Minox BV 8x25 BRW Binoculars

From Harvey in Arkansas:

Really Neat Pocket Size Binoculars!
Rating: 5 (of 5)


I've been using Eagle Optics binoculars, the Ranger SRT 6x32 for several years & love it but needed smaller, compact binoculars for woods walking while hunting small game. After considerable comparison & investigation I ordered the Minox BV 8x25 BRW. I've used it almost daily since & am very pleased with its performance. Clarity & sharpness are as good as any compact binocular I've used, even some that cost considerably more. The weight & physical ergonomics are ideal for the purpose/circumstances under which I use it. Wearing it on my chest using a stretch type harness strap, it is almost unnoticeable 'til needed, & much more comfortable than my full-size binoculars or the mid-size binoculars. Also love the close focus feature which is great for bird/insect watching. I would have preferred a 'click' type eye cup adjust rather than the 'friction' but so far that has not been a problem as I wear glasses so the eye cups stay fully retracted.

These little binoculars from Minox are a great value for the money.
