Shipping from Italy via FedEx: What you need to know
I'd like to inform you that SkyRover has recently made some changes regarding the shipping of its products for European customers. From now on, orders placed on their website will be shipped via FEDEX, with an estimated delivery time of 4 to 8 days.
It's important to note that customers will be required to pay VAT and any other customs fees when the products arrive at customs. Based on feedback from customers who have already placed orders, the total taxes can range between $271 and $291 of the purchase price, including VAT (approximately $221), customs duties, and a $21 fee for the customs clearance service provided by FEDEX.
FEDEX will handle all customs procedures, but it's essential that customers are aware of the additional costs upon delivery. SkyRover also shared this information with Binomania to inform its readers.
I therefore invite you to consider this information before making a purchase, to have a clear understanding of the total costs.
TWO NEW SKYROVER PRODUCT VIDEO REVIEWS BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER
In addition to reviewing the new binoculars SkyRover 12×50 APO, I will also have the chance to try the new smartphone adapter Designed specifically for the BC APO series of binoculars. This innovative adapter lets you transform your smartphone into a long-range photography tool by simply multiplying the standard focal length of your smartphone's 1x lens by the magnification of your binoculars. For example, using an iPhone 15 Pro with the 8x binoculars, you can get equivalent focal lengths of 192mm, 224mm, and 280mm.
The adapter stands out from common clamp mounts thanks to its design with threaded connections on both ends, which ensures greater stability and better alignment.. This minimizes stray light interference, resulting in sharper, more colorful images. During testing, even those with little experience with binoculars or digiscoping found the adapter easy to use, achieving impressive results in just a few minutes.
This adapter not only makes it easier to capture high-quality images, but also makes the entire setup lighter and more compact. While it can't compete with professional cameras in terms of quality, it still offers an exciting and practical experience for observing and capturing distant objects. I can't wait to share the results of this review with you.
