Other than for the fact that they are binocular, not really. You would do far better with a digital SLR and a lens of about 70×300mm zoom. The 25 is a very narrow window of view and a 10×50 is quite heavy. I have a 7×15x50 zoom pair I use at air shows and a Pentax SLR with 2 lenses, a 18×55 and a 75×400 and covered the Dayton international air show and have many terrific shots of the Raptor in particular and of the “Heritage Flight” consisting of a P51, F16 and the F22 together.
To start with, a 10 power binocular is difficult to hold steady for good viewing. The image will wiggle around a lot unless braced against something. The camera is a “0.35 Megapixel Digital Camera” as posted on the web site. This is basically 480 X 640 resolution. The picture could well be fuzzy because of the image bouncing around due to the power of the binoculars and it’s not a very good resolution. You’d do better with an inexpensive point and shoot with a halfway decent zoom.
