Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Nikon has introduced an upgrade of the successful Travelite binocular series, popular with hikers, birders, and nature enthusiasts. The new Travelite V series binoculars incorporate several new features designed to make them more user friendly while enhancing optical performance. Each model in the Travelite series has 25mm objective lenses for maximum light gathering. Close focus distance is under 14 feet for all models. The field-of-view range is 294 feet for this 8x25 model.

Nikon Travelite V binoculars utilize precision ground, multicoated optics, and high-index BaK4 prisms for true color rendition, maximum sharpness, and enhanced light transmission. They also use aspherical eyepiece lenses that provide a very flat viewing field and offer markedly improved edge-to-edge sharpness over many conventional lenses.

A new, ergonomically contoured, carbon-fiber body makes the Travelite V easy to use for long viewing sessions without physical fatigue. The lightweight body encases a rugged all-metal chassis and is covered with a durable black rubber armor that provides added shock resistance and a positive grip in slippery conditions. It also features large, conveniently located central focus knobs and clicking diopters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product!, June 10, 2005

By	leelee (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Nikon truly makes excellent lenses for binoculars. The 8x25 is superb for bird-watching, concerts and vacation travel. The quality is extremely clear and they are very lightweight and compact. Really durable and high quality feel in your hands. Superb for eyeglass wearers. I tried the 10x25 and found the magnification too strong. The 8x25 makes bird-watching easier due to wider panoramic view. The 9x25 is also great and magnification is really the buyer's choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon Binoculars, March 8, 2007

By	Richard L. Gordon (State College, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We use our binoculars for the Metropolitan Opera and New York Philharmonic. For both, we usually sit in the highest levels. Thus, binoculars are needed for better views. We are on our fourth pair; in every case, hard falls were the wreckers. We selected this Nikon mainly on the basis of comparative reviews on Amazon.com and were led properly. Good prior experience with Nikon and its reputatiion were also factors. The binoculars are easy to use and magnify well. The actual supplier was one with whom I had previously dealt directly and found reliable. This was true with this transaction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nikon Travelite is the Right Name, September 12, 2009

By	Steven Lenkofsky (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wanted a lightweight, easy to carry pair of quality binoculars. After reading several reviews, I chose the Nikon V-7470 binoculars. This product is very lightweight, and performs as advertised. Adjustments are easy and the image is sharp for a product of this size and pricepoint. Overall, a very good product for travel, leisure and economy. I recommend this product.
