Kite Lynx HD+ 8x42 双筒望远镜 + 赠品

I thought I would simply love these binoculars, but comparing to my cheaper Barr & Stroud 12 X 56 set, the only benefit perceivable to me is that these are much lighter, and the smaller magnification means the image a bit steadier. Paying around 3 times the price, I was hoping these would blow my mind, but we have to accept limitations posed by physics and that I have colour vision weakness. The build quality feels better than my Barr & Stroud, but only time will tell. The Barr & Stroud have gone through some tough times in bumpy dusty terrain.
Don't get me wrong, these are an excellent set of binoculars. Low light capability is great with the large 50mm glass. However, I cannot honestly say I feel that these are amazing enough to warrant paying such a price. I am also disappointed by the warranty, which seems impressive at first - 30 years. This only covers manufacturing defects. Other high value binoculars come with better warranty terms, even covering some accidental damage.

Very pleased with these binoculars and with the service from the friendly and efficient Stealth Birding team. I particularly wanted a pair of binoculars that was compact, light and easy to carry; as well as giving a sharp clear image. The Kite Lynx 8x30 are excellent.

Almost perfect.

The close focus is really useful, much appreciated for checking the bow on your shoelaces, but the image quality and widest-in-class-by-a-fair-chunk field are the killer features: apparent field of 62.4° (ISO) is so immersive, and the FOV area visible is 30% bigger than the best of the rest of the 8x 30-32-40, yet the overall detail surpasses many 10x optics' sweet spots, while colours and contrast are superb.

Cons? The ergonomics aren't as instinctive and natural as the Swarovski CL companion, the feel isn't as nicely balanced and solid, the Kites being a little bulkier too. The reflection control with near axis stray light isn't as good as on the illustrious CL either, so there might be more ducking and diving for shade sometimes. Perhaps the objectives have slightly too little shading and recess, or maybe some stray light measures inside aren't as effective as they could be? Not bad, but not quite up there with the very best. Maybe another millimeter or so of eye relief would be useful for some, especially spectacle wearers.

Overall, with versatility, IQ and transmission right up there, and that 30 year warranty, these represent a bit of a bargain

Excellent pair of binoculars. Chosen for their very close focus for observing butterflies, they were equally at home birdwatching in the Cairngorms and Moray Coast at Christmas. Highly recommended.

Wanted a really good pair of binoculars for ages, these look great and feel great. Haven’t had chance to try out properly yet looking forward to using them.

These are much better than my previous binoculars. It shows that "you get what you pay for". I am very pleased with them.

Received the Kite Lynx HD 10x42's and am quite astounded at the build quality and optical performance. The depth of field is class leading. I wanted a 10x magnification to support my faithful Leica Ultravid 8x32's. I would say they are on a par with them.

Well I've never bought a pair of binoculars before and with shops closed, I couldn't go in store to try the GPO at £360 in comparison with the Kite Lynx at double that price. I took James' advice which tended to follow what others had said on line and pay as much as you can afford. Well these are really good, I can see clearly for miles and are super for bird watching which I'm only just taking up again since childhood. They are light and compact. I would love to have been able to compare to see if these were really worth the double price tag.

At first I baulked a little at the price tag but I know that in life most of the time you only get what you pay for. These Binoculars are a huge step up from my much cheaper 8x30 Nikons in terms of build quality, image brightness and colour and I am very pleased with my purchase. The free gift I chose was the harness and pouch which is a little bit of a tight fit but does the job adequately.

Excellent to deal with, very helpful and friendly, rapid delivery. Binoculars as described great value for money. Hugely recommend.

Getting back into serious birding so i thought i would treat myself to an upgrade from my good 30 year old Swift osprey bins to well, i was'nt sure , so many out their that have similar spec to what i was looking for. I narrowed the field down and after an email and a very helpful phone call to James i went for the Kite lynx HD+. I know (because of covid restrictions) i was'nt able to look through any others before i bought these but i think they are truly amazing binoculars such a bright sharp image with a field of view to die for, what more could a birder want except if like me you are also into butterflies & dragonflies you need close focus, the lynx 8x42 has a close focus of 2 meters so ideal, and with all that they are pretty light weight. Would highly recommend the Kite lynx HD+ and Stealth Birders. Norman Harris (somerset)

Stealth Birding offers all the advantages of a retail shop, with old-fashioned customer service rather than volume sales at the heart of their work. The website is excellent: uncluttered, unfussy and effective. E-mail communication is very prompt indeed and advice is offered in a friendly, no-pressure way, both by e-mail and on the phone. The products have been chosen to offer top quality across a range of budgets. Prices are keen and good quality freebies add to the value. Dispatch and delivery are also fast. It was a pleasure buying two pairs of binoculars from a real birders’ shop. These binoculars are super. I was undecided about the 10x50 spec but the things I was concerned about - bulk, weight, field of view and image brightness - are really fine.

I would like to congratulate James for the exelent and prompt service in advising me and supplying me with my choice of binoculars, Iwould highly recomend them to anyone.

I've got to say that James from Stealth Birding is right on the case to make sure that any enquiries or problems that you may have are dealt with immediately and helpfully. A really good service. I would really recommend purchasing from his site. The Lynx HD 10x50 Binos are very good indeed. I have a Zeiss Victory 8X42 which are my benchmark and you can see that the Lynx don't have the same quality of build. But the optics are amazing in low light. The image is not as immersive and 3d as the Victory's, but sometimes when you need that extra detail, I will go with the Lynx. I got the Victory's for a bargain price - and today, I must admit they would be outside my budget. In terms of Value for Money and general wildlife purposes, I would go with the Lynx's.

Really happy with the purchase of my Kite Lynx HD+ 10X50 binoculars. For the price, they are fantastic for general nature watching, looking out to sea and lunar observations. The service from Stealth was also top-notch. Great Job!
