Best Buy Binoculars

We are often asked to recommend binoculars as many people find the choice bewildering. In this section we've set out binoculars that we think are particularly good value. We've tried to cover a wide range of prices so you can find one that fits your budget.

Although it is labelled 'Bird Watching' the binoculars in this section are suitable for all types of general and leisure use. They also give very rewarding views of the night sky, especially the full-size ones.

The Astronomy Section includes binoculars suitable for hand-holding as well as larger ones that need a tripod. The hand-held ones can be tripod mounted using an L-type bracket. We have only included 10x magnification in the 50mm binoculars; some people prefer 7x for astronomy but 10x is our personal preference. For younger people or smaller hands any of the 8x binoculars in the bird watching section may be more suitable for hand-holding.
