  • Extremely impressed
Size: 10X42
I have owned a lot of "budget" binoculars...Bushnell Legend's, Pentax's, etc. I am not an optics expert but I decided this year I would buy a high dollar pair of binoculars to upgrade. I decided I would buy Vortex Viper's, which are about $550. I thought they were a great value and the warranty unbeatable. I happened to run across a review for the Maven 10x42 binoculars so I thought I would do a little research. I spent the better part of a day researching online and slowly my decision changed. I have no way of knowing if these are better than the Vortex. I cannot compare them unless I take the Maven's to a store. That said, I suspect that these binoculars are the equal of Viper's. The look is classy. The adjustable eye relief is really nice with solid detent. The image is bright and clear (sorry, not up on all the technical term's for the glass). But let me just say that I was wowed by what I saw through these. They scream quality. The only thing I do not care for is the orange circle on the focus wheel (center knob). To me it looks like a sticker, although I believe it is actually painted. So to sum it up, I "think" these are every bit as good as the Viper's, which I believe are pretty nice binoculars. And I only payed $280 instead of $550. Quite a bargain I would say. Oh, and the warranty? Looks to be the same as the Vortex. I am quite pleased with them. ... show more

  • MAVEN C1 10x42 - Review and comparison with MEOPTA Meopro 10x42 HD
Size: 10X42
Clear glass edge to edge, easy to get focused on, just the right weight, body is easily gripped without the sticky rubbery feel. Other than the optical properties, I like the gray color of the Maven, it stands out from other binoculars with their usual green or blacks. The field of view at 314ft is reasonable for the price compared to NIKON Monarch 5 at 288ft, NIKON Prostaff 7s at 325ft, NIKON Monarch 7 at 351ft, MEOPTA Optica at 315ft and MEOPTA Meopro at 351ft. The MAVEN C1 10x42 I received is marked Japan, other units I have seen purchased by friends are marked Philippines. ========================================================================== Comparison between MEOPTA MeoPro 10x42 HD and MAVEN C1 10x42 ED: MEOPTA MeoPro Positives: 1. Clear and brighter glass. It is hard to quantify these parameter without comparing them to another binocular of similar class and price range, so I chose the MAVEN C1 10x42 ED to compare the MEOPTA with and I can say that the MEOPTA has a slight edge on the Maven. 2. Field of view is a bit wider than the MAVEN. 3. Body hinge is tight enough to hold its position, same tightness as the Maven. 4. Focusing knob is tight enough and make focusing fast. It is a bit less tight in comparison with the MAVEN. Both are good and acceptable, it is just a question of personal preference. 5. The MEOPTA Meopro 10x42 HD I received is marked ‘Assembled in Czech’. The MAVEN C1 10x42 ED is marked ‘Japan’. Other Maven C1 I have seen are marked ‘Philippines. MEOPTA MeoPro Cons: 1. Eye placement with the MEOPTA is very critical, one needs to position the eyes right at the center of the ocular lens, otherwise, it is easy to lose the image. It is like looking through a small long tube (say a straw), you can only see through when the tube is perfectly aligned with your eyes. It can be improved by adjusting the rubber eyecups by at least one position away from the ocular lens but this narrows down the field of view.. The MAVEN C1 10x42 is more forgiving with eye placement, I never have to tilt and move the binocular to hunt for the image. 2. There appears to be a lack of focus at about 5 o’clock position and about 2/3rd from center to edge of the glass. It seems to be right where the two circles of the left and right lens intersect. It is noticeable when looking through the center but when you shift your eyes to the blur area, it becomes clear. I have not seen any complaints of similar nature so I am not sure if it is inherent to the MEOPTA or if it is my eyes. I have not noticed this problem with the Maven. 3. The rubber armor of the MEOPTA has a more sticky feel than the MAVEN. 4. MEOPTA's tube diameter is smaller than the MAVEN's and it is less comfortable holding it for viewing. This will be especially true if the viewer has large hands. However, without direct comparison with the MAVEN, I guess the size and comfort level of the MEOPTA is good enough – it is a matter of personal preference. 5. The MEOPTA rubber eyecups have only 3 positions whereas the MAVEN has 4. 6. Most vendor websites including Amazon and OpticsPlanet state that the MEOPTA's body is made of Magnesium Alloy. However, the brochure that came with the binocular states that the body is made of Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy. ... show more

  • Stellar image quality
Size: 10X42
These are very good binoculars. They are very clear, the edges get a little soft, but not bad. Colors come through very true, they have a good image in all light conditions, and the build quality feels pretty solid. I compared them pretty extensively against the Nikon Monarch 5 and the Meopta Optika. Really they are all nearly equal, and there was nothing I could see with one pair that I couldn’t with another. The Monarchs were my least favorite, though that had more to do with the feel of them. The optical quality was very good, but it wasn’t to my eyes any better than the others, and they have the narrowest field of view of the three. I liked the build quality and especially the eye cups of the Optikas, and really wanted to like them more than the Mavens because of this. They did have a bit of a halo effect in some light, where the outside edge seemed a little brighter and a little fuzzy compared to the center. In the end, the Mavens had a little bit of an edge in image quality, mostly in the overall hue of the image, to my eyes. The Nikons had a bit of a yellowish tint to everything, which wasn’t bad, but was noticeable. The Meoptas has a bit of a yellowish tint too, but a little darker and more noticeable. This was more apparent in bright light, and in low light it was much less noticeable. Colors still came through clear with both, but it bothered me a little compared to the C1’s. The Mavens didn’t seem to have any tint at all, the image is just like looking with my naked eyes, only bigger. Very impressive. Overall I think the Mavens were the best of the three I tested and am very happy to have them. ... show more
