Product Description

Hilkinson 8-25x25 Straight Zoom Monocular

Thanks to the convenient pocket size and its powerful 8x to 25x magnification, the Hilkinson 8-25x25 Zoom monocular is a perfect companion for a traveller and general observation or a nature enthusiast who enjoys close up studies of insects and flowers. It can also be used by the visually impaired to read such items as timetables, price tickets or other notices.

Weighing 125g and measuring only 13cm in length, it is a very compact monocular considering the powerful magnification available. These unique features make the monocular extremely versatile and also easy to hold, thus avoiding any fatigue common when using heavier optics for long periods of time. A large 25mm coated objective lens provides for bright and clear image reproduction which allows you to view the scenery in stunning clarity.

Thanks to the lower power 8x magnification, the monocular also has a close focus functionality which allows you to focus on objects under 1m away. This makes the monocular ideal for watching in stunning detail butterflies, dragonflies and other insects that maybe in close proximity to you. With the zoom you then have the option to go up to 25x magnification to view items much further away or in greater detail, without needing any additional bulky equipment.

Understanding: Magnification

Understanding magnification, typically denoted by a number followed by an "x" (e.g., 8x42), is essential for choosing binoculars suited to specific activities like birdwatching, hunting, or stargazing.

Higher magnification offers a closer view but may sacrifice field of view and stability, while lower magnification provides a wider field of view and is generally easier to stabilize but sacrifices detailed observation of distant objects

Understanding: Field of View

Field of view refers to the width of the area visible through the binoculars at a specific distance. A wider field of view allows you to observe more of your surroundings, making it ideal for activities like birdwatching or sports events where tracking fast-moving subjects is essential.

Understanding: Objective Lens Diameter

The objective lens diameter determines how much light the binoculars can gather, directly impacting image brightness and clarity, especially in low-light conditions. A larger objective lens diameter results in brighter and clearer images, making it ideal for activities such as stargazing or wildlife observation at dawn or dusk. However, larger objective lenses also mean heavier and bulkier binoculars, which may not be suitable for all users, especially for long periods of use or travel.
