About this deal

When you hold the binoculars in your hand for the first time, the thing is more compact than expected. Well, it’s 12×25. It’s very light, just under 10 ounces, and has grippy rubber armor on what appears to be a polycarbonate chassis. Mechanics These optics have all the essential features to make your outdoor adventure enjoyable and hassle-free— all at an affordable price point. These features include BaK-4 Porro prism, powerful magnification, wide field of view, and decent low-light performance. But they all have one thing in common, they bring products on the market that are really unbeatable cheap, and often there are even tons of accessories included. Now let’s see if that’s any good. Mksutary 12×25 Poro Prism Binoculars

Nonetheless, there are a few exceptions, such as the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars. They have a 12x magnification at only less than 9 oz. Prisms are essential in binoculars to see an upright normal image. Frequently used types of glass for prisms are the crown glasses BK7 and BaK4, the latter being more expensive but giving the Bino better optical performance in terms of resolution and a bright, color-true image. BaK4 was specified in the Mksutary specs, but if you carry out the test just recommended, it seems more like BK7 prisms. There are quite a few of the 12×25 compact roof prism binoculars mentioned, all of which look pretty much the same and also have pretty similar specifications. When you read the product description, they advertise and promise a lot for very little money. Most of them brag with professional, high performance, FMC, low light, night vision, and so on. When looking at objects at different distances, it takes a long to focus on the object. As already mentioned above, this is due to the focus wheel that requires so much turning to focus from near to far. But once you have it in focus, the images in the inner 30 -40% of the field of view are satisfactorily sharp. Blurring increases towards the edge. But what’s there to complain, at that price.

25 Multiplication Table

I have to admit that I was really amazed when I was looking first through the Mksutary binoculars, I expected worse. Of course, it’s nothing earth-shattering, and even if the optical performance leaves a lot to be desired, for so little money, you can not ask for more. Are They Worth It? These binoculars are suitable as all-around binoculars for anyone who wants to see far stuff a little closer, without expecting great optical performance. The low price makes them particularly attractive for beginners or nature lovers who leisurely want to observe wild animals, scenery and nature, or sporting events. The fold-down eyecups fold down and stay down (unlike on the National Geographic 6x21 binoculars we reviewed). In fact, they are a little too easy to fold. We found it frustrating that any pressure applied to the eyecups when looking through them encouraged them to fold down. A little more resistance would be appreciated to prevent accidental folding.

If you plan on heavy binocular use and want peace of mind from a Limited Lifetime Warranty, we recommend purchasing from a big brand like Celestron or Nikon. The specs and claims from Occer don't quite match up and we would only know the real durability of this pair after a few months of constant use. The hinge of the middle bridge moves smoothly and evenly, by about 35 degrees. This sets the interpupillary distance from 2.36 inches (6 cm) to a maximum of 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), which fits most people.

The same applies to the color fidelity of the image. With everyday observations, the colors appear a little colder through the binoculars than in reality. But in no way disturbing.

Birding binoculars are common. They usually fall in the mid- and full-size categories. Particularly, 8×32 and 8×42 models are popular choices among avid birdwatchers. 8x is preferable to 10x and 12x because it has a broader field of view, which makes it easy to spot birds from a distance. However, that doesn’t mean that 10x and 12x optics are not at all excellent choices for birding. So for me as a non-wearer of glasses (only for reading) viewing with the Mksutary is problem-free and surprisingly comfortable. I’ll have to ask someone who wears glasses how he copes with it. Close Focus One of the major issues with the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars is magnification. Occer says they have a 12x magnification, but this appears to be overstated. If you know your binoculars, you will easily realize that they don’t have a power of 12x. They seem to fall somewhere around the 7x to 8x range. When it comes to binoculars, size is not necessarily proportional to performance. Sometimes, even the smallest ones are more powerful than the biggest. The Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars is a great example of a lightweight pair of optics that does a pretty decent job. We found the Occer 12x25 compact binocular eyecups a little too soft and they folded even with the slightest pressure applied. (Image credit: Tantse Walter)

Mksutary 12×25 Poro Prism Binoculars

When looking for compact binoculars that perform well in the field, magnification is one of the most important factors to consider other than the actual weight of the product. Models with a magnification of 8x or 10x are the best choices. They strike a good balance between power and weight. The repeatedly advertised low light or night vision is not really to be taken seriously. These compact binoculars are unsuitable and not usable for low light conditions, simply because of their small collecting lense and also small exit pupil. However, the optical performance of binoculars depends not only on the magnification and the lens diameter but also to a much greater extent on the quality and processing of the optical glass. You can join aluminium box sections by welding them, usually using TIG welding. It is also possible (and much easier) to use plastic tube connectors, which work by simply inserting into the ends of aluminium square tube or other box sections to create frames or longer lengths. Nevertheless, I think that you really can’t expect much for so little money, the thing isn’t even waterproof, and that is something you would want. For just a few dollars more you could get better instruments from well-known manufacturers. Don’t fall for all the buzzwords like high power and night vision, touting the product. 8x to 10x magnification is enough for a 25 mm objective. On a general note
