Marine binoculars

Compared to the other uses for binoculars, the marine binoculars have to deal with a few specific problems. These are:

1) The motion on the water

2) Waterproof / Fog proof

1 ) The motion on the water à magnification and objective lense.
- To compensate for the movement of the water, it is recommended that your marine binoculars have no higher than 7x magnification.
- The wider the aperture (objective lense), the more stable your image. A 50 mm objective lense is commonly recommended for marine binoculars.

If you do want to have a higher magnification or a smaller aperture it’s a compromise with vision quality. There is a solution for both problems but it is expensive. You can buy a binocular with image stabilization. Image stabilization is a good fit for marine binoculars.

2)  Waterproof / fog proof
Not surprisingly a waterproof binocular is an nescity when it comes to marine binoculars. Waterproof is not the same as water resistance or weather proof. Waterproof is built right into the binoculars. The best water proofing is nitrogen filling – You will definitely need this even even there will never get any water on your marine binoculars. Mainly because of the moisture in the air on the water they will still be damaged.

Some marine binoculars have a compass and a rangefinder. Neither of these is really needed but they are nice gadgets to have. Take care with the rangefinder, be sure that you buy one with a filter so that it will measure distance through fog, humidity, etc.
