Absolutely! These are great for viewing the neighborhood and beyond. I've taken pictures of the moon with these!! But because they do view so far out, it helps to have a tripod. These are great!!

I bought these to supplement a set of Bushnell binoculars for looking at sail boat up here at our place in Maine. The optics are much better but my Bushnell's are wide angle which I like better. I would look to see it they have them in a wide angle model but I would buy these again.

Depends on elevation of his apartment and altitude of aircraft in the sky. Will probably need a tripod for steady viewing due to the excellent quality of magnification. Zoom feature is very handy. Overall, I have been very pleased with the Nikon 8252 ACULON A211.

These would be an excellent choice. I was prepared to spend 3 times as much for a higher quality. I am glad I didn't. P.S. I use them to look at planes too.

I think they would be great. I love mine. I bought them specifically for bird watching and they are great, you can be just 5 feet away and still look at the birds even closer with those binoculars. They also have great magnification for longer distances and they are small and lightweight, which would be nice at the ballpark.

These binoculars are quite good. I use it for astronomic observation, so I point it to the light. I think you will perform great with this binocular for dust. They have clear view and easy handling.

I bought them for my 7 year old and he likes them . The binoculars are great, especially for the price. I was very surprised how well they work. And yes they are compact enough for a child.

Not really. These are made for star-gazing...there are better brands for that...I recommend going to opticsplanet and looking under the tab of "law enforcement" and then narrowing your search to "surveillance binoculars" Hope this helps!

These are good quality binoculars. The focus wheel wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be. I would give them a try; nothing to loose with Amazons return policy

Yes, they are. However, the cover for the eyepiece is flimsy and doesn't stay on as well as it should. That being said, they are excellent binoculars and, I feel, this is a minor flaw.

I've never used binoculars to watch live golf. I just move closer; but one of the reasons I bought these binocs was because one reviewer said that they had minimum "jiggle" when you're holding them. I agree. So the answer is probably, "yes." I can't imagine you're going to get better binoculars for this price. Good luck.

Emphatically yes. I put off buying binoculars for years because of eyeglasses. Then I tried these binoculars. "Eye Relief" is the relevant measurement for the distance the lenses can be from the eye while still getting full field of view.

I use these binoculars for hunting. I find them very usefull for the price also in low light.

I would have to look back at my information but I can say these are fantastic small binoculars. They are not the best for birding because they do not have the width of field you may want but otherwise I do like them very much.

I used them on a Nebraska Mule deer hunt was very satisfied. Other hunters in my group had more expensive Binoculars and they compared well.

Don't know. I am pleased with the binoculars for birding-sharp, clear image, decent brightness. Monarch series received high ranking in Cornell ornithological lab evaluations.

To be honest, mine Works really nice even at 125X. About clarity in my opinión at 100x is the average. Please just learn how to use them porperly. I´ve had very good moments with my binoculars for around 2 years.

Yes, the binoculars are perfect position for use and rest. My binoculars are not large, but I believe they would work for any size.

In my humble opinion these are take the kid to the beach binoculars, the only thing right about them is the price. Going on safari, in Africa I presume, demands a bit more research. There are 8x or 10x by 42 that are just better, and they are smaller. A bit more money perhaps but worth it. Vortex, Nikon, Celestron to name a few.

We have these binoculars at our lake house. Close up or a far distance is great. Small , lightweight, and precise viewing. Great value for the money!!
