is this good for bird watching

Short answer I don't know. I used them mostly when we are on the balcony in a cruise or at sporting events. In both cases they work fine.

These are excellent for bird watching as they have have a strong 10X magnification and fast central focusing. The only negative might be that they are a bit heavy at just under 2 pounds.

In my opinion, you should probably use 8 power binoculars for bird watching unless you can hold these 10 powers quite still. 10 powers really expose any shaking.

I think it will be great for that! It is very compact but the brightest flashlight I have ever owned. It has a focused beam which would be excellent for spotting birds.

According to my grandson who wanted them for this purpose they are great for bird watching. Best part of the purchase was they came with a lanyard and case which was not in the product description!

No.... you'll have to estimate range by other means. As for birding I'd find it very narrowly limited to sitting ducks; much too cumbersome for extensive field work.

I've been using this binocular for spotting birds or watching objects. The optics quality is better than than 300mm telephoto lens. One problem I found is that seeing objects for few a short period of time, i.e. over 20 seconds, develops shaking scene by slight hand movement. A monopod with binocular adapter will fix this, which I gonna try.

I suppose it can be used to view animals as long as the animal is not moving too much...could be hard to keep in focus on a moving subject. Hope this helps.

I am not really a very good bird photographer but my wife is an avid birder so I tag along. I bought the 100-300 specifically to photograph birds and I can say as unskilled as I am the lens got me some very fine photographs. I would definitely think you would be happy with it for shooting wildlife. (Compared to a full frame DSLR optic the thing is a feather.)

Yes, assuming it has a standard 1/4" threaded mount. This pistol grip, ball mount would be good for bird watching, but panning a field for wildlife may be "choppy".

I bought the Bushnell Falcon 7/35 binoculars for this kind of birdwatching, and have been very satisfied. You can focus on birds at a variety of distances without too much fussing around. Good price, too.

I have used the G@ for photographing birds. If the birds are moving, you will need a better camera than this. The really issue is the capability of the lens, and the lenses available for this camera cannot compete with the type of high end lenses that's required to capture bird's in motion. With this camera, you might be lucky, but a good photo will often be a matter of luck and skill with this camera.

I can't answer that one. So far, my wife uses it from inside the house to watch birds. We haven't taken it out much.

I use it for birding - depending on what head you use, it's fine for either a 80mm refractive lens scope or a 90mm mirror lens scope. I've used both.

I find them to be fantastic for general use. Recently used them for inspecting the roof and upper parts of our house from the ground. They are superb for birding and wildlife watching. They focus quickly and work well if tou wear glasses. Well worth the money.

Yes, my son uses them to bird watch and they help see the birds in more detail.

Too large for that. I gave mine away, for I wanted it for birdwatching and 10 ft was the max distance.

Yes, they are a great mid-range priced pair of binoculars for bird watching, were recommended by Bird Watchers Digest

Yes these are very good for event watching. Especially for the price. The magnification is 8x so you can get 10x but you lose a bit in finding a moving object. With these I have seen birds on the wing from far far away.
