Green Armored Hunting Spotting Scopes

Many people like the idea of using a compact binocular that they can slip into a shirt pocket, whether it is for bird watching, the theatre, or to get a better view at sporting events. But quality compact binoculars are very difficult to manufacture, and there are a lot of very bad buys out there. So what do you need to look out for, and how do you choose the best compact binoculars?

Well firstly, lets look at the drawbacks of compact binoculars. Compact binoculars typically come in 8x and 10x magnifications, with objective lenses usually of either 20mm or 25mm in diameter. Because of these small objective lenses, the glass and lens coatings need to be of premium quality in order to retain an acceptable level of brightness. The same goes for the very tiny prism used in this type of binocular, it needs to be manufactured to fine tolerances and have phase correction for the binocular to be usable.

In addition to the above design requirements, compact roof prism binoculars also have a very small exit pupil. This can make eye placement difficult and can make them tiring to use for any length of time.

All of this does sound very negative, but the fact of the matter is that quality compact roof prism binoculars are very difficult to manufacture, and therefore you do need to pay a premium to get yourself a good and usable instrument. If you look at the 8x20 or 10x25 models from top brands such as Leica, Swarovski, Zeiss and the Nikon LX-L and do not want to part with that sort of money, then you are probably better off looking for a slightly larger binocular such as an 8x32 or possibly a small porro-prism model. Because these are less demanding to manufacture, you will typically get a better view dollar for dollar than with true compact binoculars, and often they are not that much more bulky to carry around.

To summarize, the best compact roof prism binoculars are the rather expensive offerings made by Leica, Swarovski and Zeiss. My advice would be to steer clear of cheap compact binoculars, and instead go up slightly in size to an 8x32 binocular as a better compromise.
