Nikon Monarch 5 12x42 Binoculars

Sometimes a split second is all you have for that dream sighting of a rare bird, but with decades of design experience, Nikon know how to engineer binoculars that are easy to use and quick to adjust. With this in mind, features have been included to provide effortless operation ensuring you get the very best from these accomplished sports optics. So whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or use your binoculars without either, you’ll have the perfect view of your chosen subject. Compensating for differences between your left and right eye, the twist-type dioptre ring helps you achieve the sharpest possible image, while the high-eyepoint design provides a clear view of the entire field even when wearing spectacles. For comfort, the multi-click turn-and-slide rubber eyecups can either be positioned outwards to provide a good eye rest or retracted when using sunglasses or other eyewear.

Built to handle any environment, a fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate body covered in rubber armouring for shock resistance means the Monarch 5 series is ready to withstand extreme use. The rubber housing also provides a firm, non-slip grip even in the wettest conditions. Flip-down objective lens caps protect the lenses from everyday knocks while allowing quick access when it’s time to jump into action. With a conveniently compact design, these lightweight binoculars are perfect for handheld outdoor use and can be worn around the neck with the wide neoprene strap provided or mounted on a tripod using the TRA-3 tripod adaptor supplied with the 16x56 and 20x56 models.
