Good point on Zen Ray. You can add Styrka to the list as well. Common sense will tell us that a $75 binocular makes a good toy, nothing more.Years ago I followed the hype and bought the Chinese made Zen Ray binoculars. They were very good and I bought more and talked friends into buying them. EVERY single one eventually had to be returned for collimation until they went out of business and we now all have paperweights. I’m guessing the Zen Ray folks started a new binocular company with great hype and without the obligation of honoring the old warranties. I won’t be investing in the latest greatest Chinese crap again.
I believe the company went out of business so there won’t be any warranty I think it’s just a good binocular at a great price for someone who doesn’t need every last bit of detail and can’t spend very much money on Binos.Hotmail, why don't you put a whole bunch of those binoculars together and take a photo for us. Never heard of a hobbyist with a 200 piece collection.
Can't wait for the repair/warranty reports for these sub $100 binos. I bet it's a painless process, if there is a process.......
The specs say 341 feet at 1000 yardsAbout what I'd expect from a $70 bino. What's the FOV?
This is exactly right on what should be said about that style of optic. I’m sure you got exactly what you expected and there’s nothing wrong with that.I believe the company went out of business so there won’t be any warranty I think it’s just a good binocular at a great price for someone who doesn’t need every last bit of detail and can’t spend very much money on Binos.
I don't post pictures unless I'm selling anything which I am notHotmail, why don't you put a whole bunch of those binoculars together and take a photo for us. Never heard of a hobbyist with a 200 piece collection.

Very predictable. I believe about 10% of what you post.I don't post pictures unless I'm selling anything which I am not
This is spot on. Paper weights. Don’t be fooled people. These things are straight trash.Years ago I followed the hype and bought the Chinese made Zen Ray binoculars.

I paid 30 for my set. I have vipers too and feel the same way. If I see them at that price I’m grabbing them. Great for kids and loanersI am going to chime in since I picked up 4 of these on ebay for $45/pop. I also have some Viper HD 10x42s. Optically they are very comparable. For $45, I don’t care if the company went out of business. I am going to keep a pair of these in my vehicles and if they are broken or stolen, I won’t lose sleep.

They weren’t always $45. I think MSRP was $300+ before the company went out of business. I think the viper is a fair comparison. They are nowhere near my Kowa Genesis or my Leupold Santiams.No they aren’t.
Anyone who says stuff like that is disingenuous AT BEST.
A $45 pair of optics will never optically compare to ones costing several hundred $$.
They serve a purpose I suppose but they aren’t comparable.

I’ve been thinking about that for a while now. Is the “unconditional, no-fault, fully transferable warranty” actually good for the industry? It seems to me that all it’s done is move production to China and forced us to pay 3x the actual price for cheap products with an American logo. They dont even attempt to fix most returns, just send you a brand new box. There’s no way it’s a profitable business model to do that for very long without gouging hard somewhere.Hence the no warranty or support. Might be showing us what we are actually paying for when we are buying the Chinese produced optics.
