This is invaluable when viewing from a fixed location, and there's a need to close-in on a subject, or back away to put the scene into perspective.

I have a fairly large garden area with multiple bird feeders and already have a great (more expensive) pair of Pentax binoculars that I keep in the house for quickly grabbing and getting a closer look at the birds. At Kiwi Binoculars, we carry an array of different high-quality binoculars, monoculars, spotting scopes and telescopes. Very happy, and come to find out another friend of mine owns the same set and he is happy with it as well. UV protection lenses make it ideal for outdoors use as a companion for bird watching, sporting events, and other activities. But I also can appreciate the usefulness of simple, affordable equipment that provides a decent if not perfect view.waveinn has this and other nautical and fishing products that you are looking for with the best quality. If you must bring charts, you can try to figure out what you just saw while you pass the binos along to the next person. And by using tripod adapter ( sold separately ), these binoculars can be mounted on a tripod to steady viewing over long periods of time. If this is your only binocular, 10x50's become difficult to hold steady for anything more than a minute or so and sometimes less for some of us.

I did two campings with professional astrophotographers before but they were focused on photography. Seated on a camping chair, with the binos mounted on a monopod is better than standing and hand holding the binos, especially for longer observing sessions.

The fully coated lens on the Olympus Trooper DPS I Binocular makes it durable and offers you UV protection. The Pentax is lighter and has a much smaller field of view, although the size of the very sharp sweet spot is about the same.I will be with my nephews (18 and 13 years old) so also i'm going to tell them and feed their curiosity. If you want a decent pair of binoculars to keep in the kitchen/conservatory to grab to look at wildlife in the garden, these are for you. They don't feel as well made as other more expensive binoculars, the focus wheel isn't as "fast" as other binoculars and the eye cups don't come close enough together for some users BUT for the money the quality is excellent. The Olympus Binoculars 10×50 work equally well even if you need to wear glasses as it has an eye relief distance (distance between the eyes and eyecup) of 2 m.

Don't take too much, you can spend too much time deciding what to look at and with binoculars the idea is they are wide field and so you scan lots of the sky. Welcome to BirdForum, the internet's largest birding community with thousands of members from all over the world.

Designed to minimize eyestrain during extended use, the DPS I Series is ideal for spectator sports, camping and other outdoor pursuits.

Some mention that they are easy to carry around their neck and simple to use yet, while others say that they're a little heavy and emphasized by the narrow strap. The wide 65 degrees apparent field of view contributes to a sharp, clear image, as well as the versatile applications for which these models can be used.Compared to my Sighting Scope, both are equal weight and function as a team when I use each of them to assist me when out in the wilderness.
