    Why some binocular has 180 magnification and other has 20or 30 magnification with more clear and more closely

    • @vitaminb4869
      @vitaminb4869 7 лет назад +1

      180x magnification? Haven't seen those. Most common ones are 8x or 10x. And cheap ones sometimes overstate their magnification factor, so beware.

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  11 лет назад

    Typically a bigger binocular is going to have larger objective lens. An example for comparison would be an 8x30 binocular and an 8x50 binocular. Although they both have the same magnification the 8x50 has a 50mm diameter objective lens which provides a brighter view but makes it larger and heavier. The 8x30 will be smaller and lightweight but will gather less light with its 30mm diameter objective lenses.

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  12 лет назад

    It sounds like the waterproof seal on your binocular has failed, and water got inside the barrel. Unfortunately, you'll probably have to send them in for repair to the manufacturer. If you'd like to talk further please give us a call at 1-800-289-1132. We'd be happy to help you out anyway we can.

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  12 лет назад

    I'm sorry to hear that your father's binoculars are not working properly. I recommend contacting Bushnell directly and seeing if they would be able to repair them for you. They are based in Overland Park, KS, and their contact number is (800) 423-3537. I hope they can help you out with the repair.

    Hi, does not the binoculars have zoom in and zoom out function ? I have one made for the army by the 'Zrak' optics, and it has the ability to zoom in while viewing farther objects and to zoom out while viewing closer, is this unique or all binoculars have it ?

    • @eagleopticsvids
      @eagleopticsvids  8 лет назад +4

      Eddie, I'd imagine a lot of the same principles apply for rifle scopes but Eagle Optics does not specialize in rifle scopes. I'd recommend giving our sister company, Vortex Optics, a call for any rifle scope questions. Phone: (800) 426-0048 or (608) 664-9856 or Email: info@vortexoptics.com.

    One reason this can happen is if you handle your binocular with bug spray on your hands that contain DEET. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to neutralize this once it's happened.

    Use this suggestion with caution, as I don't know if it would work, or if you would create more problems. But my thought was, if the suggestion about cleaning it with alcohol didn't work, maybe baby powder/talc? Remember, be careful, and use with caution. :P :D It may, or may not work. If you didn't want to try talcum powder, another suggestion would be just to rub it with a paper towel or tissue paper. It won't look pretty, especially on black rubber, but it might remove the tackiness.

    Thanks highly use full video & info. If 8 in [8-16x25 zoom] spec.is magnification, what is 16? Does this additional 25 zoom brings object closer &sharper?
    Kindly inform.

    • @eagleopticsvids
      @eagleopticsvids  10 лет назад

      An 8-16x25 binocular has a magnification range of 8x to 16x, and the 25 refers to the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters. This is a good indicator of how bright the binocular will be, as this number increases so does the brightness of the view. Overall though an 8-16x25 will not be a very bright binocular, especially at the higher magnifications, however the binocular will bring objects pretty close with the high magnifications.

    Does she meant "1 magnification", when she said "0 magnification"? I ask, because she also said, "n magnification" means "n time closer", so "0 magnification" would mean "0 time closer", which would mean "directly in the (what? outer surface of the eyeball, it's focal point, or something else?)".

Here's a link to the video: ruclips.net/video/PLAHZiasObw/видео.html. At 1:11 you'll see the naked eye view and by 1:30 you'll be moving up to 10x magnification.

      CountyBride The second number is the diameter of the objective lenses (lenses furthest from your eyes) in millimeters. It gives you a relative ideas of how bright the binocular will be. The larger that number, the more light is coming into the binocular.

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  11 лет назад

    Zoom binoculars are certainly still produced by several manufacturers, however they are not commonly used by birders or hunters. For one magnifications over 10x are difficult to hand-hold steady for a prolonged time, and with a 30-40mm objective lens higher magnification will not offer a very bright view. Also you will get higher quality optics in a fixed magnification binocular of the same price.

  • @captainmarvel9610

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  12 лет назад

    @MrFoxracing19 A 12x50 is about the largest binocular that most people can handhold comfortably. When you get larger than that it can become to heavy and the image will be very hard to hold steady. I would recommend that if you need more magnification you look into a spotting scope. You could get a 50mm-65mm scope that would still be fairly light and compact, but will have 15-60x zoom.

  • @eagleopticsvids
    @eagleopticsvids  12 лет назад

    @xfucktheworld831 It is true that nicer scopes will have more coatings on the lenses and prisms, and will use higher quality glass which tends to weigh more. The cheapest scopes will often be constructed with a plastic composite body, and the more expensive scopes use a variety or materials, sometimes heavier metal and sometimes lighter magnesium body styles. In general, I'd say you do not want a really light scope, but with the high end scopes weight isn't everything.
