For customers who enjoy star gazing or distant wildlife including bird watching, the S Series deliver high-quality, bright and clear viewing. These are suitable for low-light conditions thanks to a larger than 40mm objective. Best binoculars for horse racing and other sports:Sports tend to happen during the day, so a bright objective lens is less of a concern. Something like an 8x30 will hit the spot, as the 8x magnification should be plenty to see what's going on from the stand. There's no point getting something big and heavy if you don't need it!

Here it is all about ease of carrying and portability. Thes binoculars work best in good light and are ideal for uses like hiking, camping, taking to outdoor sporting events, walking safaris, etc. The two measures, magnification, and size of objective lenses relate to the field of view. Field of view is how wide an area is encompassed in the image seen through the binocular.We'd opt for the Celestron UpClose G2 10x25 over the similar UpClose G2 8x21 due to their better twilight factor, at 15.8 instead of 13.0, which means the higher powered (and larger objective) pair gives better low-light results — much better for stargazing. The main purpose of binoculars is to allow you to see a distance object more clearly by making them look larger as if you were seeing them from much closer. My “8x” binocular makes the object I am looking at appear eight times larger than it would if I look at it with just my eyes (unaided). The Visionary RCX series of binoculars feature good quality optics in an ultra compact style. This range is excellent value for money – quality has not been compromised as can be seen by the 10 year manufacturer guarantee.

For their small size they are comfortable to use and easier than most to hold steady. Very keen price. You can pay a lot more and not get better.You're a keen stargazer:They have limited astronomy use, so if that's what you'll be using them for, there are better options. We have been using these binoculars in Australia and Europe over the last 3+ months now. Their ultra-light weight was a particular attraction to us. The binoculars have proved to be hard-wearing and effective in a range of different lights and weather conditions. You would have to pay three times the price to find anything that begins to be comparable, and even then you would almost certainly be considering products a couple of hundred grams heavier. Outstanding value for the price, and great delivery service. Thank you Procular! If the magnification is underwhelming, you can convert to telescope mode for 16x magnification. Bear in mind that this results in a very narrow field of view of just 2.6 degrees, so the usefulness of this is questionable. We expect it to give a worthwhile view of the moon but not much else in the night sky. What’s more, if you’re looking for a binocular that’s stylishly unique, then the Nikon Aculon T02 8x21 — in our opinion — wins hands down, as this model comes in a selection of colors: Red, blue and white. The Nikon Aculon T02 8x21 comes equipped with a carrying case and eyepiece covers. It’s worth noting though, that the case wasn’t supplied with the test unit that we received from Nikon. Celestron UpClose G2 10x25Not the highest spec compared with models on this list — you will get partially multi-coated lenses and BK-7 glass roof prisms. Still, they are well-priced and come with the reassurance of a limited lifetime guarantee.★★★★½

Superb quality. The image is an improvement on my old X10 binoculars. I have bought them for a 5 year old child (who has not yet received them) but I am impressed with how light and easy to use they are These Pentax US binoculars weigh just 194 grams and measure 13 x 11.6 x 5.5cm, making them incredibly lightweight. Despite this, they still boast high-quality, fully multi-coated optics. These are the lightest binoculars in the Pentax range, helped no doubt by using plastic instead of a metal chassis, and there is no rubber protective armor. Instead, there are two small thumb rests that help with grip. You don't have a big budget:They are on the more expensive end of the market, so only those with bigger budgets would buy them. Binoculars with 8x40, 8x42, 8x70, 8x32, or even 8x21 all offer the same magnification. They will all magnify the image by eight times. Likewise, 10x42 will magnify ten times, 12x50 will magnify twelve times.

These affordable reverse Porro small binoculars are made by Apexel, a Chinese company famous for its smartphone lens accessories. Nikon hasn’t skimped on quality. Despite their reasonable price, the Nikon Aculon T02 8x21 exudes an excellent build and decent optics, allowing for a variety of high performance, high clarity and observing activities — from wildlife watching to very casual stargazing —on the go. However, this means that they are now so large that they have to be attached to a tripod to use them which is certainly not ideal if you need easy to carry binoculars for birdwatching when out in the field. The 8x magnification and relatively small aperture of 25mm means that they're not ideal if stargazing is your main endeavor, but we couldn't fault the optics on these binoculars. We were able to get small but very detailed views of the craters of the moon and Orion's Belt. We were pleased to see no color-fringing even towards the edge of the view, and they had excellent contrast, clarity and color fidelity.
