Customer Reviews

good for the $4
These binoculars are lightweight and well made.
Excellent optics but field of vision is limited due to small size.
Good for sporting events, theater or getting visually close to
anything that can be first found with the naked eye.

Where price, style, value and portability meet!5
Olympus Roamer is a great choice for anyone who is looking to get a decent pair of binoculars that is portable, provides good performance and will not burn a hole in their wallet.

The Good:

Compatible: Great for sporting events. It will not take up a lot of space.

Stylish: Silver-style finish gives it a sleek look.

UV-Protection: It claims to give you UV Protection. I'm no UV expert, but I'm guessing its a good thing.



The Bad:

Doesn't provide the advanced features of the deluxe binoculars, but it is still a great bang for your buck.



Bottom Line: A great set for those who are looking for their first pair of binoculrs for sporting events, opera shows and other short-medium range close-up viewing. While these are a great for recreational activities, these will probably not going to be an ideal buy for the professionals.

Just right for hiking4
Pluses: small, lightweight, inexpensive.

Minuses: dim, surprisingly bad optics.

Understand that when you buy glasses this cheap, small, and light you're not getting premium optics. The barrel distortion (off-center straight lines appear curved) is very pronounced. But for hiking these are just right. The outdoor light overcomes the problem of dimness and, really, who cares about distortion? To be able to carry something this small and lightweight and not care if something happens to it outweighs the downside. It doesn't look very tough so I'm carrying it in a little plastic box.
