Where there's life, there's action. Are you ready for action? Nikon Action Extreme WP 10 x 50 binoculars feature an all-metal chassis with lens fittings housed in a tough, lightweight polycarbonate body shell. Like all Nikon All Terrain Binoculars, the EX is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for total waterproof, fogproof and shockproof performance in any environment. The binocular bodies are ergonomically shaped, tripod adaptable and are rubber coated for a non-slip grip, whether wet or dry. The new Extreme ATB offerings utilize high-resolution lenses and prism systems crafted from Nikons exclusive Eco Glass, which is made without the use of arsenic or lead. This lens system provides an extremely clear, distortion-free image over the entire field of view. The lens elements each incorporate multi-layered anti-reflective coatings formulated to deliver optimum brightness, high contrast, true color rendition and flare-free viewing in most lighting conditions. The Nikon Extreme series binoculars feature a unique, click-stop eyecup design that not only delivers long eye relief, but also allows for variable eye relief that is customizable to the users own eyes and eyeglasses. So check out the features and don't procrastinate. Take Action! Twilight Factor 22.4 Center Focus control Waterproof & Fogproof Tripod mount adaptable Unit Dimensions - 7.3 x 7.2 (186 x 182mm) WxH / Weight - 2.25 lbs (1020 g)
I knew I wanted big binoculars to add to the two (I thought) adequate, smaller binoculars I'd used for outdoors. I knew I'd use them everyday from the house to watch wildlife, and only infrequently use them on the trail. Once I'd looked through the Nikons, though, I haven't picked up the others and know that I'll wear myself out carrying these around rather than sacrifice clarity and brightness by using smaller binoculars.
Remember that the closest focus on these 10 x 50s is about 17 feet. I stand back from the window to watch birds and squirrels close to the house. A squirrel 20 feet away pretty well fills the field of vision.
At this price, buy them. You might want a harness to steady them and spread the weight around if you'll be carrying them a lot, such as when hiking, or looking through them for a long stretch. They are heavier than smaller binoculars, as you might expect, but that's the trade off to consider when buying binoculars--magnifying power, brightness and clarity of vision versus weight and bulk.
Also, if you're a neophyte to binoculars (or, like me, already know how to do everything and thus tend to ignore the directions or anything you can't figure out on your own), read the directions and use the diopter. Embarassingly, I only just started using it when I got these. Maybe I never would have noticed the difference on the binocs I've had in the past, but I certainly notice it in these excellent units.
Astronomical use of binoculars really puts them to the test. Suffice it to say, the optics are absolutely wonderful, especially for the price. Both tubes are perfectly aligned. Stars are sharp and show color quite well across virtually the entire field. The large objective lenses pulled out detail on fainter objects. It was easy to use these binoculars with my glasses or with my contact lenses with the easily adjustable eye cups.
These binoculars performed extremely well on the photo safari. Part of the safari was at night and we used spot lights to see the animals. I was able to see the remnants of spots on lion triplets we found but could not get close to. I was able to see the color of the eyes of a white lion we were able to get close to.
I highly recommend this product. The Amazon seller delivered these very quickly. The entire transaction has been a delight.
1. It had good reviews and I would agree.
2. Excellent results during the day and at night. Observing the moon was really great!
3. I use them on my boat and being waterproof is a must. Plus, they are light enough to use for different reasons (long or close viewing). I even brough them to a Rutgers football game and my buddy really liked them (including myself).
4. They have a really nice feel in your hands. They are very well constructed and the rubberized coating makes them easy to use and comfortable.
5. You could use them for birding/hiking (short viewing distance) but you might consider a smaller size (7X40). Again- you have to decide what you are going to use them for. I wanted more power for longer viewing distance.
Lastly- Amazon offered the best price and the binoculars were delivered quickly and without any problems. I really like these binoculars and would recommend to anyone.

At this price, buy them, but consider a harness
A quantum leap up from even name brand binoculars from the big box stores. This is a great deal.

Excellent optics, great price
I purchased these binoculars for a trip to South Africa. This would be my first experience south of the equator to observe the southern skies. I also planned a trip on a photo safari to observe the native animals.
Astronomical use of binoculars really puts them to the test. Suffice it to say, the optics are absolutely wonderful, especially for the price. Both tubes are perfectly aligned. Stars are sharp and show color quite well across virtually the entire field. The large objective lenses pulled out detail on fainter objects.

Very good for the price!
I took my brand new binoculars to NFL game and the image quality was excellent. I enjoyed looking into the huddle! I did notice that if you have wobbly hands, it would be difficult to see the faces of the players clearly or read names on the jerseys. But I am not sure if could find a binoculars with image stabilization for this price. This is an excellent binoculars at budget price. 2008-12-01
Couldn't be happier with our purchase!
These are great for birdwatching, even at dusk. They allow in enough light that we were able to see the waterfowl on the lake as we were kayaking at dusk. We are extremely pleased and the customer service has been excellent. We are looking to buy a second pair. It's hard to share when you zero in on a rare find and then have to turn the binoculars over to someone else to see! 2008-11-16
Great price for these binoculars!
I bought the Nikon Action 10X50 Extreme binoculars around 7/01/08 and here is what I found:
1. It had good reviews and I would agree.
2. Excellent results during the day and at night. Observing the moon was really great!
3. I use them on my boat and being waterproof is a must. Plus, they are light enough to use for different reasons (long or close viewing). I even brough them to a Rutgers football game and my buddy really liked them (including myself).
