Got my tracking number today ![]()
me too! too bad shiiping takes a week from TX to OH
wow, ordered Saturday, mailed out yesterday, received today @ 5 pm. Ah the benefits of living in Texas. Hell, Iām just 1 hour away from WOOT headquarters, why canāt I just drive out and pick it up myself?
on another note, anyone knows how to work these damn things?
Just got mine todayā¦
Pros:
** Lots of magnification
** Definately worth $15
Cons:
** If you wear glasses, you bought the wrong binocs. You have to press these close to your eyes.
** Questionable image quality.
So I am very happy thus far. Maybe I am a bit steady-er than most folks, but I see no reason to use a tripod with these. For $15⦠I donāt see how you can go wrong. Great WOOT!
Iām in KS and got mine today too ![]()
Not bad all things considered, with the eyepiece, if you wear glasses the rubber can be flipped back so you can get a little closer.
My First Woot!
For those that missed them and are in an area that has Big 5 (Southern CA has them), theyāre advertising a pair that looks just like these from the same manufacturer for $16 from Sun-Tues. This would be a better deal if you can get to Big 5 because you wouldnāt have the $5 shipping, just a bit of sales tax.
look slike I may get mine today! I cant wait to compare them to a pair of my old binoculars I bought from a russian guy in Poland. They were 20*50 as well and i paid about $60 probably in 1998. they were good but very heavy
My tracking number said to expect delivery on Oct. 30, so I was delighted to recieve them yesterday. They are for a Nov.1 birthday, so I thought I might be sweating it, but they arrived in plenty of time!
Thanks, Woot. Thanks, FedEx.
just got mine! they are lighter and more compact then the russian model I had, the quality seem to be very good. I cant really test the optics as we have horrible weather at the moment. So far - looks like a good deal!
Just got mine today!! They are awesome. You couldnāt ask more for a $15 set. These are definitely quality binocs from the sweet image clarity and design.
Got 2 pairs today. One arrived with damaged, with the prism rattling around inside ![]()
Do I need to send it to the manufacturer or go through the Woot RMA department?
Iād try Woot first, I had a problem once and they took care of it promptly.
Just got mine today and was pleasantly surprised. Great Woot for $15!
My pair arrived today. Collimation, or optical alignment, is way off. Anyone else have this problem yet? How did you resolve it?
Swell. I bought 3 of these. Just unwrapped the first one to take to a friend.
Itās defective - one of the exit lens holders looks like it was forcibly screwed in at the wrong angle.
Iāll have to go over the rest when I get back, I donāt have any more time now. Urgh.
My are badly out of collimation⦠will see if Barska will do anything - then to Wootā¦
Same with mine. I have used binoculars quite a bit and these can only be used as a monocular. Will have to contact Woot to see what they can do.
How do I check? is there an easy way to see? Mine seem to be ok, but itās very hard to get them to form one singular image.
Follow the instructions provided, especially the first part. Because these are 10X in power, you need steady hands. I placed them on a counter to keep them steady to check if both sides are signted in by checking for proper allignment at a stationery object.
Iāve got it too. I really like it when the left eye is looking at the same thing the right eye is. duh.
