It's comparable to a DSLR camera, so depends on how you want to use it. There are lighter options available. Also, it doesn't come with a neck-strap, so you might want to invest in one.

Hello there! In response to your questions, first the weight. It would be difficult for me to say exactly how much it weights, but for binocularsthis size the are very light. The neck strap is quite robust and I have found it more than enough to support these binoculars. As for the focus, itis smooth and easy with center focus knob quite large. I think it is easy to focus with a finger. As for myself, I use them for bird watching andstar gazing. In my opinion these binoculars are excellent for both and I am very happy with them. I think you would be too. Hope this helpedyou. Good luck! Hello there! In response to your questions, first the weight.

I think they are fair in low light conditions not as good as the higher power binoculars but when you considering a compact pair they are fair and for the price to it was worth it not spending alot of money on a pair that might not be that good. Hope that helps answer your question.

I think they'd be fine. They're smaller than my Minolta 10X and have a little smaller FOV, but the light gathering and clarity is excellent.

Yes they will be great for that, very clear binoculars. I would also suggest the strap that holds it close to your body and not the one that comes with these binoculars.Regards,Terry L. shook

I have these binocs and so does my daughter, who lives far way from where I live. These binocs are as good as it gets in the less than a thousand dollar binoc group. I never noticed the smell before but I just smelled our five month old pair and it is strong, though some of it may arise from the case. I can't say how long it will last. Pity if that stops you from buying something this good, but I could imagine it bothering some people.

They are certainly better than the no name brand binoculars that you can buy for 10.00 at your local sporting goods store. For an adult they are perfectly serviceable (though there are likely better options) but for a child they will work fine. I use mine all the time and though they aren't the sharpest image producers, they work fine for the occasional user.

The Nikon 7266 Action Binaculars are very light. I do not know the actual weight but I can hold them for a long time without feeling unconfortable.You do not have to keep super still to get a good image. These binaculars are very stable and they compansate for vibrations and jerky movements.

Without going to weigh my pair of binoculars, I would say they are very lightweight. I bought them for my wife who has small hands, and she finds them very comfortable. My 9 year old son recently used them at a concert and had no troubles using them. Hope this helps.

It does not weigh that much (about 2 lbs.) & this is a $400 to $500 pair of binocs for half the price. Plus the warranty is a good one.

Absolutely. I just used them while in Maine viewing Moose. For the $$ these are excellent. My birding friend has a $1K pair of binos and he said they are not much better than the Monarchs. He's the one who recommended them. Hope this helps.

Thewy are very light. I have shoulder issues and they are much lighter than my old binoculars.

I'm sure they are durable enough, however they are somewhat bulky. Compact 'backpacking' binoculars might be a better choice for your saddlebags.

Carl, sure are. I have 12 yo twins and both have been using them on a recent trip to upper Michigan. They are really, really strong. Binocs, not the kids ;=) so they had to steady themselves when using them. Kids being kids, they tend to swing from one side to another real fast like, thus they had to get used to tracking an object. Overall, they used them a lot and I had to fight for them..... Maybe I should have bought two of them.

It's a bit light in my opinion, and it would depend on what lens you would be using. I like my Bogen's (Manfrotto) for my DLSR's.
