Commander 7x50 is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 16.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Steiner Commander 7x50 2304 By far the best I've used. Amazing view, So clear and the depth of color is superb. You can tell the quality as soon as you pick the up. Easy to focus. I love the case that came with it. that little bit extra just completes the package. I noticed when I use these at night the color is amazingly sharp and bright. Great 30 year life guarantee which just shows how confidant Steiner are. I'm more that happy with this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Icebergs, bergy bits and growlers Iam a commercial ship's Captain and ice pilot. Although you would think that Panamax and Cape-size ships would carry good and well maintained binoculars, most don't! I first experienced Steiner binoculars in the 1980's and always hankered after a pair. In July of this year, 2019, I finally purchased the model 2304, 7X50 Steiner Commanders having become fed up with the poor binoculars on the ships I work on. The optics, light-gathering properties and all-round ruggedness of the Commanders are impressive. In low light, twilight and fog conditions of the Arctic, these binoculars certainly help to pick out multi-year sea ice and bergy bits. If they allow me to avoid damaging ice, they will have proven their worth many times over. I hope to get many years of good service from them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best marine binoculars available. I just bought a pair of Steiner 7x50 commander with compass. It is GREAT! I have used a few other brands in the past and none can match up to the Steiner’s. Excellent value for the money and a 30 year warranty really makes this a great value. Came with all the lens covers and floatable straps and a very high quality hard case for storage and transportation. These are a “must have” for any boat enthusiasts or sailor. Also did I mention that they are water proof. Great product. These baby’s set the standard in marine binoculars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My first pair of Steiners! Growing up as far back as I can remember my father owned a pair of military Steiner 7x50's (that he purchased back in the 1980's). I have a lot of hunting background growing up in eastern Co. and have spent countless hours looking through his pair of 7x50's and they in my opinion offer the best picture and field of view possible, not to mention their unmatched durability/ruggedness. Both me and my father agree that the Steiner 7x50 commanders that I recently purchased are nothing but perfection at its finest. Offering the great field of view the 7x50 objectives/magnification is know for and Nano-Protection lens coatings they couldn't of dreamed of back in the 1980's. Due to my love for Steiner products I have already purchased a GS3 4-20x50 rifle scope for my 30-06 and will continue to purchase Steiner products for years to come (like the MSR reflex sight). Don't forget about Steiner's amazing warranties.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is my third pair of Steiners! My first pair of Marine 7x50's was stolen off my boat. Heartbroken is the only way to describe that. I just replaced them with a sweet pair of new ones!There is just something about high quality gear, it has a certain feel ,and always performs when you need it. That is Steiner! They never disapoint me. I live on the water, I hunt , I fish and I do a lot of boating and I have had lots of binoculars, nothing compares to the quality of my Steiners. I will always grab them over any other optics.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Toss the accessories These are expensive Marine binoculars. Just received them and the carrying case and all straps.are fitted with steel hardware. Good for 30 days in a marine environment. Should be ashamed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First class Very happy with this purchase. While more expensive to other manufacturers the quality of construction and lens quality are immediately apparent. If you consistently work/play in a very active waterway then these binoculars will be worth stepping up for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crisp clear image from top notch binoculars The images through the lenses are crystal clear. They are rugged and feel almost indestructible. Great binoculars!

I have your Commander RS 2000 binoculars and not sure how the range finder works. They're probably 20 years or more old.

what is the fluid in the compass of the commander . where can i purchase the fluid?

Asked by: franklin 54
The fluid itself is not an item available for purchase through Steiner. If fluid has somehow leaked from your binoculars, they should be returned to us for service under the Heritage Warranty http://steiner-optics.com/repairs
