Product Information

The hinge of the middle bridge moves smoothly and evenly, by about 35 degrees. This sets the interpupillary distance from 2.36 inches (6 cm) to a maximum of 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), which fits most people. When you hold the binoculars in your hand for the first time, the thing is more compact than expected. Well, it’s 12×25. It’s very light, just under 10 ounces, and has grippy rubber armor on what appears to be a polycarbonate chassis. Mechanics As a pair of binoculars for kids, we think they fare better than the similarly priced National Geographic 6x21 binoculars which we've also reviewed because of the increased size of objective lenses, even if we can't tell precisely how much higher. The Occers also have a closer minimum focusing distance so they can be used in and around the house to look at things 'just for fun.' Whereas, with the National Geographic pair you need to be stood a reasonably long way away, which some children might find frustrating. If the Occer 12x25 compact binoculars aren't for you: When you google who the manufacturers are, you often come across large companies that manufacture electronic components and all sorts of other gadgets. In terms of quality and performance, these optics are quite average. They provide bright and clear images with minimal color distortions, especially when there is good lighting. Thanks to the easy-to-use and strategically placed focus wheel, obtaining a laser-sharp focus is also easy.

An exact specification regarding the eye relief was not given in the product description either. I then just allowed myself an approximate estimate. With the help of a strip of paper and a light source, I get about 10 to 12 mm.

The foldable eyecups of these binoculars make them suitable for most users, including eyeglass wearers and kids. Moreover, they are made of soft rubber, ensuring you a comfortable glassing experience for prolonged hours. You can easily adjust the eyecups according to your pupil distance, but for some users, these optics’ interpupillary distance (IPD) is not wide enough. These binoculars are equipped with a high-resolution BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lens coating. With these features, they deliver a crystal clear viewing experience almost instantaneously. The lenses produce natural colors with little-to-no color distortions. At the same time, they help prevent visual fatigue.BaK4 was specified in the Mksutary specs, but if you carry out the test just recommended, it seems more like BK7 prisms.

I have to admit that I was really amazed when I was looking first through the Mksutary binoculars, I expected worse. Of course, it’s nothing earth-shattering, and even if the optical performance leaves a lot to be desired, for so little money, you can not ask for more. Are They Worth It? I’ve never heard of the Mksutary brand before, but yes, the budget binocular market is teeming with weird new brands that nobody has ever heard of. In terms of optical performance, sharpness, and contrast, the image quality is not nearly as good as in somewhat more expensive binoculars. But what can you expect at such a low price?

Lens coatings also play a role since they optimize the binoculars’ ability to gather light and prevent glares. Fully multi-coated lenses are preferable for birding because they have multiple anti-reflection coating layers on all air-to-glass surfaces, giving you the best possible views of your favorite tiny creatures. At 12x magnification, this pair of binoculars brings the image 12 times closer than an unassisted eye would. Because the magnification of this pair of binoculars is higher than 10x, it makes steady viewing a challenge. If you are moving, such as on a boat or in a moving vehicle, the binoculars might not be steady enough to allow you to view far away images. Field of View

In terms of quality, the image is clear enough to see details of objects and follow their movements 300-450 feet away. A decent image at that too. But there’s some aberration and distortion at the edges that will gnaw at pro users’ needs. However, the optical performance of binoculars depends not only on the magnification and the lens diameter but also to a much greater extent on the quality and processing of the optical glass. These binoculars are suitable as all-around binoculars for anyone who wants to see far stuff a little closer, without expecting great optical performance. The low price makes them particularly attractive for beginners or nature lovers who leisurely want to observe wild animals, scenery and nature, or sporting events.The repeatedly advertised low light or night vision is not really to be taken seriously. These compact binoculars are unsuitable and not usable for low light conditions, simply because of their small collecting lense and also small exit pupil. To tell the difference hold the binoculars into the light and look at the exit pupil. If it’s a BaK4 glass you can see a beautiful round exit pupil, it is a BK7 prism angular shadowing appear. These budget-friendly binoculars are ideal for almost every novice and occasional user, thanks to their foldable rubber eyecups, long eye relief, and user-friendly focus mechanism. Whether you are buying one for yourself, getting a useful novelty item for a kid, or gifting a friend, they are worth considering. The equation calculator allows you to take a simple or complex equation and solve by best method possible. A 25mm lens is quite small, but sufficient for daytime observation when there is enough light. Less so when the light is rather weak when it is cloudy or you are out in the shady forest. After all, in a 12 x 25 instrument, the exit pupil is also quite small with just over 2 mm, not very suitable for twilight or at night with only little residual light. The so-often advertised “night vision” does not exist with such compact glasses.

These Occer binoculars are ideal for beginners and occasional enthusiasts. Since they are lightweight and affordable, they are also suitable for kids. Prisms are essential in binoculars to see an upright normal image. Frequently used types of glass for prisms are the crown glasses BK7 and BaK4, the latter being more expensive but giving the Bino better optical performance in terms of resolution and a bright, color-true image. Nonetheless, there are a few exceptions, such as the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars. They have a 12x magnification at only less than 9 oz.

magnification is quite a lot for small compact binoculars and might bring stability issues. It could be difficult to hold the thing still so that the images don’t blur, which is difficult because of the low weight. While these optics work well enough during the day, they are not very useful as night-time optics (you’ll want to look into night vision goggles if you want something with built-in infrared illuminator). Nonetheless, color distortions are hardly noticeable during the daytime. The Occer 12x25s are popular–at least they seem to sell really well–because they have a very appealing price compared to more expensive brands. That immediately draws attention to the question of its quality, and therefore more relevantly, to its usefulness.
