Binoculars for general nature observation, animals, Observationetc.

The Nature observation like birdwatching, is one of the of the most important areas of application for binoculars. Many outdoor enthusiasts want to get to know nature even better. They observe so many situations from a distance as if they were right in the middle of them. When choosing the right binoculars, it's all about personal preferences for image reproduction and the available budget. Four characteristics are important when choosing the right binoculars decisive:

1. Resolution of the binoculars - image sharpness
2. Colour reproduction - absolutely true to life
3. Brightness in coordination with the colour rendering
4. Reasonable, pleasant edge sharpness - a little edge sharpness corresponds to the nature of the eye
5. The largest possible field of view to experience the entire image spatially

Special requirements for binoculars for observing nature

Binoculars handinessOn the "Picture hunting" in nature it is very important that you have the binoculars quickly to hand and that they are not bulky. It is best if they can be gripped easily with one hand. Binoculars with thread on tripod and makes continuous observations. Then a weight of 1.6 kg, for example, does not matter.

We recommend a maximum weight of 900 grams for all freehand observations.Flexibility and focussing travel of the adjustment wheelOccasionally you have to pan back and forth a lot. Many animals are almost always on the move. You have to Then frequently refocus the imageas the distance also changes frequently. With binoculars, it is therefore important that the focussing can always be adjusted very finely and, above all, without play. It is also very important that the focussing wheel does not have to be turned for too long to get the "fast image" in focus. This is best tested directly on the binoculars.

It is important that the "Focussing speed of the rotation" The magnification has a direct effect on the rotational resistance. Binoculars focusing from: Binoculars with 7x magnification need to be focussed less often than 12x binoculars.

Binoculars image quality for optimum nature observation and monitoring

The most important thing when observing nature is the sharpness of the image coupled with the colour rendition! Exception: If you want to observe at dusk, the lenses get bigger!

Only if you recognise the fantastic details as they really are is fun. High-quality coatings for prisms and lenses are essential. In the case of roof prisms, this means that the prisms must have a Variety of dielectric layers must have. Only binoculars with Porro prisms can do without this - but the small field of view prevents many people from using such binoculars for birdwatching.

Recommended binoculars for observing nature such as animals, insects, mountains, etc.

We recommend a magnification of 7-10x for nature observation. Higher magnification is also possible for special applications.
