Hey cruisers always say we unbox our new set of binoculars so these are the US
camel compact 10 by 40 to military HD professional army green binoculars so
why do we buy that well we're going to Alaska and one of the absolute essentials
as you know for Alaska is have a really nice pair of binoculars so ours were too
small and we weren't happy with the magnification they were cute little
travel size but we needed a few more features in our binocular so mr.
cruisetipstv got himself onto Amazon and bought these and of course we will link
to them in the description below for you if you'd like to check them out all
right so let's check them out I haven't actually seen them before
my husband has he opened the box and he's check them out so this is my
unboxing here we go oh there's something in it I must say a little strap or
something is that strap okay all right boy they really are military-grade I
have a nice little um device case it's totally you know what this case reminds
me of it feels like I'm like it really feels military-grade it feels like
something that would be like in my pack if I was in the army check this thing
out it's nice it's really nice all right opening all right here we go I want to
be really careful so we ordered another set whoa the little lens caps are coming
right off we ordered another set of binoculars that were going to like a
slightly smaller price range you guys from Amazon and they arrived broken and
we had to send them back so we spent a little bit more on this pair and decided
to kind of up our game so you want to see how big they are let's take a peek
all righty they are about six and a quarter inches
high by I guess depends on where you measure by about I'd say a little over
four and a half inches wide if that gives you a frame of reference so it
looks like they have cap from both ends let's remove both of those it's kind of
a hard thing to test isn't this let's just check out the other corner of my
house really quickly go ahead knit the right way and I looking at it really
felt like I was looking on backwards well they really need some adjusting
then because I was not seeing anything that's probably because I'm trying to
look at something 10 feet away so I think well
to risk looking ridiculous or any longer because this is not working out I'm
going to take them outside later this is kind of cool though so what makes these
special you guys a couple of different features number one they're fog proof
and of course when you're going somewhere like Alaska we were going from
a warm stateroom to a cold deck you probably want them to not fog too
much and we were having issues about before my husband said he also really
liked these little lens cap cover thingies underly know what they are but
he said they were great they are also wait for it waterproof which is awesome
because these little bad boys are going to be going with us rain or shine in our
day pack everywhere we go so one of the things we're going to be
doing in Alaska possibly is whale watching and I've heard that taking a
good set of binoculars is good for whale watching but then again I kind of feel
like I want my camera but when that moment happens so we'll sort of see what
happens can you think of any other features that I forgot in here if
they're light weight I did forget about that so they're only about 1.4 pounds my
notes here are saying that they're a magnesium alloy body light weight with
durable they are light weight I think 1.4 pounds
I wouldn't say these classified necessarily as travel size you guys but
you know they'll do the trick if you want quality you have to sacrifice
something so let's check out this little strap here see how it works you guys
know I'm not the MacGyver in the family I am NOT the tech person in the family
I'm rarely ever good with anything like this I don't even know if I want to try
but it looks to me like this strap somehow goes through this little area on
the side of the binocular here would you say that's accurate honey do you think
that all goes you guys this is like real unboxing real Sheree style not good that
could not possibly be correct because it just came out okay yes thank you husband
is going to take care of that later because I really have no idea what do
you I think worse what $60 at the time of purchase price can vary a little bit
far okay the original ones that arrived broke or I've broken that we set back
okay so what do you guys think about these does anyone own them if you do let
us know leave some notes in the comments below be sure to follow us on our other
