“The Quantum-7.1 binos look impressive, with a classy champagne body and an air of quality about the finish and workmanship….Once locked in place, the mount held the binoculars firmly….The views confirmed the good optical quality, with the star Vega sharp, as it moved across the central 65% of the field, trailing off gradually towards the edges. Wide double stars stood out well too, especially Albireo. We then viewed open clusters and large-scale objects such as the Andromeda galaxy, which showed good detail….Jupiter had bands across it and the Moon exhibited crisp detail”
