Binoculars – areas of use
Binoculars for bird watching
Binoculars are popular for birdwatching, and campsites are often close to nature and offer fantastic opportunities to observe different bird species in their natural environment. Plenty of information can be found online about birdwatching areas.
Stargazing
Stargazing is a popular activity at remote campsites, where there is little light pollution from buildings or towns. Having a pair of binoculars is perfect for gazing at the stars in the night sky.
Safety and orientation
If you are going camping, hiking, and exploring nature, it can be an advantage to take along binoculars. The binoculars can help you identify landmarks and detect any hazards or obstacles, which adds to your safety.
Binoculars FAQs
What do the numbers on binoculars, such as 8x42, mean?
The two numbers represent the magnification and the diameter of the lens. For instance, 10x42 indicates that the binoculars have a magnification of 10x, which means that they magnify the image ten times, while 42 is the diameter of the lens in millimetres, which affects light transmission, as well as the brightness and field of view.
