Nikon ACULON A211 10-22x50 Binocular | Multilayer coating, Porro prism Binocular with turn and slide eyecups, Tripod Adaptable | Official Nikon USA Model

If you want something for every day bird watching, distance viewing, or hunting from a blind, then this is a great choice! A deck or window with a big wide hillside view is the perfect place for the Nikon A211 10x50 binocular. For me, it's a little bit bigger than I'd want to carry while hiking or hunting, but that bulkiness also provides a clear and reasonably bright image compared to many other binoculars in this price range. It's a full size frame, and probably wouldn't survive a fall more than a few feet. As with all binoculars, those long objective lens housings are famous for getting knocked out of alignment. For walking and active watching or spotting, it would certainly be better to go with a compact binocular. If you do carry these, a neck strap or a chest pack would be the way to go. A wrist strap would get heavy and the bulky size would become an issue. The optics are bright and clear. The edges of the image are not clouded or fish bowl distorted like cheaper binoculars. The distance focusing is better than expected at this price range, and I'd recommend these as a standard for daytime viewing. The clarity and image color might not make the hair on your neck stand up, but if you've never used an extremely high quality binocular, these might give you the shivers. lol.. A true 10 power binocular of this quality, is well worth $120-$150 to a serious user, especially if you're using them according to their intended purpose. You would pay a lot more for this quality of image with other brand names. Though 10 power can be handheld, it's about the upper limit of a handheld. A tripod notably improves image stabilization at 10x. As a rule I don't like trying to hold anything over 10 power in my hands, so that makes the Nikon A211 10x50 binocular my number one recommendation, for best all-around daily use, and for people with steady hands.

Crystal clear binoculars with impressive focus, not too heavy and great zoom. For the price, they can’t be beat.

I've had these for a year now. They have held well so far. The clarity is the most important part of these binoculars. They perform very nicely. In bright sun or low light, they are real nice and clear view. You can see at least 1/4 mile away down to or across the field with no problem.

Great binoculars. Reasonably priced, accessory case, strap, and tripod included, detailed instructions, good optics, zoom works well, and whole system lightweight. But one small problem. Beware the hidden staple in the top of the plastic bag inside the small box inside the bubble wrap that houses the included TRA-2 tripod adapter. Got used to the ease with which the packaging was coming apart for the tripod adapter, so just tried to complete the final step of unwrapping the tripod adapter by tearing the plastic bag surrounding it with one finger. That is when I found the staple. One leg of the staple punctured my finger all the way up to the crown of the staple. Since staple was hard to see in the stretched out plastic bag, it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened, and it took a few seconds more to figure out how to dis-attach my finger from the bag and the staple. No big deal. Just a tiny wound just barely worthy of a band-aid. However, maybe this feedback will keep you from making the same mistake if you decide to buy these great binoculars and decide to unwrap the included tripod mount. Rating would have been five stars without the tiny puncture wound to a finger.

I have observed stars, solar system planets, constellations and star clusters and the Andromeda galaxy with this set from Nikon. I highly recommend this for night sky views as the optics are good and the set lasts well. The image quality is good and without distortion or coma. Using binoculars is an easy way to start for amateur astronomy. They also are useful for advanced astronomers as there is no setup time (like with a telescope). You will learn constellations and star hopping in a user friendly and fun way. This is required before you get a telescope. I have used mine for over one year and they function well like the first day.. There are books your local club can suggest for you and star maps you can utilize. A smart phone app like Sky Safari, Stellarium or the free version of SkyGuide is required to find / confirm the object you are looking at. You will need a zero gravity chair to fully recline and maximize the functionality of these binos. I leave my binoculars in the garage or in my car so they are close to exterior temperature, which takes away the cool down time required for quality viewing. I also got the 20X80 set of binoculars (from Orion) and they are just amazing. You will see a lot of detail in constellations and star clusters with the 20 times magnification. The first week I used that set, my mind was full of stars and star clusters I have seen that week. You will see many double / multi star systems in a very short time. This (20x80) is probably my favorite set as the magnification and objective size are perfect and reach the limit of 5 lbs for hand held weight. These two sets of binoculars will let you learn the night sky for a while before you even need a telescope. Once you are ready for a telescope, you can choose one a step above the beginner level, like a 10” reflector or a 130 mm refractor with a computerized object finding capability.

We purchased this binocular recently. We have the Nikon Action EX 8 x 40, which we absolutely love for birding and nature activities. The minimum focusing distance on this binocular, the Acculon A211, is 49.2 feet. It will be used, along with a tripod, for stargazing and mountain viewing. The weather has not cooperated very much for stargazing, but from what we have been able to see, the images are sharp, the stars are pinpoint and we will update after viewing the moon and planets. We expect to be able to see the moons of Jupiter and possibly some semblance of the rings around Saturn. The view of our moon from our smaller Nikon binocular, allows us to see the craters on the leading edge, almost as good as a small telescope. We have higher expectations for this larger pair of binoculars, particularly when zoomed in. The binoculars are not particularly heavy, the grip is nice and they are water resistant, although I think not waterproof. I did want to mention that there is a trick to using the eyepiece cap. TURN DOWN THE RUBBER ON THE EYEPIECES, as is instructed if you wear glasses. The single unit eyepiece cap will fit perfectly if you do this. A tripod is a necessity for viewing objects at higher magnification. The daytime views appear to be sharp and there are adjustments for central focus, diopter and a 10-22x zoom lever. The Interpupillary Distance is 56-72 mm. The tripod adapter is included with the binocular. Overall, this seems to be a decent unit and will update the review in the future.

good pair of bonoc's very happy with them . the 10-22 zoom is smooth really gets out there. quality is there. * just a side note does nikon make a 10-30x50 do they already have this?

Bought these after other binoculars I purchased here arrived out of collimation, and glad I did, the price difference being well worth it. These are very clear, across the full zoom range and take in a lot of light, resulting in a bright site picture, even in low light conditions. No distortion at all at full zoom. Clarity is great and weight is about right for this size of binoculars. Only thing I’d like to see different/improved is minor…the diopter covers have an integral attach strap, but the lens caps do not have any kind of strap, even to each other though they have an attach point.

Nicon perfect thanks

These 10x50's arrived quickly and with protective packaging. Crisp, colorful, bright, full views. Edge performance is good with not much dropoff in sharpness. Comfortable to hold and focus. These provide higher quality views than my other binoculars from a couple other well known, non-camera brands. Nikon knows optics! I use these for astronomy and they are well suited for this. Great for stationary viewing daytime or nighttime where they aren't going to be banged around. You may find them too heavy for hiking and not rugged enough for hunting and a roof prism binocular would be more practical for that type of use. I can't comment on how well the collimation holds up if these are bumped around a lot because I'm only using them for stationary settings. Value-wise, the superior views make these worth the extra money compared to non-camera brands selling for less. I haven't looked through really expensive binoculars ($500+) but I doubt the views would be that much better to warrant that extra cost.

This is a good bino for bird watching and exploring of surrounding as it is light, strong, finger friendly and having brighter image than other brands. Although it is made in China, it is nonetheless a top grade product with no flaw. I was into photography and bird watching since 1970s and had been using bino, scope and telephoto lens. The is the best buy in 10 x 50 .

High quality binoculars that are perfect for hunting, or bird watching. Often long distance binoculars aren’t ideal as they are hard to hold steady, however, these binoculars are easy to get a firm grip on. The zoom function is another great feature of these binoculars. Provides a wide range view when zoomed out and an extremely close up view on specific objects in full zoom. The performance alone beats other brands, but the price is the dagger. Easily comparable to $600-900 binoculars.

O binóculo é excelente estou gostando muito. O ponto negativo da compra é que tive que pagar mais O equivalente a 25% de taxa para o correio brasileiro / fiscalização. Se soubesse disso não teria comprado . Com isso demorou muito para chegar minha compra
