TASCO 178125 Binocular 12x 288 ft 10.56 oz

Compact 12x binocular for daytime use

The TASCO 178125 is a roof-prism binocular with 12x magnification and a 288 ft field of view. Fully coated optics deliver bright images in good light. It weighs 10.56 oz and measures 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches. A carrying case, neck strap, lens cap and lens cloth are included.

Suitable for hikers and event-goers.

The 12x power brings distant subjects close, making it useful for trail spotting or stadium seating. The 30 ft minimum focus distance limits close-up observation. No tripod mount means extended glassing requires steady hands. The unit is not weather resistant, so rain or heavy dew should be avoided.

12x magnification decides the use case

Twelve-power magnification narrows the exit pupil and amplifies hand shake, so a stable stance or support is needed for sharp views. Buyers who want a wider, steadier image or plan to mount the optic on a tripod should look at lower-power or tripod-adaptable models.
