Greetings to all. The other day I bought Meoptu pro Air. Before that I went to another store to see Swarovski El. I bought Meoptu. I am very satisfied. 😃

I bought one last week...Its extremely good. Just as good as my former Zeiss Victory FL 10X56 wich had even blurry not sharp edges..The Meopta has clear sharp edges without distortions.

Thank you for your feed back. And thanks to Meopta for their nice gesture.

I appreciate your review,very helpful 👍

The most trusted review i have ever seen.

i have the meopta b1 8x42 and in the past owned a pair of swarovski slc 8x42 which i found hard to use due to blackouts and strange focusing i love my meopta they feel just right in weight and the view is stunning so sharp and clear its a shame these are not well known great optics for the money

Ich möchte hier noch ergänzen: Interessant ist auch das 8x42 Meopro Air, da es ein riesiges Sehfeld hat und deutlich mehr Tiefenschärfe, man muss nicht ständig zwischen mehreren Objekten unterschiedlicher Entfernung hin und her stellen! Und es läßt sich entspannter Beobachten, da es leichter ruhig zu halten geht! Best regards, Rainer

Great review, thank you! Makes me want to give the Meopro Air's a shot.

thank you for the thoughtful review. i am not a believer in spending big money for a little better light transmission. in alot of cases, NV or thermal devices are the right tools for observation. plus the prices of those technologies have came down alot over last 3 or 4 years.

Is there a reason the video is sideways…

Thank you for the review. I chose this as my first pair of binoculars as the price in my country is around 590 euros new.

you convinced me..Iam gonna buy one.

So what shocks about these Meopta MeoPro Air HDED+ is that what you get here is pretty much the *SAME* quality (both: build & optics) of an Alpha, for just around *HALF* the price. I wonder what the differences are between these and the MeoStar B1 Plus HD.

Just Purchased a pair of Meopta Meopro airs in the 8×42 if they are anything like the Meostar hds than Ive got an excelent set of glass always liked the Meostar hd 10×42 Ill have them in hand in a couple days hopefully so I can do some real world testing

Excellent review with very relateable language and opinions, I very much appreciate that. Here in Australia it seems that the 8x42 is retailing at $1695aud so that lessens the "value" one might realise but I haven't yet started asking around for prices so better value may be out there somewhere. Again, thank you for such a good review.

How easy is it to accidentally touch that diopter wheel?

Just recieved My Meopta Meopro Air 8×42 yesterday Extreamly pleased with the optical quality tested them in sunset and sunrise condition very sharp Edge to Edge was not sure at first if they had flatenar elements in them but after viewing through them it is aparrent that they do infact seem to have field flatenars a little bit of rolling shutter if you dont know where to set the eyecups but once set they are perfectly sharp across the visual field only thing they could have done better is add abbe konigg prizms but that would add weight and not a dealbreaker for me as I will atest they are plenty bright enough for hunting in first hunting light or stargazing after sunset thanks for making your video definatly helped me decide!!.

Great information thanks. How do you find the focus wheel overtime if you are by any chance using it or heard from others about it, I’m on the fence on ordering one but I’m afraid if it is very stiff it will not be good for birding.

The comments seem to confirm your view of some owners, they don't like to be told they have spent too much on their alpha bins.

My neck hurts from watching this video sideways

09:27: "Lot of tests have shown ..." - please share details with us, referencies, test setups, which wavelengths, ...

The meopta meostar hd's are about as good as it gets. Build quality is heavy but might be the best built binocular in the world. Certainly more rugged than current zeiss, swarovski's. Leica's are very rugged to but I think the meostars have better optics than ultravids and as good as noctivids. I think zeiss victory still have slightly better resolution but build quality is way lower

The Meopta close focus 8X42 has in reality 180 CM..

Meopta wins.

Dude, you cant upload a video to KZfaq that is actually in the horizontal format? Really?

that is not even meoptas top line meostar, that is only meopro

I don't like mine, it is relativly poor in low light, Vortex Dimondback much better in this respect do to i believe better contrast in the Diamondback. The Vortex when viewing a light blue sky has the same color as the naked eye sees, on the other hand the Meopta Meopro Air shows a yellow tint to the blue sky ( exactly what this means I dont know). I would not recomend the Meopta at 1000 bucks, maybe at 500. The Vortex and the Meopta are both hurting for about a milometer or two of eye relief, ok for a 250 dollar binoc but not a 1000. The vortex eye cups are better but the meopta focus wheel is better. Both in 10x42. Without any lense caps Vortex =21.5 oz Meopta Air=28.5 oz on my scales. Resolution in good light is very slightly better only, favoring the Meopta. Edge to edge is a little better in Meopta but still no problem in the Vortex. Field of view a little better favoring the Meopta. I would like to say that Im not crazy about the Diamondback 10x 32mm model. Received new the Meopta Air 2 days ago. My 2 cents. Update: further testing favors the Meopta Air. The more I use the Meopta the more I like it. The thing is, there doesn't seem to be much better in the 1000.00 price catagory. The culmination is perfect in my Meopta Air and this really helps to get perfect focus quickly. No eye strain at all in the Meopta ( almost none in the Diamondback) by my eyes. And it really isnt bad in low light, just that the cheap diamond back is very good here.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tried to listen to this review ,but, your constant sniffing was too much !!

Your obviously not comparing the actual optical performance differences between the two. For you there might not be able to see the difference between an upper end mid grade bino with a top of the line alpha glass. There is nothing in your review that is comparing aberrations , field curvature, edge softness, color rendition etc. there is not a huge difference between a really good $1000 binocular with the best of the best. There becomes a point of diminishing returns per dollar. But I can assure you that the EL is a far superior optical binocular than meopta.

My Meopro Air has very poor edge to edge clarity. Center field is great. Pretty bad for paying 1000 bucks. My Lecia Trinovid is much better in that respect. And I know it may be hard to believe but my Vortex Dimondback 10x42 even has better edge to edge clarity than the Air.

1. If you all haven't seen a documentary called... It's worse than you think.... By revelations of Jesus Christ ministries.... I suggest you do... All praise and glory to the most high Jesus Christ

I am very sorry, man but you talk so much and you don’t give enough information. You should make it more brief more consistent and more straightforward. I’ve been listening for almost 10 minutes and he just talking nothing. You’re not giving any specific information so I will not be able to give you a nice review or positive review even though you took your time to explain in this video things but you make it too long, very tiring and in the end it’s a boring Review
