[3.9 oz / 110 g] Was surprised at how light weight these were! Nice,clear optics also. Easy to adjust and fun to use! M R Ducks!

[3.9 oz / 110 g] I bought this for use of a Meade angled spotting scope. it handled the weight very well. For the price you will be satisfied.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Fits good and looks great.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] If you are in the market for a small binocular with top-of-the-line performance this, is it.


I have several old binoculars a Meade 7 x 50 porro, a Tasco 10 x 25 and Bushnell 10 X 25 and which like me were getting are old.

A friend recently became interested in bird watching and I did the research.  As I live in the Houston area and at the edges of both the Central and Mississippi migratory bird flyways in the U.S. and live on a large tract of land, I have the opportunity to see a lot of different birds. 

As my old Meade was becoming harder to focus, I looked at the current market of ED binoculars and saw the Celestron NatureDX 8 X 42 model.  Like many reviews it is fantastic binocular.  I also decided to replace my small truck binoculars with something better than the Tasco 10 X 25 or the Bushnell and found the Hawk Vantage 8 X 32 model and I ordered it.  I also gave some thought to the Hawke Endurance ED model and almost sent an email to B & H to change out my order but I didn’t.

Upon arriving I did a comparison of the Celestron NatureDX against the Hawke Vantage.  I cannot see the difference between the two.  I can clearly see the difference between the Vantage the Tasco and the Bushnell. So, I drove out to the coast to look at the coastal shore birds.  The Vantage is a very good binocular.  It is lite, well built, easy to focus, very good light and for an eye glasses wearing person like me it has great eye relief.  I don’t see how the Vantage Endurance could be much better. 

The Vantage is great binocular.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Holds my nose heavy Celestron Ultima 80 spotting scope steady and secure on a table top or bench top. You can tighten small traverse and angle elevation tension screws to eliminate excess play in the mount. Black crackle finish on cast legs. Best lowest cost tripod I've found.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Fit perfectly! Mounted 3 X 9 Vortex Diamondback scope to a Ruger 10/22. Rubber pads protect the scope from getting scratched.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Great for installing on long action rifles were the average scope tube makes it difficult to mount a scope rewards to adjust eye relief.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] I wanted clarity for all distances, ease of use, close up focus (within 4 ft - I can focus on and magnify the ground at my feet while standing!) as well as far distances, not to heavy, easy and quick to sweep gaze and change focus at� where I'm looking, solid feel, end lens covers that don't fall off, able to use with/without eye glasses, nice grip in B hands, no fall out at the edges of vision. This has it. Hard case great, light. Well designed binoculars. I'm no expert. I did not want to spend over $150. I scoured reviews and best of this year and that - much information, but I wrote down what they said I should try and get. The 8x magnification is perfect with the lighter weight than 10x. I am a slight woman in 60's, the regular neck strap seems fine. I have no idea what the ED does compared to others but the light, focus and clarity is great in these. I am an artist and visual clarity means a lot to me.� B & H were excellent, replied to email question within a day, shipped by express which was 'free.' No complaints.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Works fine, but need to be careful about how you install it. Check it with a level.

[3.9 oz / 110 g] Fits good and looks great
