Where is zhumell manufactured

You're doing well by conducting careful research before purchasing! September Update: It's our understanding that Hayneedle is discontinuing the Zhumell optical brand. Our articles about Zhumell binoculars will remain for reference purposes. If you were considering a Zhumell for personal use or as a gift, you might be interested in our Best Binoculars page where we tell our favorite binoculars in several price ranges and categories.

The Zhumell product line consists of astronomy, marine, short-barrel, and zoom binoculars that allow the user to change their power while in use. However, binoculars are not the company's only market focus as they also offer brass nautical telescopes, dobsonian telescopes along with reflective and refractor telescopes.

A spotting scope is also on their list of offerings as well as a range of accessories sold for their products. Some Zhumell binoculars are also nitrogen purged and are sealed with o-rings which are lubricated for a wide range of temperatures, making them both waterproof and internally fog-proof. The mm models, which are ideal for general use, weigh 29 ounces although for about the same price, binoculars with 42 mm objectives from other brands can tip the scales at about a half-pound lighter.

One complaint that is sometimes heard about Zhumell binoculars, as they are received from the retailer, is that they sometimes arrive out of collimation or with poor collimation. However, even though the documentation from Zhumell doesn't mention the locations of the adjustment screws, they are there and if you know where to look and you know how to do it, you will be able to adjust the collimation on the binoculars.

Adjusting the collimation is NOT something for you to learn about on a binocular you can't afford to ruin, however, so please approach it accordingly. Normally you can also send the binoculars back to your retailer if they are delivered with poor collimation and ask for a replacement.

In general, although they're not usually considered outstanding values, Zhumell optical instruments give a reasonable value for the price. The Zhumell Tachyon 25X binoculars offer a metal case and enough power to clearly see the craters on the moon and beyond. The mm objective lens and 4-mm exit pupil are adequate, but are at the lower end the range for allowing enough light into the eyes for viewing of the night skies.

Weighing just over 10 pounds Zhumell is offering a package which includes a tripod with the Tachyon for a correspondingly higher price. Zhumell Telescopes have been a customer favorite since the company's first Dobsonian telescope exploded onto the amateur astronomy scene.

Zhumell binoculars, telescopes, and accessories consistently earn high marks from reviewers for uncompromising optical quality at affordable prices. Zhumell's innovative take on the Dobsonian secured the brand's reputation as a favorite among new and experienced observers alike. Available in apertures from 8"", Z Series Dobsonians feature built-in cooling fans so you can spend less time waiting for your telescope to adjust to the cool outdoor air and more time stargazing.

A smooth bearing system assists in tracking celestial bodies over long periods of time, while a dual-speed Crayford focuser helps you quickly bring your subject into sharp focus every time. The negatives about this telescope are few and far between, but there are definitely some that you should take into consideration before purchasing. Firstly, this telescope is heavy — I mean, too heavy to carry about with you anywhere. However, it is going to be a lot easier than the 10 and 12 inch Zhumell telescopes, but still not great.

Another negative about this telescope is that it can be quite difficult to set up for beginners. In conclusion, the Zhumell Z8 is one of my favorite telescopes for people looking for a good, powerful telescopes. You can pick up this 8 inch dob for the same price as a 4 or 6 inch refractor, which will give you much more power and better bang for your buck. The Zhumell Z8 Deluxe Dobsonian reflector is definitely of a high quality when you consider its price.
