Nikon Prostaff 3S 10X42 Binoculars

Product Information

No matter which way you slice it, these binoculars are easy to use for long periods of time, and they're a great addition to any day traveler's toolbox. With the lightweight construction of the CL Companion binoculars and the impeccable build quality, you can be sure your investment will withstand the test of time, which is what you would expect as these are far from cheap. Celestron designed this one with more structural reinforcement to the body of the binoculars and the exterior casing is water resistant.

With such long run times, they can last the length of your hike and back (power source is 2 x AA batteries). The ideal audience is birdwatchers and astronomy due to its set up letting in plenty of light, its performance enhanced by multi-coated lenses, as usual for this class of binocular, along with class-leading BaK-4 prisms. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. These lightweight binoculars could accompany you on any hike, whether you want to spend a day birdwatching or an evening of night-time star viewing. The silver alloy mirror coating applied to the roof prism surfaces contributes to these binoculars’ lightweight profile, which is why they are relatively lighter than many polycarbonate binoculars.Phase coatings are applied on the roof prisms to enhance the optical quality, brightness and contrast.

Best binoculars for astronomy: If you're planning on stargazing, we'd recommend a binocular size of around 7x50. Yes, the magnification is lacking, but that's how they’re able – in conjunction with some excellent glass within a superb all-around build – to create an addictive wide-angle view of the night sky. Moreover, its construction lets you handle it comfortably over prolonged periods without experiencing fatigue. Another benefit of their lightweight design is that it makes them easy to hold for long periods of time – or hang them around your neck without fatiguing from the extra weight.Binoculars have lots of different specs, but two key ones are best to focus on if you want to keep things simple. Despite the compact proportions the view delivered is surprisingly crisp; thanks in no small part to class-leading ED glass elements. Yes, the Nikon Action EX 12x50 is heavy, but the extra power they offer (and for very little extra outlay) alongside their rugged design and clean crisp, and colorful images make them a great option if long-distance observing is your objective. Further notable features include a highly reflective silver alloy mirror coating on the surface of its prism lenses to deliver a bright and clear view. If you are intended to go for astronomy, cruise, whale watching or wildlife viewing, Clearly Nikon Prostaff 7s series is the best choice.
