Customer Reviews

Very nice kit!
I was very happy with this purchase. The red LED light is very sturdy and gives off plenty of light (without blinding you). Also, I was surprised at the quality of the binoculars - everything I've observed has been crystal clear and free of any optical defects. The laser is fairly powerful, but it can be tough to spot if there is ambient light (like the moon). I had some trouble at first but it was related to the battery; always make sure you bring a few fresh batteries as this laser can drain them like crazy! Also, if the laser does not power up the first time, let go of the button, wait a bit, then fire it again. If this doesn't work, check your batteries.

Two out of three aint good
Laser was shipped to me in non-working order...
Flashlight had no batteries...
Binoculars seemed okay...
Contacted company to return item because it did not work and they told me I had to pay return shipping...
After a 20 minute phone call I finally convinced the supervisor to have fedex pick the item up, no charge to me....
Will never do business with Beach Camera again....
Charge is still on my card...

Excellent deal
This is a great buy and it complements a telescope very well. In fact you could buy this first and then if you find you are interested you could get a telescope and you will continue to use this package extensively even with your telescope.

Laser pointer works great in dark skies. The beam extends all the way to the star or object you are pointing to. However in light polluted skies don't expect it to work.

10 X 50 Binoculars have 7 degree field of view and are excellent to use with a telescope to locate the object you want to see and familiarize yourself with the immediate vicinity before looking through the finderscope of the telescope.

The flashlight is great to use at a dark site when you are walking around or hunting for something you may have dropped. For looking at maps, it may be on the bright side and I prefer the flash light with the 2 red LED's that has a dimmer switch on it.

All in all a great deal for the $49 I paid for it and it sees a lot of use.
