A binocular to challenge some of the best in the world?? It’s been a long time since a new product appears on the market causing a huge excitement. Built by astronomy equipment specialist Sky Rover in Kunming, China, the Banner Cloud APO Series come with top class specifications that every binocular lover will be interested to take a look through it! With a super wide Field of View of 9.1° equaling the best in the industry, plus super bright high definition flat field images with no obvious sign of chromatic aberration, it is a class act by itself, regardless of any comparison with competitors. We suggest you to try this at our showroom to judge for yourself! See if you are alright with its optical performance, mechanical construction, ease of use, comfort level and weight (about 900g – not lightweight). A binocular of less than S$1000 or US$750 can’t be that extremely good, correct? McGill’s humble opinion based on a few samples – This 8×42 APO gets an A- grade for optical performance (ie. yet to hit A+ the highest grade), a B for mechanical construction and workmanship with a final score of A- for overall performance and undisputed A+ for value for money! McGill believe it is the BEST binocular in Singapore at less than SGD$2000(~US$1500) on optical performance alone! There is simply no match at our current price! Probably all the mid-range and lower end of high range models from Japan and European origins will have trouble competing with the 8×42 APO upon comparison in optical performance. This product is covered under Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects only, excludes normal wear-n-tear. Frequently Asked Questions Q: This binocular is a new model. I understand it looks impressive based on the technical specifications alone but where does it stand or how does it fare against some famous or well-regarded binoculars? A: In terms of optical performance, it seems the 8×42 APO performs better than the famous Nikon Monarch HG 8X42 (US$990 street price) based on third-party reviews. So we can safely assume both models are at least on the same level optically. Whatever you read in reviews on the optical performance of the Nikon model is applicable to the 8×42 APO or even better for the latter. This position puts the 8×42 APO in the mid-high range models on the market (for optical performance only). Q: This binocular is made in China, so should I be concerned about quality control issues? A: Quality control is an issue that seems to affect almost any brand. Even top range or the so-called Alpha brands also have customers returning the binoculars for various reasons. As this is a flagship model from Sky Rover, more efforts have been undertaken to ensure the binocular that arrives in your hands is fit for use. Our batches are triple-inspected before delivery to you. In case of any issues upon delivery, please contact us immediately for a satisfactory solution. Q: Why is there such a hype over this series of binoculars? Is it really true these are amongst the best in the world? A: Firstly we do NOT think this is the best binocular in the world, but in terms of optical performance, it is not too far away from the elite ones. The workmanship and mechanical construction are still a long way off from the best in the world. It seems the design and production cost of this series focus more on achieving optical excellence rather than having a well-rounded or quality body construction. Instead, the 8×42/10×42 APO Series have basic and functional bodies which may not seem attractive but still do the job well. The main aim is to keep prices affordable for majority of consumers. So customers who have been using the top 3 European brands may not be satisfied with the ease of use or comfort level offered by this series. Q: What type of users should consider the 8×42 APO binocular? A: Those looking to invest in a high quality binocular for general purpose use, birdwatchers who want to up their game without blowing their budget, travelers looking for a high performance standard binocular but still weighing less than 1 kg, serious stargazers who want to observe as many objects as possible within the binocular’s field of view. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SKY ROVER Banner Cloud series 8×42/10x42APO adopt Double ED glasses in each objective, which can reduce the chromatic aberration and give a bright image. Apochromatic structure provides higher-quality object details and color accuracy. It is coated with FBMC+phase coating+dielectric coating, makes the picture clearer. Magnesium alloy body not only makes the structure of the binoculars more stable, but also makes it light and durable. It is very suitable for traveling, going to concerts, observing the stars, etc. FBMC+phase coating+dielectric coating Super high-precision roof prism group, with phase coating and dielectric coating, combined with new FBMC, fully utilizes every beam of light entering the objective lens. FBMC combined with a hydrophobic coating , when water droplets fall on the lens, they can condense and slide off, leaving no water droplets; It also effectively prevents water stains from remaining and reduces the generation of fog. High Light Transmittance It has an average transmittance of up to 90% and a peak transmittance of up to 92%. It produces bright images, minimizes color deviation, and restores true colors. Ultra wide angle It has a ultra-flat field wide-angle design, providing sharp imaging from the center to the edge. This series of binoculars can provide an apparent field of view of over 70 degrees.
