After my recent visit to Jim Corbett nation park, I realised what I missed in absence of binoculars. I started looking for good binoculars and short listed celestron and Nikon. But after reading reviews I found that budget binoculars from these brands were slightly fragile with loose parts.
First and foremost, quick zoom test 🙂
Then after some research, I came across vanguard brand. I found Vanguard orros 10×42 waterproof model available on a e-retail site. I bought it at 5760 INR from Amazon India. I was little unsure of product. But as soon as I opened packaging I found a sturdy made binoculars.
Initially, I struggled to get the right view, but after a quick walk through of manual I adjusted diopter, focus and angle to get clear crisp view. I find it full value of money and will surely enjoy my next trip with it.
