I've found this pair of binoculars to have served me really well over the past few years and have helped me in all sorts of environments. Hope you like them as well!
Thanks so much for commenting, man! Yeah, like I told Sam I'm looking forward to using them more and getting used to them, binoculars generally take time to really get familiar with and used to... First impressions are sometimes illusory!
Thanks for this review! What do you think about this for stargazing? Does it give good detail when viewing the moon, neighboring planets and basic stargazing? Thanks,
I own a sibling of this model, the Nikon Aculon 12x50 (I wanted to buy a 10x50 or 10x42, but the local stores ran out of both). For context, I'm a user of eyeglasses. This pair of binoculars has brought me a lot of joy birdwatching, so despite its limitations I still think it's a fantastic device. I will still upgrade when I have the funds, because this pair of binos have a rather low eye relief, so it can't be used well with glasses on, even if I fully retract the eyecups. I always have to push up my glasses to use the binos, though I gotten used to it. All in all, a fantastic birding tool for its price, especially that I bought when it was on sale! I've seen so many cool species with this that it just outshines the issues I have with it.
Yeah, I do the same with my glasses. It's become an ingrained habit now though, so I hardly even notice I do it! Haha. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
I bought them for urban astronomy, since they are not nitrogen purged, but I also use them for urban birding. And they are fine for that job. For tropical rainforest birding since they are not fully waterproof I would not use them. They are really fine for astronomy and I enjoy them.
Hi Ricardo! Thanks for commenting. Yes, good point about tropical rainforest birding. It is slightly inconvenient that these are not waterproof - but I'm not annoyed by that just because they are quite affordable! Thanks for watching 👍
@@rodenreyes6320 some of my "amateur" friends publish in indexed astronomy publications and are part of teams with serious profesional astronomers. So yes.. Astronomy..
Considering that these Nikon binoculars are definitely not for me, I surprised myself staying until the end xD Great video ! The fact that you present and record it as a vlog make it pleasant to follow, it's great to hear you :D
Thank you Guillaume, for the nice video. First time watching your channel. I really enjoyed the natural beauty of your locality in this video. Where is this place?
Very envious of the rain forest and wet weather. Perth has been baking since the week before Christmas. We have a bunch of Aculon 7x35's that we (Birdlife WA) use to lend out to people at events etc. To me, they are best described as "perfectly adequate". If you were stuck with nothing else I don't think you would miss anything and you can still get lot's of enjoyment out of them. My main criticism of aculons is that for not that much more money (maybe $50 more online) you can buy a pair of prostaffs which are more compact and have better IQ throughout the width of the image.
Hi Jeremy! Sorry to hear about the baking weather in Perth... If I could send rain your way, I would! I think your comment as "perfectly adequate" indeed sums it up nicely... Thanks for watching as always! -G
Greetings, I have a question forfriends who are experienced in this field. As an amateur, I enjoy watching nature and the sky. To start, I was torn between Nikon Aculon 10x50 vs 12x50. Which one would you recommend and under what conditions?
Thanks for the review, this told me everything I wanted to know, ok for the price is not really what I'm looking for, chromatic aberration and outer edge distortion is a typical feature of budget bino's. I might have a look at the Nikon Action CF series.
Any word on where I can purchase after-market lens caps? I love the binocs but the lens caps are total garbage. It's a little bothersome that all these reviewers fail to notice that.
Hello! Thanks for the video. May I ask what the outer dimension on the carrying case? Trying to figure out if it will fit in my glowbox that have very limited space.
Hi there, thanks for watching! Unfortunately I couldn't find the exact dimensions of the carrying case, either online or in the paper instructions that came with the box. Hopefully you can get an idea from the video though!
Im not bird watcher. But i need binoculars to watch my car on parking slot because thief have entered few times on it. So can i get like good quality image on like 50meter away? And no im not stalking random ppl.
@@anubhavpathak2131 I actually haven't tried them for stargazing yet, I totally should! I imagine they are good because of the 50mm objective lens diameter, it lets a lot of light in... Cheers!

This are 10X50s!, I doubt you can fill them into a glove box.
Awesome. Thanks for the interesting review.
Glad you liked it!
I have the similar but 12x50. More interesting part of your movie could be "few minutes later". :-) How you put ? Thanks.
You live in Australia? I am so sorry bro.
Im not bird watcher. But i need binoculars to watch my car on parking slot because thief have entered few times on it. So can i get like good quality image on like 50meter away? And no im not stalking random ppl.

Hi, Anubhav! Thanks for watching!
@@guillaumethomasdoerig btw did u try star gazing with those nikon binos? are they good for stargazing as well, apart from birding?
@@anubhavpathak2131 I actually haven't tried them for stargazing yet, I totally should! I imagine they are good because of the 50mm objective lens diameter, it lets a lot of light in... Cheers!
ok cool 👍🏼
Good friend happy day
Thank you Yesid!
*Birding Use Kowa BD-II XD Series Wide Angel Roof Binoculars İdeal*
Hui thak
Aqui no Brasil esses binóculos custam uma fortuna 😮 mas sao incríveis...minha grana so deu pra comprar um Svbony mesmo 😂
Parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏👏
