It does everything the bigger binoculars do but is easy to transport. I actually purchased these 10×24 binoculars for a Justin Timberlake concert my son and I were going to. Fantastic cost, brand name top quality, totally free shipping, pleased customer. I personally use them for watching birds feeding on my little porch so required a concise and close focusing binocular. Even attempted strapping them down overnight with rubber bands to loosen the rubber’s memory, with no success. I ordered these binoculars to create use of it in the Roger Waters – The Wall concert. Totally fantastic. they’re able to see truly clearly accross the large river where I live, however they’re only able to focus nicely for perhaps 50 yards after that.
