Anyone else have any experience with these? Bought some ‘for the lady’ as her $180 Bushnells are just .. not great

First thoughts from around the house - negatives

1. Eye cups are very uncomfortable. Not sure how they could slim these down, however I have a hard time imagining them being comfortable for anyone, ever

2. The diopter isn’t locking , and also very easy to turn… seems like could be an issue moving around (barrel diopter)

3. The focus Nob is light and fast.. not super negative just needs some getting used too


Positives

1. They do seem extremely crisp and clear.

2. Their FOV is very large indeed.

3. Very clear through the whole picture

Seems one has to get used to eye placement to avoid blackouts when trying ‘look’ at the edges without moving the binocular. The eye cups don’t help with this

They weigh a bit, it’s not horrible, and they are a big binocular. They feel dense but coming from Meopta B1’s not enough to make me think twice at all

Against my B1 10x42’s non-hd’s , picture clarity quickly seemed to favor the Sky Rovers. The field flatteners provide a focused image throughout for sure.

Not one to knock China or Asia in general. They are ahead alot of technology sectors and work hard to keep getting better

Curious if anyone else has tried these , reviews and feedback are fairly limited.

(Warranty is 3 yrs on them, they was CAD 790 shipped + $106 duty)
