Binoculars & motion sickness

[kGCAL]

If you are worried about motion sickness, try to get 8x42. We are pretty happy with our 10x42 binocular. Either one will bring out a lot of details on distant critters that are otherwise invisible to us.

You might try a set of image stabliized binocs. They are expensive and heavier than others but they do reduce image movement.

We got 10x summit and 8x VISTA for our previous trip after reading many reviews. We use 10x when we want to see things in distant and use 8x when we set out for whale watching tour. The best part is that we didn't have to fight over one pair since everyone gets their own. Their summit has a $35 off coupon (code: ZRS) right now. For its superior quality, it is really a good deal. We are considering ordering another pair for my in-laws who are coming with us next year.

 

 

My brother just got a pair of vista and everyone likes it. We will get another pair for our parents as well.

DH and I realized we can only handle 10x. We tried some higher power (16x) one and found we had to push our eyes against the glass to avoid seeing blackout. I cannot hold them steady at 16x either. If you don't have motion sickness, take 10x, otherwise, 7x or 8x will be good.

 

Unless you have a tripod adapter to stabilize your binoculars, 16x is pretty hard to handle. The viewing angle will be too narrow.

Got a free pair of 16x from a local charity prize drawing. It is almost useless. It's going to Salvation Army tomorrow.
