Observation optics
Observation optics extend your vision in the field: spotting an animal, estimating a distance, checking impacts on a target. Each instrument has its specialty and is chosen according to the activity.
Which instrument for which use?
- Binoculars: the versatile tool for two-eyed observation, from hiking to wildlife watching.
- Laser rangefinders: precise distance measurement for hunting and sport shooting.
- Spotting scopes: high magnification for static long-distance observation.
- Tripods and mounts: the stability essential for high magnifications.
Magnification, objective diameter, lens coating and waterproofing are the criteria that set models apart.
