Here's some binocular suggestions for Father's Day!

We know there's a vast range of binoculars available and working which is just the right one can be tricky. 

Here's some of BINTEL's picks for:

• Binoculars for the footy and cricket
• Binoculars for bird and nature viewing
• Waterproof binoculars for when you're out on the water
• Plus more!

Nikon PROSTAFF P7 - from $379 for quality, compact Nikon Binoculars

One of the more popular binocular ranges over many years for both sports and nature viewing has been the Nikon PROSTAFF line up. 

Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8 x 42 - $379

These are lightweight binoculars with a wide field of view.  They're waterproof, with oil and fingerprint repellant coatings applied to the front lenses.  BINTEL have the Nikon PROSTAFF P7 in 8 x 42 size as shown or the 10 x 42 for a tad more magnification.

ZEISS Terra ED - famous German optics for the outdoors starting at $549

The Terra ED series of binoculars are your pathway into owning quality optics from the famous German brand, ZEISS. 

The ZEISS Terra ED range starts off with the handy pocket sized 8x25 model shown for $549 and various other models include the 8 x 42 for $699 which is popular with bird watchers.

They're all waterproof, nitrogen filled to avoid fogging up and all use superb ED glass ZEISS lenses for extremely bright and sharp images.  If you already have a pair of binoculars and thinking about upgrading, bring them into BINTEL and do a side-by-side comparison with ZEISS Terra ED binoculars. You'll likely be very pleasantly surprised with the difference! Plus BINTEL are giving away a ZEISS Cleaning kit with every pair of ZEISS binoculars

ZEISS Cleaning Kit $69- free with ZEISS binoculars from BINTEL while stocks last

Celestron SkyMaster Binoculars  - Explore the night sky from just $175

Binoculars are an ideal way to explore the night sky.  You'll see tightly knit star clouds in the Milky Way, large star clusters, nebulae and more!

Celestron SkyMaster 12 x 60 Binoculars - $175

Astronomy binoculars like the Celestron SkyMaster 12 x 60 for $175 (shown) and the slighter more powerful 15 x 70 model for $199 are designed to be light for their size, allowing you to easily move them around and observe for longer. Their large front lenses also gather more light to help you see fainter details. 

Accessories standard with the $199 Celestron SkyMaster 15 x 70 Binoculars including a tripod adaptor

The Celestron SkyMaster 15 x 70 also includes a tripod adaptor to attach them to any standard photographic tripod for comfortable viewing for extended periods.

Celestron Nature DX 8 x 42 - The classic sized binoculars for bird watching now $329

There's no one size fits all for bird watching binoculars and that's why we love talking to folks about which binoculars are spot on for their use. BUT, if we were pushed to come up with a pair of binoculars that are the most popular size for bird watchers it would have to be 8 x 42 - eight times magnification with the front lens size of 42mm across each. 

These $329 Celestron Nature DX 8 x 42 binoculars are a perfect choice if you want an affordable way to get into bird watching. Bright clear optics and a rugged body will ensure years of service. 

Nikon Action EX 8 x 40 - Our choice for affordable sports and boating binoculars

The $239 Nikon Action EX 8 x 40 Binoculars are ideal all-rounders for both sports viewing and boating.  

These binoculars have a wide, 7-degree field of view.  You can quickly move and get a close-up view of the action - football, cricket and more. 

The "Action" part of name of the Nikon Action EX 8 x 40 Binoculars refers to the tough rubberised outer coating and waterproofing. This makes them perfect for boating, hiking or other outdoor adventures.
