There is a lot of meaning in the small word " perhaps"....
Perhaps a better description of these could be " a roof bin to rival NLs' :......
My understanding, which might be wrong, is that they deliver the APM porros too, so your assertion is possibly correct.
I for one would be very curious to try the view from a wide-angle eyepiece that didn't strain also to get 18mm ER.

, specially if they become backed by one of the well known brands we mentioned already in this thread. "
He has since received them and written about his first impressions in the thread I linked.A quote from Milos1977 from CN . The quote was when the buzz on this bin was in it's infancy .
" Swarovski 8x and 10x42 NL pure are $3500. These are $350. The same specs including close focus, eye relief, weight, FOV, diopter correction and adjustment.
TEN TIMES less expensive has to be record in clone binoculars so far. Still, no harm in keeping an eye on these
I have been following the Skyrover buzz since it's beginning , it's very entertaining . It would be fantastic if you could buy an "alpha" binocular for a fraction of what an "alpha" bin costs but I myself have a hard time believing it to be so . I would be more inclined to believe that perhaps the Skyrover is more of a class leader than a NL Pure crusher .
Why is it so hard to believe that a China sourced ? …. could produce a China Alpha binocular so close in Quality to a European brand ? . Just look at the labor/manufacturing cost differences not to mention how competitive China has become in producing nice quality optics this last decade alone. Not to offend any owners of the mentioned clone brand but to be honest, they are grossly overpriced. Take decades of large budgets for sales advertising from a household name for example “ Swarovski “ and we end up where we are now.
