Thanks sir *Summary: 10x42 10 = 10x optical zoom 42 = 42mm Objective lenses diameter 2nd/1st number (42/10) = exit pupil (lerge number means more light) in nomal light, value 6 is perfect. But if you want to explore night sky you can go as high as possible/you want.* It was just what I need to know
@@GOHUNT Technically, zoom means something else in the world of optics. The number 10 means 'ten times magnification'. Zoom means you can have intermediate magnifications, usually by twisting a belt around the eyepiece or by turning the eyepiece from click detents to other detents. Click, click, click....5 times power, ten times, then 15 times, as general examples. So, the first number means 'power' or magnifying power (ten times) and zoom means you dial up or down how much magnification, or power, you want. Generally, as a tip, zoom binoculars are going to be of poor quality. Good binoculars, not great or prime ones, will have one power only, and cost at least $150, but the better ones run around $300-500. The very best, by Leica and Swarovski, Maven, APM, Nikon, and Fujinon, as examples, cost two to five times that much.
Help me out brotheer I'm i'm trying to buy some monoculars at Amazon so I could look at the stars and move which one do you think I should go 4 also I noticed that they have a few over a $1000 On a price tag and those got hundreds of magnification which numbers should I look at and go for when buying a monocular under a $100 which 1 is the best
I'm a newbie, bought a bino last month i.e 10 X 42 . Love it. Considering buying an astronomical bino 25 X 70 in the future . Thanks for the explanation
"Eye Relief" is the "sweet spot" distance for your eye from the ocular lens. It's important for astronomers. The diopter is for people that have eyes that are a little different. You look through the right side, then adjust the left diopter to match, so you don't get a headache. 15x or more magnification is good for gun scopes, and 8x is better for watching baseball, races, golf, etc.
Diopter is just another measurement scale for magnification. Just like Fahrenheit and Celsius measure the same thing, just using different scales. The diopter adjustment on a pair of binoculars is only on one eye because the magnifying mechanism itself brings the picture into focus for the other eye. The diopter adjustment just makes it where the two eyes have the same focal length. In other words it just accounts for differences in diopter between your two eyes
Ok. So I have what is knows as amblyopia (lazy eye). What do I need to know for this when it comes to choosing binoculars that will be best suited to this condition?
Thanks for focusing on the necessary points. My understanding was a bit blurry, but it’s much clearer now! Haha thanks man, great vid and what I needed.
A good effort. For eyeglass wearers with compact binocs, 8x20 10x25, check the eye relief. some are too short to work with glasses. Most larger binocs do not have that problem. Also the power does not just effect the field of view but the apparent steadiness of the image you are looking at. A 7 power image looks much steadier than a 10 power, the size and weight of the binocular may help. The exit pupil for good nigh/low light vison is 7mm. (The standard for night binocs was the 7x50.) The older you get the smaller your eye's pupil will open. This may be more for rifle scopes, but the larger the exit pupil the easier it is to see though the optic as the larger exit pupil will give you a little more "wiggle room" for eye alignment. That dark cresent you see when trying to look though the optic is the missalignment of you eye with the exit pupil. Optics have gotten really good and the "bang for the buck" is orders of magnitude better than decades ago. If you plan on needing binoculars, go with the best you can get as they will serve you well, perhaps for a lifetime, and will reduce eye strain and make using them for long periods of time much easier. The joy of quality remains long after the sting of the price is forgotten. No I do not sell optics, I just dislike trying to use cheap crap that is not worth the effort.
I need something with a fairly wide view but long range and very detailed and accurate representation of what i am seeing, no changing of color or depth of field no distortion. I want a clear image thats not dull.
Exactly the video I was looking for, background music is a bit loud but thanks for the effort and time you put into the vid! I’m looking to purchase a pair of binos for watching college football
This video is amazing, spectacular, and dare I say "eye" catching? Wow, I had no idea about the numbers or exit pupil, etc. You are an awesome presenter and speaker. Thank you!
Bigger the objective lens better light gathering capabilities mean better low light vision better early morning late evening viewing only drawback is size and weight especially with good glass oh yeah and cost
1: Magnification does not equal field of view, although, generally speaking, they are connected. 2: You don't mount your binoculars on binoculars, but on mono- or tripods. 3: "Objective" and "ocular" are adjectives that tell exactly what end of the binoculars they should be: objective ("pertaining to the object") toward the object, ocular ("pertaining to the eye") toward the eyes. Actually, that's why camera lenses are called "objectives" in many languages (French, German, Russian ...), the full term being "objective lens" - as opposed to "ocular lens".
Marco, Thanks for the question! We definitely want to make sure you get the pair that suits your needs and fits within your budget so we'd suggest calling in to our optics manager Cody Nelson to get a quick rundown on your options and the features that they encompass. Cody Nelson: Phone - (702)847 -8747 Email - optics@GOHUNT.com At an entry level price tag (around $250) we'd suggest the Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 or the Leupold BX-2 Alpine 10x42. As you jump to higher price points however, you're going to get a crisper / clearer glass, so we definitely suggest getting in contact with Cody to weigh out the options! Hope we were able to help, don't hesitate to reach out with any additional questions! Have a great trip!
@@GOHUNT , thank you so much for this tip. Nothing compare to search who really hold the knowledge. I really appreciate. Yes, I’m very excited for this trip with my wife . I’m a truck driver, now only locally in Los. Angeles area. No more 48 OTR. Alaska Will be my 50° th state to visit..

Thank you! This video was so helpful! To the haters of the background music; I didn't even notice it. And there are many videos that I won't watch because the music is obnoxious. 😂
This was a succint, well-put together video. Any recommendations for an everyday binocular? I'm not a hunter etc. I just want a pair for when I'm out at the beach or hiking etc. and want to zoom in. Anyone else reading this who has suggestions, let me know.
your eye pupil can use about 5 to 5.5 (40 years avg). Optics are critical early and late where exit pupil delivering as much light as your eyes can take in is critical.
Great Question, thanks for reaching out! We relayed the question to our Optics Manager Cody Nelson and this was his response... I would use either a Vortex Diamondback HD 10x42 or 12x50. Or upgrade to the Vortex Viper HD 10x42 or 12x50. I like the 10x's for the brighter image, wider FOV, and being easier to hand hold. But if a little extra magnification is needed the 12x is an excellent all-around performer that would only be a little less stable when hand-held but the image would be larger to bring in more detail. Either one would work well for this task. More than 12x would require a tripod or window mount for more stable viewing. If you have other suggestions please feel free to reach out to optics@gohunt.com
@@GOHUNT ty for the feedback. Will you be able to provide some specs of a binacular that can see the Andromeda galaxy? Tnx in advance and stay safe always.
hello one quick question , I want a good binocular for military puprpise , mainly survelience and descovering shooting threats miles away .which one should i buy ?thanks in advance
Ok, i got a pair for Xmas and never had any before. I set them up and sorted the focus with diopter etc…. But i did it withought using my long distance glasses.. should i be sorting focus etc with my glasses on or off? I’m not confusing my self. I have the focus so figured i didnt need my glasses as the binos are doing that for me.. am i right?
Basically okay, but you should add a few things to your demo: For eyeglass users look for binoculars typically with AT LEAST 18mm of eye relief (22 mm is better), otherwise you get black out. With more light comes much heavier binoculars, often MUCH heavier. I can't think of a reason why anyone walking around with a pair of binoculars needs anything much more than 10X and maybe 43. I you are looking at lenses with 15X56 you are most likely looking for submarines! Birders when they first start should look at 8X30 and once they get good with them maybe move onto 10X42/43. Remember the higher the magnification, the harder it is to find you subject. The larger the objective lens the heavier the binocular. Test first, buy later. You will be walking around with them all day likely.
Buy the best glass you can afford, you will not regret it. I bought a pair of Swarofski's that were much more than I wanted to spend and have loved every time I pick them up. They are so good i feel like I need to turn them off when I put them away.
The only thing I would like to know is , are all binoculars even the old old ones , are they all focused from like a certain footage to infinity or is that only the auto focus binoculars that are set like that ? Oh and what auto focus binoc should I get for star gazing . I used to own a pair that were awesome but have no idea what happened to them . Could you tell me what lenses would be best for that ...Thx
