      I've been watching for an alternative to heavy and expensive image stabilized binoculars for a trip to Costa Rica that I hope to reschedule some day. This could be it.

      I love the concept of this product, and I want one, but I think I'm going to wait for reviews to see if the quality is good enough to make it more than just a novelty item.

      pretty much nails the use case scenario I could think of for it. Curious on image quality.

      I think it will sell well. I can see casual use at sports. It has potential for misuse which could help sales.

      Hey, it's even better for standing OUTSIDE a football stadium and peering inside through the gates during a game!

      I didn’t see anything about weather sealing, or did I miss that. Look like a fun carry around gadget for social media posting etc... would be great if it were waterproof somewhat like a smartphone.

      I wonder how it performs in situations other than bright daylight.
