Where to Buy binoculars

It can often pay to shop around a little. Below are some of the best places on the web that I have found that sell binoculars. Please note Whilst not an exhaustive list, these are internet businesses that I trust, not a "man in a shed" or second hand ebay type retailers.

Stealth Birding Logo

Stealth Birding - Launched in 2018 by James Bix, Stealth Birding is a new startup that stocks a select range of quality binoculars, monoculars, spotting scopes and accessories specifically aimed at birdwatching rather than other types of viewing. Currently the brands on offer include Bresser, GPO, Vanguard, Kite, Avalon, Carson and Celestron, with more to follow.

As well as optics, Stealth Birding also supply a range of garden products including bird boxes and trail cameras as well as birding books, DVDs, tripods, and other accessories. For a more personal service that the likes of Amazon can never offer you, I certainly recommend taking a look.


First Light Optics Logo

First Light Optics - Launched in 2006 is the UK's largest astronomy retailer. So whilst FLO specialises in binoculars and telescopes for astronomy, they also stock a massive range of optics for birding, nature observation, marine and general use. They place a strong emphasis on product knowledge as well as customer service, hold plenty of stock so most orders are dispatched same-day for overnight delivery

*CommissionsEarned - Everyone knows Amazon, due to their size and buying power it often means that they have the cheapest prices. Amazon.co.uk probably don't have as many optics as the .com site, but they still have a very large selection of binoculars as well as spotting scopes & night vision devices. Well worth checking.

Ebay, like Amazon is one of the biggest brands on the web. In the past I was not that keen to recommend them, this was because I don't think that is wise to buy a second hand pair of binoculars unless you know or can really trust the seller.

Things have now changed on Ebay and there are now many, many brand new binoculars that you can "Buy Now" with no auction, and they are sold by trusted sellers. Thus the link above to Ebay will only show you binoculars that are new and sold by Ebay's Top-rated sellers for a buy now price (not an auction) - I feel they are well worth checking out and comparing against the prices of the other retailers above.

B&H Logo

BBR Recommended Retailer

The original B&H store opened in 1973, today it has grown to become one of the largest stores of it's kind in the US. In terms of optics they have a massive range and their prices are in my experience equal to Amazon and often better. Plus in my experience you get a far better customer experience should you need to ask a question or have something returned.

As well as their giant superstore based in New York, B&H ship products globally and offer a range of different shipping options within the USA. You can get most orders over $49 shipped free or if you are in the Big Apple, your order will be ready to collect in 45 minutes.
