        Seriously man, come to the North Shore and NOrthern Beaches where young and men use binoculars to stare at half naked people while they're sunbathing on their boat. It's normal behaviour over there lol

            @ZeeFlyingMonkey: I completely butchered that sentence but I meant young women and men*. I'm just fishing (seriously I am) and girls are literally twerking and dancing to gross music while guys and other boaties cheer them on. Strange place the northern beaches is.

            It's like totally normal these days to have girls with thongs so high up their arses walking around and ordering coffees and food at the local beach cafe. I use to tell them that they have to wear a towel or shorts if they want to dine in. Caught a bunch of dudes taking photos with their phones and go pro things. Binoculars are just too obvious lol

    • Hellfire on 15/09/2020 - 10:26

      Not really.

      You'd want something like a Celestron Skymaster with larger magnification and objective lens. And mounted on a tripod to keep it steady.

      • OverBought on 15/09/2020 - 10:59
        +2

        I second what hellfire is saying: you need a larger aperture (ie the 42 number in 10x42) and magnification to see anything meaningful.
        But most importantly, a tripod to keep it all steady. You can still see the moon/Jupiter and just make out Saturn on 10x zoom, but a steady image is absolutely crucial.

      • wintersnow911 on 15/09/2020 - 12:37
        +2

        SkyMaster 25x70 or 15x70 for beginners? My 4 year old is obsessed with Jupiter and Saturn :)

        • Winston100s on 15/09/2020 - 13:25
          +4

          Go with the 15x70, the 25x70 doesn't allow enough light to enter for planets/stars observing. Normally when dividing the second number to the first(70/15=~4.7), you should be aiming for at least 5 otherwise the binoculars will be doo dark.

          • wintersnow911 on 15/09/2020 - 15:44

        • Scrobo on 15/09/2020 - 15:20

          You will 100% need a solid binocular tripod. They are heavy, and at that magnification even a professional sniper can't hold them steady enough to see the planets with them.

          • sixsense on 15/09/2020 - 15:28

            @Scrobo: Right. Even high altitude flights would need that. Also the accompanying tripod accessory makes it wobble, based on reviews I have seen.

          • wintersnow911 on 15/09/2020 - 15:45

            @Scrobo: Could you recommend a tripod please?

            • Winston100s on 15/09/2020 - 15:49

              @wintersnow911: A solid tripod would cost at least x2 the price of the binoculars. Just support the front side on something, backrest of a chair or a bar stool

  • myoda on 15/09/2020 - 10:57
    +3

    Good price, found 8.42 to be the sweet spot for hunting, however 10x42 are also excellent, you just need to have steady hands. Use Vortex Viper which are around 1k. Difference is in the glass/coatings and build. Able to make out more details especially in low light which is prime hunting times on the farm.

    Now looking for a deal on a decent monocular.

    After a high mag rifle scope around $1000 if anyone in this this thread has input? Somewhere where top end is 24x and higher. For long distance bench rest target shooting.

    • Logical on 15/09/2020 - 13:22

      Sniper?

      • 2jzzzz on 15/09/2020 - 14:46

        If you read, it's for long distance target shooting….

    • Problems on 15/09/2020 - 14:51
      +1

      Perhaps look into these:
      VORTEX VIPER HS-T 6-24x50
      Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP

      Just remember that magnification means nothing if the glass quality isn't great - all you will be doing is magnifying in on the impurities in the glass. Really, you should probably save up and spend a bit more. Maybe the Vortex PST gen 2 lineup or the Bushnell tactical series. Otherwise, I suggest you go for an upper magnification of 16 or 18 so that your money is spent on glass quality, not extra magnification which you cannot use.

    • myoda on 15/09/2020 - 22:03

      What's "long distance"?

      second hand might be your best bet. have two 3.5-16 x 50 Bushnell elite 6500 for longer range 300m max and they are excellent.

      So don't need anything beyond 24x on max zoom, could probably get by with 20
      Large objective is important so 50mm or above
      Clear glass = more money, but you get what you pay for
      Also think about what reticle you want.

      Can also think about custom turrets, which has preset distances for a certain grain of bullet of a calibre.

  • georgedn on 15/09/2020 - 11:48

  • bargainshooter on 15/09/2020 - 13:17

    Isn't a bak-4 prism better? What makes these better than this bak-4 kit? https://www.amazon.com.au/Gosky-Binoculars-Professional-Star…

    • Hellfire on 15/09/2020 - 13:35

      These are Bak-4.

      Just because they are the same type of glass doesn't mean the quality is the same. I don't know about the one you've linked, it might be better or not. Bushnell is a very respected brand so you can be sure the it's a quality product.

    • Frayin on 15/09/2020 - 14:25

      Not a clue.

      The ones in this deal look a lot better though. Wanted binoculars since I was a kid, so bought the Bushnell.

  • smartyhaha on 15/09/2020 - 13:19

    Is bushnell H2O better than this one?

    • 9839002 on 15/09/2020 - 13:21

  • Winston100s on 15/09/2020 - 13:30

    If you don't mind the extra weight/size, I would recommend this over the given deal.
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Olympus-118760-Trooper-10x50-Binoc…

    • trev likes bargains on 15/09/2020 - 14:29

      I already bought the one in the deal but.. why do you recommend this one?

      • Winston100s on 15/09/2020 - 15:16
        +1

        The optics on the Olympus are amazing for it's price range, so is the build quality. The larger number at the end x50 means it can absorb more light making it a better option for low light viewing. If you'd like to spy on your neigbours at night or observe the moon and not use a tripod, a 10x50 bino is the way to go. With a 10x50 bino you can also see stars you wouldn't be normally be able to see with the naked eye. Also nything over 10-12x will be too shakey to be handheld… So as I said if you don't mind the bigger size and extra weight I'd personally go for the Olympus. Nikon's range is also quite impressive but at a higher price.

        • Scrobo on 15/09/2020 - 15:26
          +1

          Be aware the Olympus are not nitrogen filled or sealed, so they can fog up internally and get moisture inside them. If getting those, thoroughly dry them and store with dessicant after use.

          I personally would buy unsealed binos any more.

          • Winston100s on 15/09/2020 - 15:45

            @Scrobo: Yes, you are correct however I've had them for over 3 years now and had no fogging issues so far. Maybe if I were to use them in very cold weather, but then i'd rather stay at home. Also worth mentioning that everyone who is ordereing these would get them early November as described in the description of the seller.

      • Hellfire on 15/09/2020 - 15:27
        +1

        It depends on your use case. The Olympus Trooper is a great budget bino but not suited to hiking, hunting or boating like the one from the deal.
