Product Description
The best way to get closer to nature. The Gladiator zoom series offers the added advantage of enjoying multiple magnifications in a single binocular. With variable zoom, you can capture a panoramic view at low power, target in on your object and then zoom in to a higher power to capture the finer details. The zoom mechanism on the binocular is smooth and easy to operate with a flick of the lever. It's like having many binoculars in one! Versatility, convenience and tenacity put Gladiator in an arena by themselves.Backed by Limited Lifetime Warranty.

WHEN WE RECEIVED THESE BINOCULARS I THOUGHT I WAS BACK IN THE 50′S. TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED SO MUCH, HOW COME THEY STILL MAKE THESE GIANT SIZE THINGS. I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE BIGGER THAN THE AVERAGE ONES, BUT THESE ARE HEAVY AND GIANT SIZE. I KEPT THEM BECAUSE I ALSO LIVE IN JAMAICA AND I WAS THERE WHEN THEY WERE DELIVERED. WHEN I GOT BACK IT WAS TO LATE TO SEND THEM BACK. I WILL HAVE TO NOW BUY SOME MORE. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. THEY ARE ALSO NOT AS CLEAR AS I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED. BUT AGAIN LOOK AT THE PRICE. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

not worth it. Spend the extra bucks, however many they may be, and get something better. The pair I got were not collimated, and the right side zoomed while the left did not.

Inexpensive. Remember the song “Double Vision”? You may be singing it when you try zooming on a distant object. At this price level you might get lucky and get a good pair. I wasn’t lucky. They only give a clear, single view at the lowest zoom. Take a chance if you want, but save the receipt.

Bought these for my wife for the Trace Atkins Toby Kieth concert and she loved them no problems at all.

I like the Barska binocular’s. I purchased them to spot ships and tows approaching my job on a ferryboat. The veiw is good at medium to long distances, but often hard to focus at close and very far distances. Close distance is anything under 20 yards and far is anything over half a mile. They are used to read the names of the vessels approaching us. The lettering is usually 8″(tows) to over 2ft.(ships) in height.I ended up getting another pair for a co-worker and had the same problem with that pair and actually had to exchange it for another pair the focus was so bad. Overall I rate these as very good since I don’t need to see anything under 20 yards with them and my max distance is under half a mile for reading the names of the vessels.
