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 220 feet for this 12x25 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 Oh, WOW!, December 28, 2008

By	Marney E. Mason (Galveston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A fine compact set of quality binoculars, at an affordable price. We own many sets of binoculars. These will undoubtedly be the most used. Shortly before Christmas, my wife said she wished we had a "good" set of binoculars that were easier to carry than our others. (Our others are at least 10X50s) I ordered her these for Christmas. I was not prepared for how small they are! I was plesantly surprised by the image quality. We will ALWAYS have these with us in the car and on hikes. We will decide which other set I get to carry on the day of the excursion. (Probably the 70X15s most days). The trade offs are that we do sacrifice a little image brigtness and some field of view, but for our uses, these are more than compensated by the reduced weight and smaller size!

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have owned and used Nikon Travelite binoculars for several decades. This latest one (7511 12 x 25) as always meets my bird-watching needs perfectly. Its new improved feature is that the right-eye focus knob click-locks in its increments - so that I no longer have to reset it each time I use it. A worthy innovation!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Travel Binoculars, February 3, 2009

By	MC Traveller - See all my reviews

We bought these binoculars both for use at home watching local wildlife and for travel. They are quite powerful and yet very light and compact.
