Meade DCS 7x18 Folding Roof Prism Binoculars

Bookmark
Product Description:

Get a better view whether traveling through a wildlife preserve, watching your favorite baseball team, or just surveying the neighborhood with these compact Meade DCS binoculars. Boasting a power of 7x and an 18mm objective lens design, the lightweight binoculars (they weigh only 4.1 ounces) are terrific for daytime viewing, though the small lens diameter makes them somewhat less useful when the lighting is poor. The binoculars also feature fully coated single-layer optics for clear viewing and a comfortable 10.5 mm of eye relief. More importantly, the field of view stands at 488 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards, with a near focusing distance of 15 feet. As a result, all but the most distant objects look crisp and vivid.

The binoculars don't offer a single focus control, but instead sport an independent focus mechanism on each eyepiece, giving users more influence over the final image--an especially nice feature for folks with vision impairments. And to ensure that the binoculars hold up to heavy use, Meade coated the housing with durable black rubber. The DCS binoculars, which measure 3 by 1.5 by 2.5 inches (W x H x D), come with a soft nylon carrying case, neck strap, and lens cleaning cloth. They're also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Beware2006-02-13
Watch out! These are made in China and mine had an inherent defect. The barrels are so misaligned that the combined image is a double. This can't be easily fixed, and Meade charges $20 for warranty repairs. Very disappointing that Meade would sell such trash. As an astronomer I have spent $$$ on Meade scopes, but will give serious consideration to Celestron now.

Over priced clearance item! $79?! Not even worth $15!2006-02-08
I bought this one because it's light weight (4.1 oz.). I was looking for a small binoculars for my 4-year-old son. With the original price almost $80, "It must be good!" I thought! I paid $15 during Friday Sale. I thought I got bargain until I received it today with huge disappointment. It's hard to focus by adjust each eye, hard to see clear with tiny small lenses. I felt tense after using it for a while, don't even mention my young son will know how to use it! My daughter has a Canon 8x23A, which is in very good quality and easy for kids to use. After doing some search, I found Meade outlet is selling this Meade DCS 7x18 on eBay for $7.95 with free shipping due to this item is a closeout! This binoculars will be good for watching plays, shows, concert, whichever doesn't require focusing too often.
