Leupold 6x30 BX-1 Yosemite, Water Proof, Porro Prism Binocular with 8.0 Degree Angle of View, Natural

2020-04-13T20:00:00

I'm not about to compare these to $300+ binos, but Leupold really did a great job on the BX-1. Optically they are very good for their price range. Yes the outermost edges of lenses are a little blurry, but the center is razor sharp and the image is bright. Good performance even in low light. The eye cups have been improved from the previous reviews and now stay put until you twist them which is great that Leupold is listening to customer feedback. The padded case and strap are very well done and really top off a great package. So overall if you are looking for a handy pair of binos with solid optics that won't break the bank, the BX-1 ticks all the boxes.

For hunting and observing wildlife and checking cattle and calves on farm. Very lightweight and easy to handle. Clarity is very good. Only thing I have trouble with is the eye pieces. Everytime I use the binoculars I have to adjust the eye pieces. They do not stay is place. This is very annoying. The twisting adjustment should be firmer to prevent this from happening.

Nothing compares to the quality of product and the quality of customer care. Used leupold for years. Wouldn't recommend anything else. These binos are no different. Great price and great piece of gear.

I bought these binoculars to upgrade from what I had and it was definitely the right choice. The clarity of these optics are tremendous.

Nice clear optic. I wish the eye relief adjustment had more definitive stops and the focus knob was a little smoother.

I use the 6 x 30 Yosemite for treestand hunting, duck hunting and boating. They are so light and efficient my expensive european binoculars usually stay in the safe! The small size means they are easily carried and used with one hand. The low power makes them easy to use in a moving boat, again with one hand. The good eye relief is a must for eyeglass wearers like me. They really are waterproof - have never had an issue with internal fogging, and hunting in western Washington means hunting in the rain. I was so pleased I bought my son a pair.

This has been an awesome pair of binoculars for the money. They have held up great and as Leupold states they work great for kids to look through given the size.

I've owner these Yosemite binoculars for probably 15 years. They were usually kept in my car or truck and didn't look pretty when I sent them in to get one eye push ring fixed. Leopold emailed me, then sent me a brand new pair within days of me sending mine in. I expected to pay for having them reconditioned and now I have brand new Yosemite binoculars! I use these for hunting, birding, camping, Sunday drives, everything. They are the clearest binoculars I have ever tried and I have owned and tried all of them. I wish I could afford their gun scopes, because Leopold is all I would ever buy. Don't waste your time with any other brand. And the fact that they HONESTLY do stand behind their product means the world to me. Its the icing on the best buttercream cake you will ever consume. :)

This set of binoculars have been in our family for some years now. They have been the intro of bino sets for those being introduced to hunting especially for the kids. They are clear and durable. We are yet to send them back to Leupold for any fixing.

Good binoculars but strap took over an hour to attach. Severe design flaw. One side was wider than the other. Had to toss the wierd swivel things that were impossible to use. They served no purpose. Binocs are fine as long as you don't care about the straps.

Our family with small kids uses these binoculars for general camping and sports. Our daughter is pretty small, and I am pretty big, but he intra-pupil distance adjusts well for both of us. Comes with a nice wide neoprene strap. Comes with a soft case, not a hard one. Comes with front lens covers that stay attached, but flip down when you use them. We are all very pleased with the quality and brightness. We all have eyeglasses and they allow us all to use them with or without glasses.

These binos combine sharp, clear optics and a relatively compact body with a good price. They are light enough to wear around your neck for extended periods of time yet are well-amoured. The binos are compact enough to fit in a small backpack or a LARGE coat pocket, yet have the ability to produce images that rival binos with larger objective lenses, IMHO. They work well with glasses and have a wide field of view. The images are sharp, bright, and clear. Despite the 30mm objective lens, they can work well for night time skywatching as well. I like the integrated objective lens covers as well as the supplied neoprene case. My only caveat is that sometime the focusing knob sticks a little when going from infinity to a closer object. I own more expensive binos, but these are my go-to pair. Very happy with purchase.
