What is your opinion on this bino?

Post by toolkit »

I saw this selling at Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007U ... oding=UTF8

I know that newcomers to stargazing are recommended
to use 10x50 bino.

But is it possible to use a 12x60 without a tripod?

my only concern with these binos is whether are they well collimated? Price low is one thing, but if it is out of collimation, it can be a pain.

There is a Celestron OCeana and Fujinon WP-51/50 waterproof bino. I like them.
