That, according to my math makes them come out at about 29 ozs. That's alot better than I thought they would be. I'm going to reinstate them for consideration. 29 ozs. isn't far from the 30-31 oz. minimum I set for long range binoculars.
BTW, just because they use the Swaro EL hinge system does not mean that their prisms are mounting less ruggedly like the El's, or the insides use flimsier materials than Zeiss or Leica.
Just based on their weight, it infers that may not be the case. E
