Defense forces and intelligence agencies use binoculars to observe the enemy from a safe distance. Although there are many other specifications and qualities which determine the usefulness of binoculars, we will discuss in this article the primary characteristics for determining the best fit for your application.
The first thing to know about a compact binocular is that it is two small telescopes mechanically linked together. The same goes for hunting binoculars, and in both cases they should be lightweight, but probably with a smaller magnification, and larger objective. For most uses, look for a objective diameter that is five times the magnification power.
You will need a magnification factor of at least 7, maybe up to 10 if you have a steady hand. So if you have a pair of binoculars with 8x magnification, they should have an objective diameter of 40. Distance measuring is important, but binoculars with a wide field of view allow you to see a larger picture, and keep an eye on several objects at once.
If you plan on using your binoculars in low light conditions, you may want get an even higher objective diameter, such as 8x50. Many of us have looked at the moon through binoculars. It s beautiful with the naked eye, and even more grand when we can see it enlarged.
You can get a closer look of mountain ranges all over the world, so go and get a pair and get out there. A night vision monocular is another option
