All though I have not seen this type, be very carefull as they sound way to cheapppppp to offer any real quality. I had a friend last year who raced out without looking into things and bought a similar type off the internet and when he received them he coud not get the two images to focus into one. He ended up throwing them in the bin from frustration. Bino's this size will need a mount to use them and if you want some for general hand panning of the sky don't get any bigger than 9 x 63's. I would not worry about zoom features in bino's as the higher magnification will make them harder to use unless you have a sturdy mount. Go for aperature and less mag. to give great open views up there then use a telescope for zooming in. Just my 2 cents worth.
