Difficult to point out something that makes the Visionary Freebird 10×42 stand out from the rest in this class and price range of just under £200. What you do get is better than average build quality. A tough rubber body and large focuser make for great handling. The Twist eye cups are silky smooth to operate, and feel like quality.
As for the optics, the Fully Multicoated lenses and BaK-4 phase corrected prisms give a clear view. These is a hint of false colour, but not enough to distract you.
As with many 10x42s or 10×32 binoculars you will find that you will need to work the focus wheel to keep everything in focus.
They are not the lightest, but balance well in the hands for easy viewing, and are tough enough to take the odd knock or two.
Complete with a soft case and stay-on lens covers.
