Sky Rover Banner Cloud 10x42 binocular review

[4090Sharps]

Have you put the 6x on a tripod? I dislike narrow FOV so those are really interesting.

My problem is I LOVE the stabilized sig 10x30 as I hunt actively a lot. I also heard they are coming out with a 7.5x32 with 10*+ fov.

I may settle for my 10z Sig's + 15x56. I'm really tempted by the 6x as well but then I would be carrying the 6/10/15 and three binos is just too much.

Nope, they are shipping today. I'll give an update after I spend some time with them.

Thanks, I am wondering if those may be the least fatiguing / ultimate "sit behind all day and glass" binos along with bigger glass for detailed work.

I’m seeing 640ft @ 1,000y for the 12.2° FOV. If it handles the edges better than the Kowa 6.5 BDII’s I’ll be very interested.
I also use a similar setup. 8x on a lightweight tripod with 16x zulu’s for closer looks, rarely needing enough magnification to actually sit behind the 16’s for extended glassing at long range.

updated with 1000m figures (still using ft and sq ft for the final figures, but at 1000m). Kowa wins for area to weight ratio, but the FOV covers quite a bit less area.

My 6x32 binoculars showed up this afternoon. I've spent a grand total of 15 minutes behind them, and the only thing I can say with certainty is that I'm happy with my purchase. It's too early to say a whole lot more than a layperson's first impressions, which are:

• They're relatively heavy, but I knew that going in.
• For my eyes, they're easy and comfortable to get behind--I was worried I might find them position sensitive.
• FOV is massive and appears usable throughout the image.
• Focus is quick and easy, image is crisp.

Really thinking of those 7.5s. I imagine that 10.4* is plenty of FOV and I may benefit a touch from the more mag.
