A New Line of Vision
When it comes to binoculars whether it be for on-duty or off-duty, recreational purposes, the distance of ground they can cover and clarity are the key features to look for. I had the chance to try out the MeoPro Optika LR 10x42 HD binoculars from Meopta. Aside from being HD binoculars they also have a range finder included. This was extremely helpful when measuring the distance from one location to another and the accuracy was spot on. The range finder can be used to measure in meters or yards and was simple to engage with a touch of a button.
When it came to viewing an object from several blocks away, they were extremely accurate and have a magnification of ten times. The best part is you can easily take good, focused photos of what you are viewing without trouble. This makes them ideal for on the job surveillance purposes without using several other pieces of equipment. Each setting is simple to adjust so that you may get the accuracy and clarity you need. The binoculars have a cushioned area for your eyes so they are never uncomfortable to use and the image focusing knob is in a convenient location.
The MeoPro Optika is sturdy and durable yet not cumbersome. The positives about these binoculars are endless and they are equally accurate and clear at night too. They are great for using for work or for off-duty such as hiking and hunting.
