I reviewed the Midas G2 Pro 12×50 over a year ago and found they produced some of the clearest images I’ve tested from a 12x binocular under $500. Over the course of the year, it’s helped me spot my targets at the range and been a solid performer. Last week I took it to watch a major league ballgame at San Francisco’s Oracle Park.
Watching a ballgame is a different experience with this optic. I didn’t have a tripod or mount to steady and it was constantly scanning the field, fast panning to follow the ball and plays. In this use case, I found that the Midas was a bit more finicky to find its best focus. I found myself adjusting the focus and diapoter. I also found the exit pupil’s sweet spot to be slightly past the maximum extension of the telescoping eye-cups, so I’ll probably add some extended rubber cups if I want to use these at another ballgame.
