  • Episode 1: I compare magnifications of binoculars, scopes, and monoculars at close range.
    For this optics zoom comparison test, I used a variety of binoculars, spotting scopes, and monoculars, all with different magnifications (4x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 16x, 20x, 30x, and 60x zooms) and different objective lens sizes all of which were directed at a bird feeder located less than 5 meters away.

    📒100% Honest, Real Reviews, Advice & Opinions📒
    I would like to make it completely clear that like all the reviews and advice that I give on the #BestBinoculars Reviews video channel and website, this is my honest and completely genuine opinion and I am in no way compensated to describe a binocular in a particular way or with a bias.
    In other words, if I think a binocular or a feature on it is great, I will say so. If I think it is rubbish or it is weak in certain areas, I will also point them out.
    Before writing and publishing any binocular review, I thoroughly research, test, and use the instrument in my office as well as out in the field. I also conduct comprehensive comparisons between the binocular under review with a number of benchmark binoculars in both good and bad light conditions.

    Excellent video. As I am getting older, I am seriously considering Image Stabilized for handheld binoculars. It would be great if you can do a similar test for IS binoculars as it will help, not only which brand, but also which magnification would be optimal or point of diminishing return. For reference I currently have the Nikon M7 8x42 and love it. However, I really wanted a 10x42 or more mag but always felt that there is bit too much handshake for me to enjoy the image. So for me an ideal IS binocular will have the magnification from 12x or 15x.

  • @Seawolf159
    @Seawolf159 Місяць тому +1

    Came here to see if the Kite APC 16x42 would bring the objects too close compared to my 10 x42 binocular. As in, would it make the object harder to find and how dark would it be. Not sure I found the answer I wanted, but that was certainly not your fault. Amazing comparisons, thanks a lot.

    Great video as always bro, recently i bought bresser condor 10x56 binoculars, but the design seems different than the 8x42 and 10x50 design being sold now. İs my pair from the previous generation of the condor series? Or i thought maybe it is a discontinued model? By the way i paid 290 dollars for them, do you think it is a great price for them?

    • @Bestbinocularsreviews
      @Bestbinocularsreviews  6 місяців тому +1

      Hi, I have not tried them so can't say, but in general and in my experience a low cost variable zoom binocular tends to have a poor image and you are often better gent a fixed magnification or go for a spotting scope instead. Here is why: www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/zoom-binoculars.php

      Hi Ken - they are perfect every time - I think the low power helps with this, but even so the mechanism Pentax have come up with is simple, yet ingenious. One of my favourite fun devices - perfect for taking on a walk with the kids - makes it easier to share! Check out the review.

      @Bestbinocularsreviews  2 місяці тому

      Yes, a good 8x40 makes for a nice configuration (light gathering vs size) - It is much harder to find these days - now usually an 8x42 is the most common.

    Can I clean Nikon Action Ex binocular ocular & objective lenses? I have Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% concentration. The steps are blowing the dirt off with a bulb air blower, then using penbrush to get excess grit/sand/debris off, soak some lens specific microfiber towel in isopropyl alcohol to get rid of fingerprints and grease then finally wipe of with dry microfiber towel after breathing on the lenses. What do you think?

      @@Bestbinocularsreviews Thanks. I wanted to buy my wife a bino and could get a almost new, used Bushnell for a reasonable price and was looking for reviews. I then went to some local stores to see if they have the specific model in stock which they did. I did not tell them I am looking to buy a used one so they are not bias for or against Bushnell. The three stores I visited all told me that they don't have good experience with the Bushnell guarantee and would not recommend it. What I learned from them was that Leopold and Vector has a very good guarantee and actually honor it. At the end I bought a Vector Optics.

      Yes I agree. With smaller companies and brands, I find that I often get a much better service than with larger "faceless" ones. Smaller optics companies are also often very happy to answer my questions, are open to advice and even change their products based on feedback.

    You certainly have your very good reasons, but from the 'Best Binocular Reviews' channel, it is extremely disappointing that since IWA 2023, 3 months ago now, no one word, no one test, no one review about what can be considered among the best binoculars in the world, Swaro NL Pure !!!!
    Personally, I've had these binoculars for a year and I know what to expect and their qualities... but it would have been interesting to have your point of view, and it must be very disappointing for many of your subscribers !!!
