Product Description

The Oberwerk Long-Range Observation Binocular is the ultimate optical instument for the home or office with a view. With it's high-quality optics and comfortable two-eyed viewing, this binocular easily outperforms even the most expensive brass telescope. Using both eyes adds depth and perspective to the view. Includes two pairs of eyepieces on rotating turrets, which allow instant switching between 25x and 40x magnification. The clever Carl Zeiss design and military heritage make it a unique conversation piece. The "Classic" version, with it's pebble-grain hard rubber armor, has the look of a military antique. The "Contemporary" version, with it's automotive-quality champagne finish, has a modern high-tech appearance. Note: This is a giant binocular, make sure you have enough space to accomodate it. The binocular is 24" long and weighs 26 lbs. The tripod feet require a 36" circle of floor space.

These Binos are very very powerful with very good clarity. Easty to adjust and swap eye pieces. They are quite heavy though and this should be considered before buying. They are best for land viewing but are exceptional for astro viewing too. From 3 miles away under good conditions using the 40x magnification with a 6.4 eyepiece, you can make out peoples faces enough to tell if they are male or female . You MUST use the tripod with these Binos...they are NOT handheld in the least. Binos weight at least 26 lbs. I took a strong suitcase and cut out some thick foam to place the Binos in along with all my eyepieces and the tabletop smaller tripod -- it makes it easier to transport but you still need some muscles. The quality of the Binos and Tripods are real high and will bring alot of pleasure. Keep in mind for overhead astro viewing, youll need a Parallel type Tripod Mount because 45 degree eyepieces will only get you up so far from horizon , but for land viewing youll have no trouble at all.
