These binoculars did awesome while elk hunting. They work good up close (300-500 yards) Takes a sec with the 16 power to find what you are looking for. Anything outside of 500 yards is amazing. Spotting movement out to 000 yards with the ability to positively identify the animal. Hunting in Colorado. Bought a second set that are 10 power for smaller open space hunting.
also have the Canonxs amp Zeiss stabilized and these are by far the best bang for the $$. I use these as my long range primary go toxs . I have not touched any of my other stabilized binos since buying these. Excellent clarity, Compact/Lightweight, Durable enough for backcountry and I have yet to change the battery after over 50 hours of use amp 5 rugged hunts. Just need to develop a better field case like the one I made (if folks plan to carry sets)...
Absolutely outstanding. It’s like having a spotting scope on a tripod all the time. I have glassed in a running vehicle with zero vibration in the image. I see this taking over the optics world
I have a genetic condition called familia tremors which causes my hands to shake slightly. It doesn’t really affect my daily life but makes glassing incredibly difficult. I have started using tripod mounted scopes or binoculars just so I’m not touching anything and causing vibration. The Zulu’s have changed my glassing ability. They are so stable I can even glass one handed. Absolutely best tool I have added to my hunting gear in years. These are a must have!
We had 50MPH winds with rain, high in the mountains, trying to identify a target with a spotting scope was impossible as the front of the lens would fill in seconds. Yet with the Zulu you could be on target within a second ()and a clear view at 0x) and get a good stable look before even the Zulu would be overwhelmed by water. But at least it allowed us to proceed throughout the day. Had it not been for the Zulu, we would have had to go home and it would have ruined the trip. Won’t go without the Zulu ever again.
Given the circumstances, photography was not possible.
gen 1 and they are nice. the gen 0x is awesome neither has undergone a feild cold weather outing so the durability i cant speak of. sitting on patio biird watching a 5 star for gen .
