Small Wonder, Broad Scope
This particular model offers 10x magnification and a 21mm objective lens diameter. As it sounds, 10x magnification produces an image that appears as if the user were ten times closer to their subject, while the objective lens diameter refers to how much light can be gathered to form that image. For daytime use a lens diameter of 21 to 25mm is ideal.
Also worth taking note of is the exit pupil. Here that is 2.1mm, which for 10x21 binoculars is arrived at via 21 divided by 10 = 2.1 exit pupil in mm, so in line with the 2-3mm which is generally thought of as being suitable for daylight use. Another thing to take into account is the field of view, which here is 87 metres, and is defined as the width of the viewable field at a distance of 1000m from the point of observation. Closest focusing distance is 2.2 metres.

These were the first I had bought and did a lot of online research and took a chance buying online knowing nothing about them. Was extremely pleased with them though. They are very very small and very light so not only easy to carry but easy to hold for lengthy periods of time. Image clarity is very sharp and they are comfortable to use. Excellent magnification and great for wildlife spotting. Best thing about them is you can always have them to hand as they are small enough to fit into any jacket pocket. High quality product which I would definitely recommend.

I can completely recommend this product - my partner was absolutely delighted with them. They come in a very nice compact cover, and are easy to carry around,
Great magnification too, already taken them along on our long coastal walks in Pembrokeshire - very clear view.
Only negative, is the protective lens slip on rubber covers - they do not stay on very well, and we have now thrown them both away, as not essential.
