10 x 25mm COMPACT BINOCULAR The Observer Compact offers a really nice balance between portability and magnification. The 10x magnification is a great allrounder, getting you up close to nature without the need for a tripod to keep the view steady. Anything above a 12x magnification requires a very steady hand Two 25mm lenses lets in plenty of light, keeping the image crisp and sharp, but doesnt result in bulky optics you typically find with larger lenses.SINGLE HANDED LIGHTWEIGHT OPERATION The compact nature of the Observer Compact means you can easily operate the Binocular with one hand, leaving you free to hold your balance or guide book. Weighing only 250g, which is about the same as a modern-day smartphone, means you wont get fatigued from holding it. Measuring just 10cm x 9.5cm x 5cm makes it an ideal size to fit in any day bag or even a trouser pocket PROTECTION FOR YOUR BINOCULAR - ALWAYS - The Observer Compact comes with a felt lined neoprene carry case. This keeps your optics safe when not in use. When they are in use the robust rubber structure protects the optics from drops, bumps and scrapes. And if you happen to drop them in a puddle or get caught in a torrential downpour their waterproof construction will ensure no water will spoil your view.
