Introduction
Lets take a look at some of the best compact binoculars that there is out there! When looking for a pair of binoculars serious things to take into consideration are:
Light transmission: A very good set of binoculars will have at least 90% light transmission. The light transmission is measured by the analyzing how much of the light that enters the binoculars reaches the pupil of the person looking through them. This is exceptionally important for hunters who rely on that last hour of darkness to see their quarry.
Quality: Who they are built by, how they are built are all the key things you should be looking at. The names of brands that I will be mentioning in this review are at the top of their game and have been around for several decades.
Other features Include:
- Magnification
- Field of View
- Waterproofing
So without further a due lets take a look at my top suggested brands and models of binoculars:
