sein, aber für den Preis ist es dennoch Top. Fernglas funktioniert gut und ist gut verarbeitet. Der Kompass ist auch zu gebrauchen, er funktioniert und man kann sich orientieren. Die Taschenlampe ist auch gut, hat eine LED drin und leuchtet ausreichend den Weg aus.Im Großen und Ganzen ist es ein echt cooles Set. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
