Nikon Binocular Review

Nikon Binocular Review

Jeremy Slaughter/personal collection

Nikon manufactures binoculars for a multitude of applications including nature watching, marine environments and hunting. Magnification and objective diameter range from 5x15 for general use to 18x70 for nature watching. Nikon designs all binoculars with rubber eyecups and other features to fit the user's ergonomic needs for all-day comfort. High quality multi-coated lenses are available on the majority of Nikon's binoculars providing superior light transmission for crisp images. Quality construction enhances the durability of each pair with additional features such as rubber armor coating. Other features include anti-fog seals, waterproofing, adjustable eyecups, variable magnification and built-in scales for measuring distances and dimensions.

Perks

Nikon integrates high-tech advances from their other product lines into the lenses and coatings of binoculars. Known for quality construction and durability, Nikon produces innovative binoculars backed by a 25-year warranty. Designed to operate in all environments, Nikon binoculars function in temperatures below freezing.

Sacrifices

Focusing on rugged construction and high quality imaging, Nikon sacrifices weight in many low-end models. Packing these models for extended backcountry trips add significant weight. Additionally, many models do not come with the features necessary to mount the binoculars to monopods or tripods.

Bottom Line

Consequently, Nikon delivers quality at value pricing with warranty-backed binoculars starting under $100. Enjoy the outdoors with clear distortion free optics using Nikon binoculars. To review pricing and order Nikon binoculars, visit the trails.com gear store.
