About this deal

These optics have all the essential features to make your outdoor adventure enjoyable and hassle-free— all at an affordable price point. These features include BaK-4 Porro prism, powerful magnification, wide field of view, and decent low-light performance. One of the major issues with the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars is magnification. Occer says they have a 12x magnification, but this appears to be overstated. If you know your binoculars, you will easily realize that they don’t have a power of 12x. They seem to fall somewhere around the 7x to 8x range.

Nonetheless, there are a few exceptions, such as the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars. They have a 12x magnification at only less than 9 oz. These binoculars are suitable as all-around binoculars for anyone who wants to see far stuff a little closer, without expecting great optical performance. The low price makes them particularly attractive for beginners or nature lovers who leisurely want to observe wild animals, scenery and nature, or sporting events. A 25mm lens is quite small, but sufficient for daytime observation when there is enough light. Less so when the light is rather weak when it is cloudy or you are out in the shady forest. After all, in a 12 x 25 instrument, the exit pupil is also quite small with just over 2 mm, not very suitable for twilight or at night with only little residual light. The so-often advertised “night vision” does not exist with such compact glasses. If you plan on heavy binocular use and want peace of mind from a Limited Lifetime Warranty, we recommend purchasing from a big brand like Celestron or Nikon. The specs and claims from Occer don't quite match up and we would only know the real durability of this pair after a few months of constant use.While these optics work well enough during the day, they are not very useful as night-time optics (you’ll want to look into night vision goggles if you want something with built-in infrared illuminator). Nonetheless, color distortions are hardly noticeable during the daytime. However, the optical performance of binoculars depends not only on the magnification and the lens diameter but also to a much greater extent on the quality and processing of the optical glass. The hinge of the middle bridge moves smoothly and evenly, by about 35 degrees. This sets the interpupillary distance from 2.36 inches (6 cm) to a maximum of 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), which fits most people. These binoculars are equipped with a high-resolution BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lens coating. With these features, they deliver a crystal clear viewing experience almost instantaneously. The lenses produce natural colors with little-to-no color distortions. At the same time, they help prevent visual fatigue. An exact specification regarding the eye relief was not given in the product description either. I then just allowed myself an approximate estimate. With the help of a strip of paper and a light source, I get about 10 to 12 mm.

In terms of quality and performance, these optics are quite average. They provide bright and clear images with minimal color distortions, especially when there is good lighting. Thanks to the easy-to-use and strategically placed focus wheel, obtaining a laser-sharp focus is also easy. When you hold the binoculars in your hand for the first time, the thing is more compact than expected. Well, it’s 12×25. It’s very light, just under 10 ounces, and has grippy rubber armor on what appears to be a polycarbonate chassis. Mechanics Prisms are essential in binoculars to see an upright normal image. Frequently used types of glass for prisms are the crown glasses BK7 and BaK4, the latter being more expensive but giving the Bino better optical performance in terms of resolution and a bright, color-true image. In terms of quality, the image is clear enough to see details of objects and follow their movements 300-450 feet away. A decent image at that too. But there’s some aberration and distortion at the edges that will gnaw at pro users’ needs. The Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars are built for mid- and long-range observations, such as birding and stargazing. Weighing less than 9 oz, they are portable enough for you to carry wherever you go.

For a powerful pair of binoculars, these optics are surprisingly compact and lightweight. It is rare to encounter models that claim to have a 12x magnification and weigh less than 9 oz each. The problem with this combination is that it is challenging to stabilize the optics. Shaking will likely trouble you more often than you’d like. These optics are suitable for observing objects at mid-range and long distances. Particularly, they are a decent choice for birding and a bit of stargazing. They may not be as powerful as high-end models, but they provide a far better viewing experience than the naked eye. The fold-down eyecups fold down and stay down (unlike on the National Geographic 6x21 binoculars we reviewed). In fact, they are a little too easy to fold. We found it frustrating that any pressure applied to the eyecups when looking through them encouraged them to fold down. A little more resistance would be appreciated to prevent accidental folding. There are several factors that determine how far a pair of binoculars can see. With the right binoculars, you can see celestial objects hundreds of thousands of miles away, and you can also see animals a few miles away. A pair of 12×25 binoculars falls in the class of compact binoculars, because the objective lens is less than 30mm (25mm). Factors such as atmospheric conditions, the weather, and brightness will affect how far you can see with the 12×25 binoculars. The Magnification

Take a look at the Celestron Cometron 7x50 binoculars, which we think are some of the best binoculars for kids. They are nowhere near as tiny as the Occers reviewed here but are still considered compact. To tell the difference hold the binoculars into the light and look at the exit pupil. If it’s a BaK4 glass you can see a beautiful round exit pupil, it is a BK7 prism angular shadowing appear.

Online Practice The smaller lens diameter means that less light is collected. This is not a problem in daylight, but you cannot use them at dusk or at night. 12×25 produces an exit pupil only 2 mm in size and only little light enters the eye. In low light or at night when the pupils are dilated, large exit pupils are required to see brightly enough. These Occer binoculars are ideal for beginners and occasional enthusiasts. Since they are lightweight and affordable, they are also suitable for kids. magnification is quite a lot for small compact binoculars and might bring stability issues. It could be difficult to hold the thing still so that the images don’t blur, which is difficult because of the low weight.
