Sky Rover Banner Cloud 10x42 binocular review

[Firehawk]

I caved and ordered a 12x50 from Astronomics. Excited to put it through the paces,

Just got my 8x42. Initial impressions are awesome. Hopefully get to use them this weekend.

This new model from Sightron looks to be a rebranded Banner Cloud. Pretty interesting.

Initial impressions of the 12x50 are very favorable. Love the wide FOV and they feel solid. Looking forward to testing them over the next few weeks. I will report back, but impressed so far.

Glassing for some bears this morning. 8x42s are amazing. Never used swaros, but side by side with UHD 8x42s they clarity is close enough I can’t tell the difference and FOV is noticeably better.

I purchased mine from Astronomics. Shipping was immediate (received the same week, shipped to CA). The eyecups definitely seem like an issue to me as I just don't feel like they are fitting to my face well. I reached out to Sky Rover directly for the 44mm eyecups and they instructed me to go through Astronomics. I hit up Astronomics and a set of 44mm eyecups are on their way to me FREE!! Great experience and customer service so far.

I read somewhere that you can buy additional warranty on the SRBC , has anyone else heard of that ? If so what does it cost ?
