Nikon 20×56 Monarch 5 Binoculars (Black) 7583

Tue, 13 May 2025 10:00:32 +0000

Optimized for long-range use, Nikon’s 20×56 Monarch 5 Binoculars are the most powerful binoculars in the Monarch series and received upgrades from the Monarch 3 design to improve image quality with the same focus on comfort and performance the line is known for.

Featuring extralow dispersion glass elements with anti-reflection, fully multicoated optics and highly reflective dielectric-coated and phase-corrected roof prisms, the Monarch 5 produces bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color rendition and minimal color fringing across the entire field of view. The oversized objectives boost their light-gathering ability and help to offset the dimming of the view that often accompanies powerful optics such as this when observing long-distance subjects—ensuring bright and clear views even in challenging light conditions.

Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make these binoculars durable and comfortable to use. They have a lightweight, reinforced polycarbonate ATB chassis and are protected by rubberized armor that is accented with indented palm rests to give them a secure nonslip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature variations and environmental conditions. A one-piece ocular rainguard covers the eyecups as the binoculars hang around the neck and prevent rain and spraying water from filling them, and the objective lens caps are also tethered to keep them safe from being lost on the forest floor. The combination of high power and large objectives may cause distracting hand shake or arm fatigue when they are held by hand, so Nikon includes an adapter that allows the Monarch binoculars to be easily mounted on a tripod or other support system for hands-free use.

Designed for the discerning traveler and adventurer, the Swarovski 10×30 CL Companion Binocularutilizes Swarovski’s iconic proprietary coating systems to deliver high-contrast images with accurate true-to-life color and virtually zero distortion across the entire generous field of view. Powerful 10x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects, while the generous apparent angle of view produces an immersive visual experience with greatly reduced appearance of distracting hand-shake that is often associated with holding high-magnification optics such as this. Styled in green armoring and engineered with an ergonomic profile, a non-slip focusing wheel, and twist-up eyecups, the CL Companion offers a comfortable viewing experience for long observation sessions.

Swarovski’s SWAROBRIGHT phase-correcting coatings applied to their premium roof prisms eliminate color fringing and aberrations for enhanced color fidelity and contrast, while their SWAROTOP coatings on the other optical surfaces maximize light transmission, transmit neutral and natural color fidelity, and improve contrast and clarity. The outer lens surfaces are further coated with Swarovski’s SWARODUR coatings, which offer scratch resistance and allow oils, saps, and water to bead off. This not only helps to keep the surfaces clear, it makes cleaning them easier.

Weighing just 17 ounces, the CL Companion chassis is made of a lightweight and strong magnesium alloy, with a short and compact bridge to further reduce weight. The bridge design provides a large surface area for the hands with a comfortable and balanced feel in the hand. This trim form factor is relatively light and small enough to pack and travel with ease and won’t cause strain when worn around the neck for prolonged periods. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled to prevent internal fogging and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and submersible for short periods of time. This model comes with the Wild Nature accessory package, which includes a 1000-denier coated nylon field bag and a strap.

Zeiss 10×25 Terra ED Compact Binocular (Gray-Black)

Tue, 13 May 2025 10:00:30 +0000

Zeiss‘s gray-black 10×25 Terra ED Compact Binocular gives you a competent and compact optic that fits easily in the palm of your hand. A combination of technologies work together to produce bright and clear images with increased contrast and true color rendition that include: Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms, Schott extra low-dispersion (ED) glass, and anti-reflection fully multicoated optics. The Terra ED is offered here in a10x power, which walks the delicate line between an increased viewing distance over lower magnification optics, while maintaining a useful field of view.

The lightweight housing is nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed enabling it to withstand use in wet and snowy weather, and the rubberized armor offers protection from impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip. The Terra’s double-hinge closed-bridge design allows it to fold compactly for an easy fit in most pockets or packs, while the knurled center focus wheel enables fast focusing. Twist-up eyecups make it comfortable to use with or without eyewear.
