Among the many outdoor tools and gadgets suitable for adventure enthusiasts, one of the most popular and essential pieces of equipment is your pair of superior Bresser binoculars. Binoculars are a keystone tool for everyday travellers, tourists, and hobbyists alike, as they offer unparalleled observational abilities and allow for greatly improved awareness in a variety of settings. No matter where you are in the world, there is always a good reason to take your Bresser binoculars along because you truly never know when they might be needed.

If you’d like to know how you can make the best use of these tools, which are well-known for their incredible quality and reliability, then we urge you to continue reading – we'll share some of our expert insights and explain why we, and almost everyone else, are so enamoured with these vision-enhancing pieces of equipment.

Bresser: A Powerhouse In The Industry

Did you know that optical instruments and equipment go far beyond the simple manufacturing of everyday eyewear like prescription spectacles and polarised sunglasses? There are many brands that focus on delivering quality eyewear for the purpose of correcting one’s vision. However, there are significantly fewer that deliver specialised, long-range gadgets and accessories intended to enhance your vision far beyond human capacity. Bresser is one of those brands, best known for their incredible selection of telescopes, spotting scopes, microscopes, and binoculars.

Professional And Personal Uses For Bresser Binoculars

Whether you’re looking to buy Bresser binoculars for professional or recreational use, there will undoubtedly be a perfect product for you on our Futurama online store. Professionals who invest in these binoculars often use them to enhance their long-range observation, including applications like surveillance, game-ranging, sports refereeing, wildlife research, and search and rescue operations.

Archaeologists, adventure guides, sports officials and commentators, and even military and law enforcement officials are among some of the top buyers, and Bresser binoculars are no doubt at the top of their wish-list. Binoculars can help professionals observe and study movements without disrupting habitats, identify animals and landmarks, monitor incoming danger, and survey and track celestial events and weather phenomena.

Perhaps you’re hiking in Cape Point Nature Reserve looking for birds, or maybe you’re in Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, trying to spot the big five – whatever the case, having a pair of binoculars on hand can massively enhance your experience. Animals and landmarks that would normally be too far off to adequately observe will suddenly be emboldened through impressive magnification; nature observation has never been easier thanks to Bresser binoculars.

Binoculars: How Do They Work?

You may be interested to learn that inside a pair of binoculars are prisms used to correct image orientation. These prisms prevent you from seeing your magnified image upside down and reversely reflected.

Binoculars usually use roof prisms or porro prisms, the former being more compact and thus easier to handle and more streamlined in their viewing capacity. At the same time, the latter features an offset light path that results in improved depth perception, but at the cost of a slightly bulkier build. Additionally, binoculars make use of objective lenses that gather light from whatever it is that you’re viewing. The larger the objective lens, the more light can enter, and the clearer the image will be.

If you are going to use your binoculars in low-light conditions, it is always better to look for binoculars with a broader objective lens. Each pair of binoculars demonstrates its magnification and the diameter of its objective lens in its specifications, dual numbers that will read something like “8x42”. The first number represents the magnification, and the second represents the diameter of the objective lens. Beyond that, binoculars also make use of focus mechanisms, lens coatings, and eyepiece lenses.

Using a central focus wheel and occasionally a dioptre to make adjustments, focus mechanisms enable the user to fine-tune each eye individually. If your vision is slightly impaired in one eye, this can be a very useful addition. Lens coatings are included to enhance contrast, improve transmission of light, and reduce the glare in bright areas or the effects of white light. Investing in things like lens coatings can be a great way to ensure image clarity with more accurate colours.

Five Ways To Use Your Bresser Binoculars

Let’s have a look at a few essential pieces of advice to help you enhance your use of these fantastic tools.

Nature Observation

Every great weekend away or adventure spent in nature requires particular equipment. In order for you to truly enjoy all of the immense beauty that the great outdoors has to offer, you should come prepared with the right equipment to keep you comfortable, mobile, and content. Most people know about the basics of camp gear and will always remember to pack their waterproof rain jackets, sturdy footwear, sunscreen, 5-litre water bottle, and fold out camping chair. However, far fewer people will remember to bring the essential tools needed to elevate their connection with the environment and its indigenous wildlife.

Among the most useful additions are items like field guidebooks to help you identify flora and fauna, GPS devices or compasses to ensure that you are prepared (both digitally and physically) to navigate the area, recording equipment or cameras to capture the sounds and sight of nature, and finally a pair of quality binoculars to help you assess the landscape in greater detail. Having these extra devices handy will bring you far closer to the real thing and help you become fully immersed in the spectacle. Lastly, it’s always recommended to bring a notebook and pencil. This way, you can record your observations and sketch the local scenery, perhaps even jotting down a thought or two.

Birdwatching

Birdwatching is one of those calming hobbies that many of us learn to appreciate as we get older, especially in a country like South Africa. Also known as birding, it is an exercise that involves identifying different species, recording your observations and noting behaviours, time of year, and locations, and then photographing your sightings and finally engaging with the local birding community. It is a great way to learn about biodiversity, visit scenic locations, and support conservation efforts. In our nation, there are over 850 bird species, each of which resides in a hugely varied range of habitats, from savannahs to coastal regions, mountains, and forests.

Birding combines a love of nature with the excitement of tracking and monitoring animals in wild contexts. Birds in flight are notoriously difficult to spot, and their ability to camouflage themselves only makes it more difficult for humans to pick them out in a landscape. However, with the help of a good pair of Bresser binoculars, one can fall in love with the beauty of these avian species. Among some of the most popular bird-watching locations in South Africa are Kruger National Park (home to the Lappet-faced Vulture, the Kori Bustard, Martial Eagle, and Saddle-billed Stork), the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (where the pygmy falcon lives), and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its pink-backed pelicans and African Fish Eagles).

Sporting Events

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the crowds at sporting events, and often there’s so much going on that you might find yourself missing the key moments of a match. Maybe your seats are a bit far removed, or the mascot is particularly distracting, or perhaps the set-moves were a bit more technical than usual – whatever the case, one can often overlook the most important elements of a match because of vision limitations. Using a pair of binoculars at a sporting event brings you far closer to the action, allowing you to soak in every detail and immerse yourself in the sport you enjoy. With a pair of binoculars, you’ll never have to argue without evidence, as your eyes will have seen in a clear, magnified view exactly where the referee went wrong.

When using binoculars for sporting events in particular, a magnification of 8 to 10x is probably the best route to take, as this will allow you to balance the image easily and keep a steady focus. Objective lenses should range from about 25 mm to 40 mm, as anything larger than that might be cumbersome to carry and hold. To track fast-moving action, you’ll also want a wider field of view. Additionally, it’s good to get a pair of binoculars with a good central focus wheel and dioptre adjustment tool so that you can pinpoint minor occurrences as sportsmen make their way around the field or stadium.

Travel

When travelling, it is always useful to have a pair of binoculars around so that you can view skyscrapers, castles, mountains, and moors in their full glory. While it sometimes feels impossible to take in the magnificence of a new city, and it is often unrealistic to walk through every beautiful section of a town, it is easy to whip out your binoculars and simply observe the scenery from afar. This allows you to see more and, consequently, understand the lay of the land better. Using binoculars, you can better position yourself within the geographical setting and observe the layout of any location. In this context, you’ll likely want something lightweight but with great magnification.

Astronomy

Yearning to see a shooting star on your next trip out of the city? With a pair of high-end binoculars, you’ll easily be able to observe celestial events, point out constellations, and connect with the heavens. You might find that the binoculars best suited for astronomy are a bit heavier, so we recommend using a tripod for stability, as well as giving yourself and your eyes some time to adapt to night-time darkness. These kinds of binoculars might require a special order, as they should have particular specifications to bring you closer to the awe-inspiring night sky. If you simply contact our Futurama in-house experts, we’ll be able to address your needs and point you in the right direction.
