POLDR 12X30 Compact Binoculars with Large Eyepiece, Small Lightweight Binoculars for Adults Kids, Pocket Mini Binoculars for Bird Watching Traveling Opera Sports Games Sightseeing

I ordered the POLDR 12X30 Compact Binoculars with Large Eyepiece, Small Lightweight Binoculars for Adults because I needed an inexpensive, small binocular to keep on my golf-garden cart. I like to view my bluebird's activities while I am out gardening. I was amazed at the quality of the product, plus the viewing distance I am able to identify my bluebirds from quite a distance. I recommend the product highly. Thank you POLDR team

The larger eye piece delivers larger images, which are crisp and clear. Alittle loss in light transmission compared to more expensive binoculars, but overall, images are bright. Super compact makes it very pocket-friendly, and the simple sleek design is nice welcome. Definitely, it stand out having larger eyepiece compared to other binoculars of the same compactness but having smaller images.

These are very compact binoculars. Folded up they fit in a case only two by two-and-a-half by four inches. I weighed them at just a hair over six ounces.Overall I judged the mechanics to be adequate. Thankfully there is a metal frame. The closest I could get them to focus was about eighteen feet—not bad. My pair consistently made a faint noise when adjusting the focus. There is a separate diopter adjustment for the right eye—it does not lock into place, so it may have to be readjusted frequently. It works, however, and I was glad to see this crucial feature. Unfortunately there are only marginal “eyecups” to block peripheral light, so occasionally I would pick up reflections bouncing off the back lens.Optically they are not bad for such a low cost pair of binoculars. Not bad at all. The best focus and definition is found in the center of the field of view, and it deteriorates rapidly toward the edges. They fared poorly for low light observation, which I expected due to their small objective lenses limiting light gathering. But they were possible to use indoors in normal to slightly dim room lighting.They are marked and sold as being “12 x 30.” Normally that would mean twelve power with a thirty millimeter objective (front) lens. I measured these lenses at just twenty two to twenty three millimeters, or a bit less than an inch. The only way I could get anything near thirty millimeters was to measure the outside of the tube, not the lenses (just over 29 mm).I tried these binoculars at night watching a full moon. Details on the lunar surface were visible and reasonably clear. But given the light weight, coupled with what is stated as a twelve power magnification (I have no way of measuring this), it was hard to keep them from being shaky.I also tried them during the day, looking at my neighbor’s wooden house trim. Very impressive. I could clearly make out not just the nails, but the cracking in the paint. Nice, and it shows how binoculars with small lenses perform at their best in bright light.These are not the sort of binoculars you would want to look through for long stretches of time, because eye fatigue quickly sets in. But they are fun for casual use, and they are good enough to help you pick out distant details. They might be a good choice for older kids to mess around with, as they are functional and budget friendly. Very budget friendly.

Perfect for bird watching

This is a TOTAL WASTE of money. I was trying to upgrade my old Simons 8x21 which is extremely similar in size and overall construction to this one. This is NO WAY 12x30.The magnification is NOT 12 ... is at best 8 as on the old one. An additional x4 on magnification should be really easy to see, right? And it is clearly not there.The lens size is NOT 30 ... is the same exact measured size as the old 21. And that measurement using a Mitutoyo Digimatic device comes up to be 21mm.My advice is to look at another brand as this one practices false advertising.

I have never encountered this problem with binoculars before, but I cannot get the left eye to focus. The right eye, which is adjustable on the eye cup itself, can be easily made to focus properly for my poor eyesight (diopter -7.75 or perhaps worse), but the left eye, which is only adjustable using the center focus wheel, cannot QUITE be made to focus for my eyes. It gets pretty close, but when you're using both eyes (binocular vision, as it were), it's disorienting and annoying to have one in-focus and one out-of-focus. But that center wheel definitely does not turn any further! Otherwise, it seems like these would be great binoculars--better magnifying power than other pairs I have--and maybe they're fine for events where the stage is closer or whatever, but my experience at the handful of events where I've tried to use them is, they cannot be properly focused for my eyes.
