Review: Superior bird watching binoculars - I purchased this product after many hours of research about internet recomdations, types and quality of binoculars, their purposes, and their prices. My goal was to purchase binoculars which were affordable, very good quality, which were suitable to my overriding objective, a pair of birdwatching binoculars for my beautiful wife, who is over years young. Ultimately, this is the product I selected, and it arrived this morning --- time enough to wrap a Christmas in July (2020) message on the wrapping paper. She was thrilled, and after I got acquainted with the product, I was very pleased that the product met my hopes. It was perfect for my purposes. Incredibly sharp, bright colors and images, easy to use, and with a 2 meter minimum focus range so that she can closely view the birds who daily gather at the end of our front porch to feed. We could easily read car license plate numbers 60 yards away. I did not try further than that. Attaching the halyard (neck strap) was a bit of a challenge, but after viewing several on-line videos, it did get done successfully. I'm not the sharpest pickle in the barrow, but I did get it done. I need to say that these are not heavy binoculars. But my wife has not got a great deal of arm strength, and so she had some difficulty holding them steady. But, with an optional lbrace (through 3rd party suppliers) and with a tripod, both of which are possible with the product, she should be able to watch both the porch birds and those much farther away, any time she wants. I would absolutely buy this product again.
Review: Outperform their specs. Great for birdwatching! - I am very impressed by these binoculars. I had initially purchased the Wingspan Spectator 8x32, which unfortunately had a rather poor close focus at around 16 feet. I intend to use these often while hiking, where I often come across skittish creatures within 5-15 feet of me. I'd like to be able to get a better view with my binoculars, which I can gladly say these ProBirder's will do great with. While advertised to focus down to 2 meters or 6 feet, mine focus down to 4.5 feet! Probably won't be at that limit too often, but nice to have 8X magnification I can use up close. The controls are quite smooth. I prefer the small knurling on this ProBirder over the Spectator version. The knurling has a nice grip, so you'll be focusing with confidence. The optics appear quite sharp to nearly the outer edges of the field of view. I did notice a bit of blurring near the edges, but vastly superior to the much cheaper Spectators. I feel these strike a really great balance of quality vs cost. While you certainly can get cheaper binoculars, you can also spend quite a bit more. I'd love to compare these against a $1k pair and see how they stack up. I bet they'd do pretty well. In my case, these appear to be excellent quality, without breaking the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great binocular at a crazy cheap price.
*by J***. on April 18, 2019*

I took a shot with these & scored! I was looking for a more compact binocular when I came across these. The combination of features & low price was too good to pass up. I was skeptical at first, but after some research, I suspect that these are discontinued in the Wingspan catalog & would have originally cost much more than $69. Their specs equate to the ProBirder UltraHD in the current catalog & they sell for $135. Anyway, I am extremely happy with the performance of the Willow UltraHD 8x32. I have done a side by side comparison with my Nikon Prostaff 7s 10x42 & the Willow's appear to be their equal in sharpness, brightness & overall feel. The focus wheel is very smooth with no stiction or slop in the gears. The weight is just right for me. They have a good solid feel & enough weight to make them easy to hold steady. They are pretty quick to focus with a stop to stop travel of around 2 revolutions. The close focus distance is insane! When I am reclining with my legs extended, I can focus on my toes! Seriously! That's about 43 or 44"! This makes for a whole new use for these binoculars. Watching bugs & such right up close. Such fun! The objective covers are easy to put on & take off & stay out of the way when viewing. They come with a nice hard, molded case & a wide neoprene stretchy strap. The warranty for the UltraHD line is a no-fault lifetime warranty, so they will be replaced if you accidentally damage them. If you are looking for a quality binocular don't pass these up. The low price is not an indication of the quality.
