Reviews of the Best Binoculars
I became interested in binoculars and optics in general whilst working as a safari guide (field guide) in South Africa. As part of my job, I would use binoculars every single day. The idea for The Best Binocular Reviews website came when I was looking for a new pair of binoculars for myself and I became frustrated at not only the lack of information on binoculars on the web, but also the lack of unbiased reviews.
The aim is to help in some small way by providing useful information on binoculars as well as other forms of optics, unbiased reviews on selected binoculars and brands as well as guides to buying binoculars for different uses.

>Birdwatching binoculars:Whilst you can enjoy birds without them, binoculars along with your bird book are the most essential tools to any bird watcher. But which pair is right for you, I review some of the best, cheapest, lightest, smallest, strongest birding binoculars in the market and what features to look out for when choosing your next set >> Binoculars for Birding.
Not only is it impossible for me to review every set of binoculars on the market, but I find that when I visit websites selling binoculars, I am often baffled by the sheer amount of binoculars all being described as the greatest on earth, or I am sometimes disappointed by the quality of binoculars being described as the ultimate binocular. My aim on Best Binocular Reviews is to provide you with the best reviews of the best binoculars, not the most.
When choosing which binoculars to review, I try and select only quality pairs of optics (Best Binoculars), so as you will see pretty much all the binoculars on this site are some of the best in their field. If I do review a binocular and I think it is rubbish, I will say so, or more likely if certain features fall short of the mark they will be highlighted. I would also like to point out that I am in now way compensated or influenced by any manufacturer, distributor of supplier to provide a positive review, they are all my own and truthful opinions. It is in this way that I hope that I can help you you make an informed choice.
Below are a few of my most recent featured reviews:

>LockDown Binocular HarnessOne of the most use full and for me the most innovative binocular accessory that I have ever is used is the LockDown Optics Deployment System. It is like no other binocular harness or binocular suspender that you have ever seen with many advantages over more traditional versions that includes a cover that protects your binocular and it's lenses, a "ShockCord" that not only securely attaches your optics to your chest when you are not using them, but enables tension free glassing when you are:

>Lowepro Field Station Belt Pack A purpose made binocular bag that has been designed to be used by birders, but is ideal for any wildlife enthusiast or researcher. This compact bag will not only enable you to comfortably carry your binoculars, but it comes with a "shelf" than makes reading from and writing in your bird book, field guide, sketchbook or notebook really simple when out in the field. It can also be used to carry and use your iPad or other tablet type computer.

>Best Binoculars under $200 / £200:Whilst I don't recommend that you get yourself the cheapest binoculars available (under $30) and I am not sure if you can say that at $200, they are cheap binoculars. But you can get some really great value for money optics at this price that are not only far superior to the almost unusable really cheap binoculars, but compare surprisingly well to top of the range versions. >> Best Cheap Binoculars under $200 / £200
>Night Vision devices:Open up a whole new world after dark. I take a look at the difference between night vision glasses and other night vision devices, including binoculars, monoculars and night vision scopes as well as discovering how they work and what features to look out for when deciding which one to buy >> Night Vision Glasses & Devices.
>Skymaster Celestron binoculars for astronomy:Perfect as astronomical binoculars, the Celestron Skymaster Binoculars (Celestron 15x70) feature high quality BAK-4 prisms and a tripod adapter bringing you excellent performance at a great price. Recommended for newcomers as well as astronomy enthusiasts >> About Celestron Binoculars, Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars.
>Marine binoculars:Binoculars that are specifically designed for a watery environment need to have special qualities, these include being tough and fully waterproof, some float and others come with a compass and are also rangefinder binoculars. Take a look at my guide to the >> Best Marine Binoculars.
>Women's BinocularsMost binoculars have a strong masculine look to them, but a few manufacturers have decided to design binoculars with a softer, more feminine look to them.
