National Geographic 8-24x50 Zoom Binoculars
These zoom binoculars combine Porro prisms with a 50 mm objective and cover a wide range of activities - from birdwatching and sport events to your first views of the Moon and star clusters. The smooth zoom runs from 8x to 24x, so you can react quickly to any situation: at 8x you get a wide, comfortable field of view, and at 24x distant details stand out clearly. The rubber-armoured metal body sits securely in your hands and handles everyday outdoor use without trouble.
Bright, clear image in any light
The 50 mm objective lens gathers enough light for comfortable viewing at dusk or on overcast days. Fully coated green optics improve light transmission, colour fidelity, and colour contrast - the image stays clean and natural even at higher magnification. Dioptre correction and central focusing let you fine-tune the image to suit your own eyesight.
Comfort for long observation sessions
The fold-down rubber eyecups benefit more than just spectacle wearers - they reduce eye fatigue during extended sessions and block unwanted side light. When you need to hold an object in view for a long time without movement, the built-in tripod thread lets you mount the binoculars on a tripod. The image stays perfectly stable even at the maximum magnification of 24x.
