Definition of a
Binocular
The
definition of a binocular is two identical or
mirror-symmetrical telescopes mounted side-by-side
and aligned to point accurately in the same
direction, one to be viewed through each of the
user's eyes. By contrast, relatively small
single-tube telescopes are often called "monoculars".
The
most popular style of binoculars is a hand-held
binocular, which is lightweight and a comfortable
size to handle. Hand-held binoculars are great for
sightseeing, birdwatching, opera, sports, hunting
and many other outdoor/indoor activities. Larger
binoculars are more difficult to handle and
uncomfortable to hold steady, these cool
binoculars are
usually mounted to a tripod for support and are
great for rangefinding or in times where a larger
field of view is needed.
Options you will find in various binoculars today
include auto focus, night vision and even digital
camera’s attached. Popular name brands of binocular
manufacturers include Bushnell, Nikon, Swarovski,
Steiner, Leica, Zeiss and Leupold to name a few.
If
you read a few online consumer binocular reviews you
can find much more useful information on various
styles, shapes and make of binoculars from all over
the world. Also view pictures, find details and
read peoples opinions of some binoculars. Compare
prices, find discounts and read features before you
buy, to make sure you get the most suitable pair of
binoculars that suit your needs.
