wanted: awesome binoculars for my boat

[Brett83]

I use the Bushnell marine binoculars. They're decent and seem extremely durable. They are physically fairly large. I picked them up for 350$ or so.

Vortex diamondback 10x42 or 10x50.

I have a set of the Vortex 10x42 for the boat and they do just fine for what I use them for.
What I wouldn’t do is get a really high end pair for the boat as that will be an accident waiting to happen.
You”ll be well and truelly pi**ed off if they end up bouncing on the floor due to movement of the boat.

i have some leupold gold ring 10/42 I use for hunting, I find hard to focus with on a boat, for just boat use I would go 8x32. If you a bit shaky like me you will see what I mean lol

for boat no more then 8 power. You are 100% right

I am on the water most days looking for whales and marine life etc. I have owned a lot of binos and I thought I would roll the dice with a chinese pair.

The quality of the glass is off the charts considering the price. I have Image stabilized binos and IS Canon camera lenses and these binos out perform them all ! quite heavy but can't say enough good things about them! I am in Victoria if you want to check them out.

My Nikon's arrived yesterday. Look pretty nice out of the box. Not super small. Come with a decent case and a neck strap. Coffee maker across the room certainly coming in larger so they seem to work inside my house. Hoping to try them on the boat if I get sneak out at some point this week before April. 1st closures.
