This new compact Navigator model is equipped with the fluid damped, shock-absorbing and most precise compass in its class. The forums are dedicated to wild birds, birding, binoculars and equipment and all that goes with it.

I wrote a 15 page review of it,which can still be found in this forum's "Link to 433+ reviews" virtual library. mp Whether you're an avid birdwatcher, outdoor enthusiast, or just love exploring the details of the world around you, our discounted optics are your perfect companion. All models can be relied on under the most adverse weather conditions and they keep the promise of legendary Steiner robustness. The first was the extra wide field Orion Expanse 7x32,stated TFOV of 13 degrees,almost half of which I would describe as offering little more than "novelty value". It enables users wearing glasses to view the entire field of view as the binocular image is projected further out of the exit pupil.There are not many 7x30 binoculars on the market, which is a pity, and I like the – compared to an 8x30 – slightly larger exit pupil with all the advantages of a 7x binocular. You can also read more on Anti-Reflection Lens Coatings here, but essentially these coatings ensure that as little light as possible gets reflected in unwanted directions and away from each of the lenses and so increases the amount of light gets transmitted right through the instrument and onto your eyes. They are nitrogen pressure-filled (anti-fog) and waterproof to 5m, making them reliable under the most adverse weather conditions.

I have had several of the more entry level versions and quickly on sold them as they were nothing remarkable.

However, I would say that whilst I would not describe them in any way as being heavy, after a full day of kayaking, I did start to feel the weight of these Steiner Navigator Pro binoculars around my neck towards the end. In moderate and even fairly low light conditions I still thought these performed as well as I had hoped and it was only in very low light at sunset that the performance noticeably drops off if you compare them to a larger instrument like an 8x42 or 7x50 for examples. NITROGEN-PRESSURE-SYSTEM - Fogging up or the formation of condensation inside the binoculars is totally prevented by this high-tech proprietary solution.In addition, the binoculars can be easily grabbed and held with one hand to always ensure a safe navigation. The combination of the fairly traditional Porro prism shape and the excellent NBR rubber coating that Steiner uses on these just works.

Very interesting reading your findings about the latest Navigator, and great to hear someone as experienced as you stating the simple facts as they are. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.This was by choice as we were going as a family and thus as well as my camera, we had my nine-year-old daughter as well as our dog in the canoe. So I bought another pair for the farm and I reckon they save me time every single day, because the clarity they give saves me having to 'go see' what is going on.
