That seems cheap if it’s Meostar glass... I’d love for a 10x50 and 12x50 HD.

Usually a pretty big difference between Meostar and Meopro glass pricing. If these have Meostar glass I'd be skeptical of that pricing chart. They may be right, but we'll find out soon enough I guess.

Their Facebook page has specs on Meopro Airs, except pricing. 29oz on weight. I'm thinking Meouro is a typo on their part

I spoke to Meopta directly. These are Optically identical to the Meostar B1 HD. It’s just a different design. Those are the right prices according to them.

All your info is correct. I will find out about the tripod adapter. I don't think about a tripod for bino's until I get past 12X, but I will see if the MeoPro Air has that capability.

Should be outstanding

Binos not on a tripod are fairly useful. Binos on a tripod are extremely useful.

Great! Thought I was done buying optics for a while.....

 

[shedfinder7]

tripod makes all binos, even 8 powers better! Tripod separate the good binos from the bad

22mm eye relief for the 8x42
I can't do contacts so this is very good news.

Will these be available in a 12x50?

No, just 8x42 and 10x42

Meostar B1 optics in an open bridge design, that gets my attention. Meopta has finally cleaned up the two biggest complaints with the Meopstar; weight and ergonomics. The Meostar's have awesome glass so as long as they didn't have to cut any corners to get the weight and price down, these will be superb binos. I think Meopta is looking to steal some of the $1,000 bino marketshare.

Super unfortunate...I would be in the market for the 12's if they were including them. I would think they would find a strong market among hunters with the new design but i'm not a marketing expert.

I must be on my own because I don't mind the way the current Meostar B1's look or feel. Had a fair session with them Sunday Afternoon just gone (B1.1 HD 10x42), felt nice in the hand, the weight felt fine and it was exceptionally windy while we were glassing for varmints. They for sure feel bomb proof. They are really clear and resolve detail well....though the glass on the Meostar HD's has rarely been a point of complaint.

I've owned the Meopta B1's for a few years. The ergonomics and not being able to wrap your hand around the barrel of objective lens took a little getting used too. I've always wished they were a few ounces lighter (that's the sheep hunter in me) but in the big picture the weight really doesn't hurt and probably makes them a little steadier in the hand. I think the new design is going to appeal to a more people. These should be very good sellers.
