Haven’t tried the tripod adapter, but looks solid. When propped I could see 4 moons of Jupiter! I could also read the “John Deere 318” off my neighbor’s mower at over 1200 ft, that is almost 1/4 mile! (Not a pic through the lens, just a stock image) Detail of the moon is spectacular.
Measurements/ Dimensions provided in the pictures. Yes, the image is shaky if you aren’t very steady, but at 16x that should be expected.
Focus is sharp and smooth. Weight is not bad at all. You don’t pick them up and notice anything different from any other pair by weight. The grip and feel is great. Able to focus closer than expected.
Cons: diopter adjustment is crazy tight. Lens caps are terrible. Especially the eye piece cover. Easily falls off. Will either need an elastic band to hold it, or replacement covers.

They are just that good. I have owned them for years and compared them to many pairs. Sharp on the axis and across the field.
Some give a low rating and say that the image shakes too much when holding them. This is not the fault of the binoculars but the 16x they create. Don't blame the binos for doing what they are designed to do. Shaking is a result the the extra magnification or the user's inability to hold them steady.
Yes they are heavy but that is called "Quality build" - Harry

Nice and easy to use, clear picture, very easy to adjust and focus. Also seem very well made and durable too. A quality product at a very reasonable price. (Nikon is existing the sport optics arena and focusing on cameras; so good luck with the warranty!)

Great binoculars. This is my second pair. I gave my first pair to my brother. GREAT for astronomy, with the tripod. I can see 4 moons of Jupiter!
The 16x magnification is well worth it. Highly recommended.

Mike in STL:
I have an early 1960s pair of Tasco 7x50 binoculars that my mom bought for me when I was a kid. They are unbelievably clear and sharp. I purchased the Nikon 16x50 to bring things a little closer. The Nikon’s are OK but not as sharp. I use them for looking at the beach from my condo. If I didn’t have my old binoculars to compare to I would rate higher but since I know what real clarity looks like. I rate them 4. As others have mentioned the eye cups are too big. They hit the nose to far from the eye. The other issue is that 16x50 binoculars are hard to hold steady. This is not the fault of the binoculars, it has more to do with the large magnification. Keeping in mind they are selling for $120 I think they are worth the money. I suggest a 10x50 might work better for most users.

Our family lives on a lake and enjoy the wildlife viewing. Imaging is clear and binoculars light and easy to focus. Well worth the money

Pros:
Thick solid metal tripod adapter.
18mm wide eyepiece, vs 16mm on my Celestron 10x50 and 13mm on my Tasco 7x35
1.5 inch wide neck strap with leather backing
Thick, padded carrying pouch, without a strap
My reflection in the Nikon lenses (Objective and eyepiece) are dimmer than in my Celestron 10x50's by at least half, which is good for the Nikons.
Sharp images with easy smooth focus. Not much turning required to focus.
Near focus of 15 feet not 28 listed, but I am a bit near sighted but don't use glasses
Light and easily hand holdable by me, but I've had lots of practice and am young. I can hold it steady with one hand.
Measured exit pupil at thinnest point, and it is exactly 3.1mm, vs 4.3mm on Celestron 10x50
Pressing my eye sockets against the eyepieces does not move the focus
I can see veins in distant tree leaves that my 10x50 only shows the general leaf shape of
The objective covers stay on easily and can clip onto the neck strap.
As I look around my dark house inside, lit only by one computer screen, the view through the Nikons is no darker than with eyes.
The smooth sides of the eye cups makes it easy to tape...
