if the battery dies do the binoculars still work as regular binoculars or are these those video camera type?

The binoculars work without batteries or dead batteries. The only loss in functionality is the ability to use the internal range finder in low light applications. The manual is here http://www.barska.com/rangefinder_compass.pdf

I have not used mine that much but I believe they will still work you just won't have the range finder nor some of the other options inside the viewfinder

The battery is for the compass light only - they work fine without the battery...

Yes, the Binoculars still work. The battery only powers a light that illuminates the compass so you can read it at night.

Not really, it's a magnifying microscope not a binoculars...I use mine to take pic of my micro circuit boards for my electronic products. I hope this helps

As you may know, most binoculars do. I bought these for our little girls, and unfortunately, the have temporarily "disappeared". I'm sorry I can't help you further. I know we were impressed with them.....but neither my husband (who is normally really good about those things) nor I remember. (The girls are 6 and 5 so that didn't matter to us).

The main reason I bought this cam was because it takes AA batteries (disposable or rechargeable) I have used energizer lithium and also their e2 titanium batts -which lasted almost two weeks on a backpack trip.

The cameras I bought take 4 x AA batteries, I use re-chargeable NiMiH types. They work perfectly.

I have to believe that the manufacturer would claim that the battery was decoded if that were the case. If you are shooting mostly video and particularly long video segments this may not be the best choice. But if you shoot mostly photos it really doesn't matter if its decoded. When the battery runs dry stick in the next one. Even shooting video. After awhile you get a feel for battery length. I've never lost any footage. For the difference in price I've found these batteries to be a good value.

Regular batteries work - I think they're AAA. Only two & they last for a while! From what I know - rechargeable batteries and regular batteries work the same way - it's just that the regular ones are discarded after they loose their charge.

Only had this one for 6 months (also bought one for Grandaughter at same time)and not sure how long batteries last but they are rechargable and take the greatest pictyres. Both very happy with camera.

I have had the cameras in the woods for over a month and they both say they have 75% or the battery life left. I have gotten about 50 to 60 pictures from each unit.

Yes unfortunately. They last a while but you will have to find these at the store or order. Can't use AA or AAA that most of us have lying around. I take my batteries out when camera not in use.

These binoculars are not a toy. I would imagine a child could look through them, and might need a chair or stool to stand on to do so, but I do not think they would be able to focus them correctly without someone working closely with them. I would not let my 8-year old grandson use them unattended.

It is not battery operatedIt is not for outdoor usageMaybe a hunter/game camera might work. They do well if motion activated is what you want- but aren't remote viewable unless you get the very expensive kind.

No view finder. Good battery life for still shots, but videos are a different story. I get about 30 minutes of video per set of batteries.

The cameras are mounted via screws in the base plate. One thing you may want to consider is that they do require an outlet nearby to power the camera. Otherwise the rechargeable battery will only last a few hours. I believe each camera does come with a set of screws.

The camera's do not have batteries. They use a plug-in transformer. So even though they send a signal wirelessly you still need household current to power them. Thus not truly wireless.

We didn't notice the batteries were different. They work, but none of the batteries last very long. We are verrry happy we have 3 charged batteries when we go out with this camera.

It is true that they need to be re-focused if focused with zoom setting. However, I am not sure that is a manufacture defect or just the design. They work fine for me. But then again, I don't mind refocusing for the price I paid for the set of binoculars.
