As seen on TV & on Amazon - Zoomies!


I completely forget Leo had done Zoomies as his gadget of the week a couple of years ago. But I never had a pair to try, so when I saw them on sale I bought a pair of Zoomies to try out for myself. First some hype about them from the web: “Great for bird watching, sporting events, concerts & more. Also great for reading, sewing, crafts, watching TV & more. Zoom 300 ~ 400%. The Zoomies are fairly straightforward to use; just put them on as you would a pair of sunglasses, and adjust the focus with the knobs positioned near the hinge of each temple. And now back to me. Wow, these are awful. On my pair, the focus knob on one side turns, but hardly moves on the other side, so they’re a pair to adjust. Optical quality is poor. And as you’ll see in the video, the Zoomies reviews on Amazon are terrible. I just checked back to Leo’s review, and he too calls them ‘crap’. But they’re cheaper on Amazon then what Leo paid in case you still want to try them, or buy a pair for your kids – who might think they’re cool (for about 30 minutes). Under $9 and Amazon Prime, so free shipping if you’re a Prime Member. I did not get any accessories with mine.
