For me, it's a little bit bigger than I'd want to carry while hiking or hunting, but that bulkiness also provides a clear and reasonably bright image compared to many other binoculars in this price range. It's a full size frame, and probably wouldn't survive a fall more than a few feet. As with all binoculars, those long objective lens housings are famous for getting knocked out of alignment. For walking and active watching or spotting, it would certainly be better to go with a compact binocular. If you do carry these, a neck strap or a chest pack would be the way to go. A wrist strap would get heavy and the bulky size would become an issue.
The optics are bright and clear. The edges of the image are not clouded or fish bowl distorted like cheaper binoculars. The distance focusing is better than expected at this price range, and I'd recommend these as a standard for daytime viewing. The clarity and image color might not make the hair on your neck stand up, but if you've never used an extremely high quality binocular, these might give you the shivers. lol..
A true 10 power binocular of this quality, is well worth $120-$150 to a serious user, especially if you're using them according to their intended purpose. You would pay a lot more for this quality of image with other brand names. Though 10 power can be handheld, it's about the upper limit of a handheld. A tripod notably improves image stabilization at 10x. As a rule I don't like trying to hold anything over 10 power in my hands, so that makes the Nikon A211 10x50 binocular my number one recommendation, for best all-around daily use, and for people with steady hands.
I also got the 20X80 set of binoculars (from Orion) and they are just amazing. You will see a lot of detail in constellations and star clusters. The first week I used that set, my mind was full of stars and star clusters I have seen that week. You will see many double / multi star systems in a very short time. This is probably my favorite set as the magnification and objective size are perfect and reach the limit for hand held weight.
These two sets of binoculars will let you learn the night sky for a while before you even need a telescope. Once you are ready for a telescope, you can choose one a step above the beginner level.
Update 3 days later: I sent this back and already have a replacement in a clearly new box. The return process was so easy; this is why I love Amazon.

Reviewed in Brazil on June 25, 2022
Some cons I could think of that are that:
1) it could have been slightly smaller and lighter but I personally did not find it a constraint to use.
2) the lens covers at both ends should have some feature to remain attached to the binoculars itself. This is important because when walking through forests and jungles, the branches may scratch against the lenses. I, could easily carry the covers in my pant pockets, but it is an minor inconvenience.
3) The binocular case is of good quality but lacks a handle or a strap. Putting a strap to the case would have made carrying the binoculars easier and also solved the above problem.
But that does not prevent me giving the product a 5 star rating. It performs its primary functions extremely well- Awesome picture clarity, low light vision and ease of use.
