Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The new Travelite V series binoculars incorporate several new features designed to make them more user friendly while enhancing optical performance.Nikon Travelite V binoculars utilize precision ground, multicoated optics, and high index BaK4 prisms for true color rendition, maximum sharpness and enhanced light transmission. The new binoculars use aspherical eyepiece lenses which provide a very flat viewing field and offer markedly improved edge-to-edge sharpness over many conventional lenses.The new Travelite V features large, conveniently located central focus knobs and clicking diopters. Each model in the series features 25mm objective lenses for maximum light gathering.A new, ergonomically contoured, carbon-fiber body makes the Travelite V easy to use for long viewing sessions without physical fatigue. The lightweight body incases 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.

The binoculars offer an excellent, bright image and are light and easy to use. I opted for the zoom version on the recommendation of another purchaser and have not been disappointed. This facility offers greater flexibility and is easy to use whilst viewing. Sure the quality suffers at highest magnification but it is still very acceptable.
This particular product is slightly larger than the standard 8 x 25 Nikon's that I had previously but easy to handle and fits nicely to hand. I use them primarily for bird watching but they suit a variety of general purposes and I rate them highly.

For a small, lightweight item these binoculars are very good indeed. The view is clear and bright although it does darken a little at the very highest magnification, that's only to be expected when you consider the size of the objectives. They are supplied with a carry cord and a material case which has a strong looking belt loop.
They have replaced my Pentax 8x21's as my go everywhere bino's, they are excellent for bird watching, aeroplane spotting and general `viewing'. Certainly light enough to take anywhere and OK for spectacle wearers too. They can also be used for astronomy at a push but, and here's the one caveat with them, at anything more than 10x power you do need help to hold them steady, a wall, table or even a broom, but you will need something as the FOV at the higher mags is very small indeed. I haven't done the math but suspect that while the FOV at 8x is 4.6 degrees it drops down to 1 degree or perhaps less at the higher mags.
All round though a first rate pair of bino's.

Everything you would expect from Nikon - excellent build quality and specifiction. The image is extremely bright at the low magnification end and acceptable at the x24 end. Well worthwhile having the zoom capability as the size and weight is for all intents and purposes similar to the non zoom models. Definitely recommend these binocs.

Very practical and effective
Had these nearly a year now and still very pleased with them. Used mostly for watching motor sports or birds, where a quick focus and zoom action is most useful

Nikon Binoculars
Excellent - small & lightweight, although a little difficult to stabilise on full zoom. A pity these weren't available when I was in Zambia for the bird and game watching

Impressive product
We were delighted with these binoculars as they met our specific criteria that they should be light and very portable as we tour by motorbike so space is at a premium. Read more
