Overview
Urbancoast built this 12x32 compact binocular for travel, hiking and casual wildlife viewing, keeping it light enough at about 12 ounces for pocket or bag carry. It is positioned as an affordable lightweight alternative to bulkier full size binoculars.
The 20mm eyepiece and 32mm objective lens aim to deliver a brighter image than typical 12x25 pocket binoculars while staying small enough for a jacket pocket, and the rubber armor coating adds grip and weather resistance for outdoor trips. It is built for scanning distant, wide scenes rather than tracking fast lateral movement like a ball on a field.
- 12x magnification, 32mm objective lens
- BAK4 prisms, fully multi coated lenses
- About 12 oz / 343g weight
- Rubber armor, water resistant housing
Who it's for
Travelers, cruise passengers, hikers and casual birders who want a light, pocketable pair they will actually carry are the best fit here.
Pros and cons
- Field of view too narrow for fast field sports
Performance notes
Twist up eyecups and generous eye relief are built in for comfort with or without eyeglasses, and the rubber armor housing is shock resistant for handling outdoors.
