Orion GiantView Binoculars

Orion GiantView Binoculars

Of their astronomy binoculars, the GiantView series is probably their most popular and if it is not, the fact that it contains their largest model, the super giant 25x100mm GiantView, it certainly makes it the most spectacular!

The GiantView series currently (at the time of writing) contains two models, as well es the 25x100, there is also a 15x70.

Both models use BaK-4 porro prisms and come with fully multi-coated optics and i like it that both configurations allow for an exit pupil of more than 4mm, which along with the coatings allow of the brightest images possible.

This is a very important consideration when choosing binoculars for astronomy and indeed high powered long distance observation on land.
