If you want something for every day bird watching, distance viewing, or hunting from a blind, then this is a great choice! A deck or window with a big wide hillside view is the perfect place for the Nikon A211 10x50 binocular.
For me, it's a little bit bigger than I'd want to carry while hiking or hunting, but that bulkiness also provides a clear and reasonably bright image compared to many other binoculars in this price range. It's a full size frame, and probably wouldn't survive a fall more than a few feet. As with all binoculars, those long objective lens housings are famous for getting knocked out of alignment. For walking and active watching or spotting, it would certainly be better to go with a compact binocular. If you do carry these, a neck strap or a chest pack would be the way to go. A wrist strap would get heavy and the bulky size would become an issue.
The optics are bright and clear. The edges of the image are not clouded or fish bowl distorted like cheaper binoculars. The distance focusing is better than expected at this price range, and I'd recommend these as a standard for daytime viewing. The clarity and image color might not make the hair on your neck stand up, but if you've never used an extremely high quality binocular, these might give you the shivers. lol..
A true 10 power binocular of this quality, is well worth $120-$150 to a serious user, especially if you're using them according to their intended purpose. You would pay a lot more for this quality of image with other brand names. Though 10 power can be handheld, it's about the upper limit of a handheld. A tripod notably improves image stabilization at 10x. As a rule I don't like trying to hold anything over 10 power in my hands, so that makes the Nikon A211 10x50 binocular my number one recommendation, for best all-around daily use, and for people with steady hands.

Good product, but is it a used item?
Looking at an unboxing video online, the binoculars should have come wrapped in plastic, with hand strap not assembled and tripod mount it a small box cradled neatly with the binoculars. I had to double check the listing to see if I accidentally ordered a used item, and there is no indication that I did. It came in a box that was somewhat carelessly opened (torn tabs), no plastic wrap, and all four external lenses had smudges. The neck strap was already mounted. It came with a tripod mount that was loose and separated from it's box. I cleaned it, tried it out, and the images are excellent. It is a gift, however, so I am forced to return it.Update 3 days later: I sent this back and already have a replacement in a clearly new box. The return process was so easy; this is why I love Amazon.
