About this deal

The twist-up eye-cups on this instrument are about as comfortable as most others out there, so not too much to expand on here. All you need to do is remove the dust cap on the front hinge by unscrewing it. Then you can simply screw in a standard binocular tripod adapter. The twist-up eye-cups turn just a little too easily for my liking. So whilst twisting them up is no problem, they do have a tendency to twist down again if you don't have them fully extended. Carson's 10x42 RD Binoculars combine powerful magnification with a comfortable ergonomic chassis to produce an optic that is an ideal choice for the trail, range, stadium, or boat. Carson's XM and XM-HD Series Binoculars also include many high end features and components. these include phase corrected roof prisms. All but one model also have their own "HD optical coating technology" that Carson says significantly enhances the light gathering capabilities of the XM-HD™ Binoculars for an even brighter, sharper images in low-light conditions.

So whilst I like it that they make it super easy to adjust your setting, It is a little overkill and makes accidental movement of your preferred setting more likely. The diopter adjustment wheel that you use to calibrate these Carson RD 8x42 binoculars is fairly typical, apart from the fact that it has two fairly large tabs on both sides of the ring. As I mentioned in the optical performance section and I think is something that follows through to the binocular as a whole: Indeed the only parts showing on these are the two hinges and small sections of the eyepieces that are exposed when you twist up the eye-cups.

distortions in the view that can occur like bending or curving of the image. Once focused on an object, image sharpness remained consistent from the center of the view right up to the edges.

Suceess was mainly down to their focus on innovation, which helped Carson compete effectively with much larger industry competitors and this overall philosophy is still what drives Carson today. The case comes with it's own detachable shoulder strap and it also has a very comfortable hand strap that I really like. Excellent Focus Wheel - Looks great, silky smooth operation, well positioned, nice and large and plenty of grip However unless you are really planning on exposing yourself and your optics to the extremes, this should not be much of an issue for you. I just added it as many people ask what the difference is between cheap and more expensive binoculars and this is one of them!Thus if you have the at a mid point and push them reasonably firmly against your face they do give and you find that your eyes get closer and closer to the oculars.
