Review: Great bins for the money - Nice solid pair of binoculars. Clear, sharp. Feels well balanced. Nice rubber grip. All the reviews I read said it was as good as thousand dollar pairs, and I couldn't contradict. The harness bag is a nice plus, and fits well over the shoulders although the strap configuration is a bit hard to figure out at first. The only knock I have on them is that for my eye prescription, left eye nearsighted, right eye farsighted, the difference was too much for the diopter to account for. Which is strange, because I can make it work on my cheaper Celestron Nature DX. But as I mostly use one eye or the other anyway, and I have a new pair of glasses coming, this is not a deal breaker. And would not be an issue for most people. I went back and looked at my instructions from the Celestron, and even they say you may need to wear your glasses if your prescription is nearsighted. Indeed, with glasses, the Vortex diopter works just fine -- I just don't like the extra fringe light that lets in. anyway, I am happy with them and would recommend for the price.
Review: Buen prismático - Los recomiendo, son magníficos. Exteriormente se aprecia que son unos binoculares de calidad. Lo más destacable es la comodidad de uso. En buenas condiciones de luz se ve con la misma claridad que prismáticos de menor precio. Tengo unos Nikon que me costaron 190€ y casi no se aprecia la diferencia en la calidad de la imagen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a truly significant difference between the Viper and, say, Monarch 5 binoculars in terms of quality?**
A: I am not familiar with Monarch but I can tell you that Vortex quality, both build and optical, is top notch..their warranty is also great! They say simply 'if it’s broke we want to fix it, we don't care where you bought or how it got broken we'll fix it free'. Even if you bought at a garage sale they'll still fix it. As far as optics the only thing I’ve found that I thought was better was Swarovski but at $4000 they were out of my budget.

**Q: Do they still come with a lifetime warranty?**
A: Yes, they do.  If you watch the video that is on the Amazon page, they state at the end that they are covered for a lifetime warranty.

**Q: Does this come with case and strap?**
A: Yes.  Neck strap and shoulder strap.

**Q: Are this pair suitable for viewing aero show performance besides bird watching?**
A: Hello, Id go for the lower magnification for that.  With the aircraft moving so fast it may be hard to keep the focus as fast as they are, but it is doable.
