Very light / good grip / clear view. I am pretty happy with the Predator Pro. I think the rain cover that is included could be better. it’s just a piece of cloth that covers the eye cups, I thought caps would be better. Over all a good buy if your looking for a good travel binocular!

These binoculars are really good for the price. I’ve read Steiner is the best and that’s what I wanted. Very pleased with color and clarity and simple operation, nice little carry case too!

Great optics and size for travel or to keep in you vehicle or to take with you hiking or biking. The only negative is, it would be nice to have larger sun blockers where you look through, this is one of Steiner’s trademarks that separate them from the field.

I am very happy with my Steiner binocular. They were exactly as described. They are small and light enough that they easily fit into my jacket or vest pocket. I got them for just that purpose. I walk daily and always carry them. They are rugged and well built. I love the double end cap feature. It makes them quickly available with out having to worry where you are going to put the caps with out loosing them. It also encourages you to use them which is good for the glasses too.
Here in New Hampshire most of my walking is in the woods which take me past a beaver pond. There is nearly always something that I want to see close up and the Steiners do the job. I have other binoculars which are fine to carry in a vehicle or boat. In fact their weight and large size make them easier to stabilize, but they are not much fun to carry around. I do find that I have to use a tree or some fixed object to keep my Steiners still. I did expect that and find their good points far out weigh that, the only bad thing that I can say about them. It is going to be a factor with any small and light weight binocular. It is simply a trade off for the portability of them. I would highly recommend them if your need is a great pair of binoculars to carry with you wether it be hunting, birding, or just for fun.

These are nice binos IF you can handle the very short eye relief of 10mm. I purchased these binos and they were not usable with that extremely short eye relief. Other than that one major flaw I was quite impressed with them. I was pleased to see that the the ‘predator’ optical coating doesn’t change the apparent color of a scene.
