About this deal

The right eyepiece has a diopter compensation, it only says +/- on a small scale. The rubber eyecups pop out with a twist by about 1/20 of an inch (6 mm), which is sufficient given the short eye relief. The hinge of the middle bridge moves smoothly and evenly, by about 35 degrees. This sets the interpupillary distance from 2.36 inches (6 cm) to a maximum of 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), which fits most people. Birding binoculars are common. They usually fall in the mid- and full-size categories. Particularly, 8×32 and 8×42 models are popular choices among avid birdwatchers. 8x is preferable to 10x and 12x because it has a broader field of view, which makes it easy to spot birds from a distance. However, that doesn’t mean that 10x and 12x optics are not at all excellent choices for birding. There are several factors that determine how far a pair of binoculars can see. With the right binoculars, you can see celestial objects hundreds of thousands of miles away, and you can also see animals a few miles away. A pair of 12×25 binoculars falls in the class of compact binoculars, because the objective lens is less than 30mm (25mm). Factors such as atmospheric conditions, the weather, and brightness will affect how far you can see with the 12×25 binoculars. The Magnification BaK4 was specified in the Mksutary specs, but if you carry out the test just recommended, it seems more like BK7 prisms.

The Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars are lightweight, portable, and affordable. They have a BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lenses, delivering clear images with accurate color reproduction during the day. At dawn and dusk, they perform reasonably well considering their price.In the close range, I was able to bring it into focus at objects that are about 12 feet away, after seemingly endless turning of the focus wheel. Collimation As a pair of binoculars for kids, we think they fare better than the similarly priced National Geographic 6x21 binoculars which we've also reviewed because of the increased size of objective lenses, even if we can't tell precisely how much higher. The Occers also have a closer minimum focusing distance so they can be used in and around the house to look at things 'just for fun.' Whereas, with the National Geographic pair you need to be stood a reasonably long way away, which some children might find frustrating. If the Occer 12x25 compact binoculars aren't for you:

The lenses are fully multi-coated. This reduces the reflection and ensures brighter images. Anti-reflective lens coatings are essential, otherwise, modern binoculars with their many lenses would lose too much light so that everything would look quite dark through it.

Lens coatings also play a role since they optimize the binoculars’ ability to gather light and prevent glares. Fully multi-coated lenses are preferable for birding because they have multiple anti-reflection coating layers on all air-to-glass surfaces, giving you the best possible views of your favorite tiny creatures. Comparing it with other binos, ist not 12x, more like 10x magnification. But no matter, for a 25 mm lens an 8x to 10x is enough anyway. The thing is amazingly robust and can be used on excursions, hikes, or in your free time. The model is small, very light, and extremely easy to stow away, so you can always have your binoculars with you. Summary I’ve never heard of the Mksutary brand before, but yes, the budget binocular market is teeming with weird new brands that nobody has ever heard of.

When looking for compact binoculars that perform well in the field, magnification is one of the most important factors to consider other than the actual weight of the product. Models with a magnification of 8x or 10x are the best choices. They strike a good balance between power and weight.Looking past the dubious claims in online write-ups of these binoculars, as a pair of kids binoculars, or a handy portable pair of compact binoculars for adults, they will likely do what you want them to, for the price. They have fold-up eyecups and therefore, have two positions: up or down. The eye relief of 15mm is a tad short for spectacles wearers and best avoided unless users are happy to use the binoculars without eyeglasses on. The Occer 12x25 compact binoculars are tiny, even compared to small binoculars like the Celestron Outland X 10x42. (Image credit: Tantse Walter)

The size of the exit pupil is the result of dividing the diameter of the field of view by the magnification. For instance, with the 12×25 binoculars, the size of the exit pupil is approximately 2mm. This is low compared to a pair of 8×42 binoculars whose exit pupil is 5.25mm. This number indicates the size of the shaft of light that gets to your eye. The exit pupil also determines the amount of light that gets through the optics. A higher number means brighter images, which is especially useful in low-light conditions. A higher number also means that the object will still be bright, even if your hand shakes. The foldable eyecups of these binoculars make them suitable for most users, including eyeglass wearers and kids. Moreover, they are made of soft rubber, ensuring you a comfortable glassing experience for prolonged hours. You can easily adjust the eyecups according to your pupil distance, but for some users, these optics’ interpupillary distance (IPD) is not wide enough. Supplied in a planed finish which is easy to paint, stain, wax or varnish to complement any interior design or d_cor When looking at objects at different distances, it takes a long to focus on the object. As already mentioned above, this is due to the focus wheel that requires so much turning to focus from near to far. But once you have it in focus, the images in the inner 30 -40% of the field of view are satisfactorily sharp. Blurring increases towards the edge. But what’s there to complain, at that price. Distortion Take a look at the Celestron Cometron 7x50 binoculars, which we think are some of the best binoculars for kids. They are nowhere near as tiny as the Occers reviewed here but are still considered compact.If you plan on heavy binocular use and want peace of mind from a Limited Lifetime Warranty, we recommend purchasing from a big brand like Celestron or Nikon. The specs and claims from Occer don't quite match up and we would only know the real durability of this pair after a few months of constant use. These binoculars are equipped with a high-resolution BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lens coating. With these features, they deliver a crystal clear viewing experience almost instantaneously. The lenses produce natural colors with little-to-no color distortions. At the same time, they help prevent visual fatigue. These optics are suitable for observing objects at mid-range and long distances. Particularly, they are a decent choice for birding and a bit of stargazing. They may not be as powerful as high-end models, but they provide a far better viewing experience than the naked eye.
