The compact binoculars segment is one of the most popular choices for customers who appreciate the lighter weight and size of binoculars carried with them on mountain trails or backcountry hikes. Compact binoculars allow us to carry them in a pants or jacket pocket or directly on a neck strap thanks to their decidedly smaller size.
The main difference is the size of the binoculars' tube. The small diameter means that less light will enter the lenses, which will result in poorer visibility in poorer lighting conditions (night, very cloudy day). Eyepiece diameters in ranges up to x35, due to their size, will not occur in magnification values greater than 10-12x. With such small diameters, magnification greater than the aforementioned 10-12x will make it difficult for us to find the object we want to look at, since the human hand is not a tripod, the image will vibrate or jump with even the slightest movement of ours.
An important point that you will notice right away is the design of the compact binoculars. Unlike their full-size versions, compact binoculars are designed with Roof (Roof-prism) construction. It means that, the lenses are placed in one line, there is no need to use prisms as in the case of binoculars with Porro design. Thanks to this solution, the binoculars retain their performance while reducing their size. The compact binoculars feature focus adjustment by turning a knob located on the "roof" between the eyepieces. The classic way of adjusting focus will allow anyone to quickly master the operation of the binoculars. In addition, as in most models, so in compact binoculars we can also adjust the distance of the lens from the eye (for example: when looking through the binoculars with corrective glasses) and the diopter on the right eyepiece, with which we can compensate for small differences between the left and right eye. Compact binoculars will be a great choice, because, despite their smaller size, they retain the ability to use such technologies as dry nitrogen filling, waterproofing and specialized coatings on the lenses in their parameters. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the offer of compact binoculars in the Military.pl store Available products of such well-known and well-liked manufacturers as Bushnell, Walther or Tasco.
