How to Choose Binoculars

 1.Choosing binoculars for the first time

About Magnification: For the first time, we recommend magnifications between 6x to


10x for handheld outdoor use.The higher the magnification, the narrower the real field of
view. If the magnifications are identical, the larger the value of real field of view, the wider
the field of view.

About Eye Relief: Choose binoculars with eye relief of at least 10mm. 15mm or longer
eye relief binoculars are recommended for eyeglass wearers.

About Waterproof & Fogproof:You may experience different weather and temperatures
in outdoor activities, we recommend you choose a waterproof and anti-fog binoculars
there is no need to warry about a sudden rain or temperature change.

2.Choosing binoculars by size

Full-Size (common specs: 8 x 42, 10 x 50):

Best for serious wildlife viewing and for use on boats. Full-size binoculars capture more
light and perform better in low-light situations. They usually provide steadier images and
a wider field of view, so they're great for bird watching, but they're a litter big and heavy
for backpacking.

Mid-Size (common specs: 7 x 35, 10 x 32):

Best all-around choice for wildlife and sports use. While a bit heavy for backpacking,
these binoculars balance moderate size and above-average light transmission.

Compact (common specs: 8 x 25, 10 x 25):

Best for daytime outdoor activities. These are the lightest, smallest binoculars for
backpacking, but they’re less comfortable during extended periods of use.

3.Choosing binoculars by scenes

For Bird Watching: We recommend magnification of 8x to 12x for forests,lakes and


marshes.The objective lens40mm to 50mm is recommended. If the effective diameter of
the objective lens is 50mm,maybe you need to use a tripod as they may cause unstable
image and uncomfortable viewing due to shaking by hand movement.

For Outdoor / Travel: If you’re watching outdoor nature, we recommend magnification of


8x to 10x. If viewing the scenery or distant buildings is your main interest, we recommend
magnification of 4x to 8x. Zoom binoculars come in handy if you want to see objects both
near and far.

For Concerts: We recommend magnification of 7x to 10x. For concert halls, we


recommend magnification of 4x to 8x.
For Stargazing: We recommend a magnification around 7x to 10x,an effective
diameter of about 40mm to 50mm. With larger diameter, we recommend the use of a
tripod to stabilize binoculars as larger diameter of the objective lens may cause unstable
image and uncomfortable viewing due to shaking by hand movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is night vision for binoculars?


A: Night vision technologies can be broadly divided into three main
categories: image intensification, active illumination and thermal imaging.
Image intensification is the amount of received photons from various natural
sources such as starlight or moonlight
Active illumination couples imaging intensification technology with an active
source of illumination in the near infrared (NIR) or shortwave infrared (SWIR)
band.
Thermal imaging detects the temperature difference between the background
and the foreground objects. Some organisms are able to sense a crude
thermal image by means of special organs that function as bolometers. This
allows thermal infrared sensing in snakes, which functions by detection of
thermal radiation.
