Let customers speak for us
from 21 reviewsExcellent binoculars
This is my 2nd C series and i also own a B series. The C.4 is Maven's only binocular made in China yet all the trademarks of the C series carry over with regards to the image quality. Bright, clear, high contrast with excellent colour fidelity and colour correction from the ED glass. The sweet spot size is very generous for this level of instrument and lets talk price, on the cheaper side of things you only have the Vortex Diamondback in 15x56 roof prism and slightly above is the DDoptics Pirschler - neither sporting ED objectives. The C.4 is surprisingly ergonomic and comfortable even if you have a smaller IPD iv found it a joy to use - its also better looking in person than the pictures online. Build quality is up there like always - built like a tank and fills yours hands in use.
For me it's getting tougher and tougher to look away from the Maven brand for small roof prism binoculars they are sporty, modern and punch above their weight class optically.
PS. Lifetime warranty!
Brilliant clear image even in dark wooded areas means I could see every detail of the target, perfect for field archery. Every thing you would expect, rubberised, gas filled, quality optics, well made and all in a perfect sized body making them easy and a joy to use. What more is there to say. Would definitely buy these again.
This is my second Maven, and their binoculars are everything they say they are on the advert: Exceptionally clear, bright high contrast image with excellent colour fidelity. These B.3's are edge to edge sharp optically and built like a tank. It's hard to look away from the Maven brand for small roof prism bino's now because they have everything i need.
Love it - used for target archery
Quick and easy way to set up phone for talking photos through binoculars
So easy to focus and clarity is great even at 50m plus.
I'm an archer and have used and borrowed various binoculars from £1200 being the most expensive, these at a quarter the price in my opinion do exactly the same job, i would normally stay away from reviews that say "great for the price" because this normally means they are crap, the longest distance i would normally use these binoculars is 50m and can easily identify the arrow I'm shooting amongst 24 arrows shot. would highly recommend these binos.
Good in lower light
Took a while to get used to
A replacement for 40 year old binoculars
Price was excellent
Enhanced my birdwatching experience no end
For the price we payed... This is definitely an excellent quality/product compromise
Very happy with it.
Thank to the team on the bird fair!

Excellent value for money.
Recently upgraded from a budget pair of binos to these for my job, they are fantastic and allow me to pick out finer details to accurately ID wildlife seamlessly!
Crisp, bright view. Firm, accurate focusing ring enabling fine adjustment. Smart, compact design, great for traveling. Haven't had much field testing yet but it will soon make it's debut in New Guinea.
These are amazing binoculars esp given the price for this starter type model. Quality lens crystal clear. So pleased with this purchase.
The clarity and brightness of the glass is incredible, even in fading light! Focusing is super quick and extremely accurate. Eye-cup extension with positive clicks are extremely comfortable even after several hours of use. The grip is extremely comfortable with a well-balanced weight. The C.1’s, look premium, with an ergonomic appearance without being overstated. These Binos are definitely up there with the best and certainly out-class the mid-range competition. They are an excellent price without breaking the bank, delivering exceptional quality. Well done to the Maven team!
