What are the advantages and disadvantages going with the STC over the ATC. I live in BC Canada and I’m looking for a new Hunting spotter

EL have great optic, but the fokus wheels sucks!

Enjoyed the review, thanks!, Looking more closely though, I'd expect for how much they cost that the seam line wouldn't be this much visible.

Hello, is it safe to clean the lenses on the NL pure with Zeiss wipes? I’ve read things about not using wipes with alcohol and the Zeiss smells like alcohol, but I’m not sure. Thanks.

i got so tired , this could have been a 3 minute video(maximum) but you keep saying the same thing all the time and overanalyzing everything.

Great video and as a wearer of eyeglasses eye relief is the number one spec I check. It would have been good if you were able to discus usable eye relief as well. I need about 15 mm of usable eye relief and I've found that unless the listed eye relief is over 20 mm I really need to know the distance from the lens to the eye cup rim to get the usable eye relief. Example, the Zeiss Terra EDs and Vortex Vipers 8x42 both list 18 mm of eye relief however the Vipers have over 4 mm of eye cup above the lens while the Terras have about 2 mm. So while they are both listed at 18 mm of eye relief, the Terra has about 16 mm of usable and the Viper has about 14 mm and only the Terra is usable for me. I've found this really limits what binos will work for me :(

Auto identification takes away the soul of birding

what are your thoughts about this vs Noctivid 10x42....I haven't tried them myself yet. Which one would you recommend, mostly for birds, wildlife and occasional astronomy

A nice overview which finally says it is your personal taste. Ok. But you are mum on the one hand holding capacity in the Zeiss, + the bridge, i mean), which is staring at you from the beginning. Any views on that. I cidentally Noctivid also has this feature. Thanks.

I purchased the NL 12x42 because of this well done review, great job. I was so happy with them I went out and purchased the 10x30 CL pocket too! 👍🏼

You have this kind of technology in phones these days... which I had no idea about until I did some digiscoping just this week, when I was reviewing my images it was telling me what species it was too, with a very high success rate when it was a clear image, I was gobsmacked!

I own Nl..I adore those binoculars..every time it enchants me..whenever I put it on my eyes I am amazed..colors, sharpness, contrast, everything is as it suits my eyes perfectly. It is expensive but as they say "you buy once, you cry once". How much money do we spend on cell phones and all those modern things that last for a few years? This is a quality thing to buy and have for a lifetime.

Love your video. Would be very interested how the new zeiss victory HT compare to these two.

A binocular for a hardcore birder needs to be very rugged, it needs to be in very good balance and it needs to be easy to use, I have the old, but excellent Leitz Trinovid 8x32 BA and 10x40 BA which I most use at home because I want to keep them for many years, I have broken one Leitz Trinovid 10x40 BA/N. My other two binoculars which I use in the field are the excellent Leica Ultravid 8x32 and 12x50.

I do not like the focusing of the Swarovski telescopes, I have the excellent Kowa Prominar TSN-99 with the excellent 40x, I think the Kowa are the best telescope for birding right now !

I'm very fortunate and I do own a pair of these. They are exceptional! I love the feel and the look of the binocular. The colors are stunning and the clarity is superb. Boy they were expensive )-: I don't regret my decision though.

So 2K binos and you do not call them Alphas??

I own both the ATX and BTX. The BTX is definetely the better choice. Not only is it more relaxed viewing, but also sharper and clearer. I have taken hundreds of pictures through them with my phone: The BTX is sharper. Maybe due to less glass compared to the zoom eyepiece? Anyway both are great! I love watching the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Pleiades etc with the BTX and the 115 mm objective 🤩

Thank you for the info. I'm definitely one that doesn't like carrying a tripod. Especially in some rougher countries. This is something I will buy for sure.

I would rather go for stabilized binoculars

getting ready to drop the big dime, was going swar but maybe not.

😅Only knows how to talk & talk & talk & never compared them side by side using see through by exit pup HD video view🤔🤔🤔

Clear and concise, many thanks.

Do the Swaros have a threaded mount for a tripod adapter?

Excellent educational video! Awesome! Very useful!!!!!!!! Do you remember Eagle Optics? They are gone now, but you all seem to be doing a wonderful job helping all of us learn like they used to do. Thank you!

I really appreciated this so much. I never thought about the importance of the exit pupil! Awesome education and video. Now, do you discuss the interpupillary distance in a video somewhere? I have a very narrow set of eyes and am having so much trouble finding binoculars that work. My pupillary distance is 53.5mm, just under the narrowest range on most binoculars, the 54mm. What bins would work well for me? Like the Zeiss Victory SF 10x32 did not work. I've been using very old Nikon Monarchs 10x42 that worked for years until the low end of their pupillary distance did not work on newer versions of the same bins. (Before that, I'd used Nikon Monarch 8x42.)

What are thoughts on the Opticron Verano 8x42 binoculars?

😊Is it NL 100% Edage to edage Sharpness same as EL or did u Fail again?

It would be nice to compare images from these binoculars next to each other in one shot 🙂

Thanks for the video. I was in the luxury position to choose between the two (I prefer 8x above 10x though). It was difficult to choose as they are both top, but in the end I chose the Zeiss, because of closer focus (a must if you also watch dragonflies and buttefiles), less weight and the focus wheel of the Zeiss felt better. I did not see any significant differences in optics, though I made the choise during a gloomy, rainy December day, also the broader field of view in the Swaro did not made me choose for it. Finally a customer made me make my final decision towards Zeiss. He siad that his wife had a Swaro and when something was wrong with it, Swarovski had great service. Then I remembered that phrase from my fellow birders "Great service by Swarowski!"" more often than not. As my previous binocular was a Zeiss 8x42 FL from 2004 I cannot recall how the service is by Zeiss. Because I never ever needed service by Zeiss!

I'm just getting into scoping and my cheap tripod is terribky unstable and renders the image unviewably bad. What tripod/head/support do you recommend for the most stability? Thank you.

nl pure 10x52, 14x52 ,10x42 실제 보여지는 모습을 카메라로 담은 영상도 부탁드립니다.

😢Edge to Edge Sharpness is how many % ! 90% or 95% or 100% ! Or just as same as Nikon only 80% E to E max only.

Hello, thank you for this video. I would like to see you do a video comparison between the image stabilizing Canon vs the Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD vs the best of Steiner Military or Commander series.

why do you need an add on forehead rest it should be in the price of the binocular not an add on thats just being greedy my dad has the nl pure and im not that impressed by them the el gave me more wow factor looking through them , i have the zeiss victory sf for me the best binocular ive ever looked through maybe im wrong but for my eyes the zeiss takes it

I already have a 8x42 NL Pure and a Zeiss Victory Pocket 8x25. I want to add one with more magnefication. Should i Buy the 10x32/30 Or better go for a 12x42?

Should i go for a 10x30/32 if i have a 8x42 NL Pure? And a.Zeiss Victory Pocket 8x25? Or better go for 12x42?

Hahaha i love how the guy says these are ideal as they're under 2k & ideal for someone not looking for an Alpha binocular!! In my book those are Alpha binoculars for god's sake!

I’ve got a pair of EL 8.5x42 for a few years (love it) and recently got myself a pair of SFL 8x30. I live in ranthambhore (India) so when I am photographing big cats, it’s easier to carry the zeiss along with my camera kit. When I am birding with my son, tend to use the swaro as the EL is sharper and gives more satisfaction with identification and closer viewing. The zeiss though is amazing for its size and weight, great piece of optics.

This video is the first one shows that BR balance rail works for BTX/115 + ME 1.7X😃

Hey, low light performance nl 14x52 vs slc 15x56- what is the better bino? On paper the slc is the winner, but would love to hear about a real world comparison.

The fact is if the SFL's said 'made in Germany' somewhere on them it would be a surer buy. But with these 2nd tier Zeiss's being put together in Japan it keeps people on the fence about it. Including me.

I'm glad you brought up the point of how far your eyes are located on a person's face I tried both the Zeiss sfl 10 x 42 and the Swarovski NL pure 10 x 42 which I found the Zeiss sfl a better glass for my face which I have now purchased. For 9 out of 10 people will prefer NL pure 10 x 42 but for me I can see the space between both lenses know matter how close I push the lenses together. It's unfortunate but what can I do.

For the price it costs it should come with a Dwarf assist that would pop out of the case and set it up for you. Only someone with expendable millionaire money should consider purchasing this. Anyone putting this on the credit card is a moron, because by the time you finish paying for it, it'll cost you double. Such foolishness.

Why did you exclude the Leica Noctovid from your review?

I was planning to buy 10x52, but thanks to your in-detailed video, that was save my money and usability. Good luck. Thanks again. From Sri Lanka

Interesting feature in the forehead rest... As an eyeglass wearer I've recently found myself pressing my thumb tips against my face, below my eyes, to achieve a steadier hold. Sort of happend on accident the first time but now I'm actively using the technique.

Very nice. Now maybe do some reviews of mid priced binoculars? Not everyone are millionaires you know.

Is there a difference between using the BTX + 1.7 doubler, comparing with the ATX - both at 60 x power? I mean: is the image a littlebit darker because of the 1.7 doubler or is there no difference at all?
