Nikon Binocular's Sportstar Zoom
Nikon Binocular's Sportstar Zoom
ZOOM FAST AND SMOOTH
See exactly what you want to see with an 8-24x zoom. The zoom lever is in easy reach on top of the binoculars, so you can keep your eye on the game while zooming. It’s simple to zoom in and out smoothly, all the way from 8x to 24x. With no set magnification stops, you can easily find and follow your subject, feeling like you’re right there on the pitch or on stage with them. And the mechanical zoom has no need for batteries, ensuring your binoculars are always ready to use at a moment’s notice.
BE IN THE MOMENT
See sporting or music festival action clearly, making sure you never miss a second of your favourite teams or artists in action. All lenses and prisms are multilayer-coated for brighter images. Combined with the zoom capability, that means anywhere you sit can feel like the front row. Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups make it effortless to position your eyes correctly, and add viewing comfort.

With a 25 mm diameter lens and weighing in at just 305 g, these streamlined binoculars have a compact body, are lightweight, and feel comfortable in your hand. Carry and use them with ease – even on long days at sporting events, shows or concerts. Personalise your choice by selecting from three colours: dark blue, white or black.

Very clear and lightweight binoculars with very easy to use zoom bar.
I enjoy using these binoculars but over 16x magnification they are a bit blurred and dark. For small binoculars they work very well at night. When using the zoom function you have to refocus quite a lot. Up to 12x magnification it is perfect, much over that and they don’t work very well. I tried the Pentax and the Olympus equivalents but these Nikon ones seem to work the best and there are also no double-vision or edge blurring problems.
The sheer convenience of use, light in weight and fairly compact, they are easy to carry and ready to hand when needed. The optics are, of course, very good and the lever zoom function means you can enlarge a subject quickly and easily to see more detail and zoom out again just as easily. The higher magnifications available means you cannot hold them steady for very long and there isn’t a tripod option but that is beside the point which is to identify perhaps a building or some wildlife in the distance and then return to a normal magnification that you can hold steady. I’m very pleased and happy with this purchase!
My other 1/2 wanted some lightweight binocs to look at the birds at the bottom our garden. These seemed to get good reviews, arguably better than some that cost twice as much. Very pleased with them, the zoom makes them very flexible and powerful. Nicely made and easy to use.
Excellent binoculars that feel good in your hands. Easy to set up and use and have fantastic magnification and clarity of view. Everything that I hoped for and more!
Amazing but of kit for such a reasonable price! Well chuffed
The binoculars are, as many reviewers have said, excellent for the price. The case, however, has a loop for attaching to your belt and this immediately detached and the binoculars fell off my belt – fortunately onto a soft surface. I’ll just buy a better case.
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THESE BINOCULARS….(EVERY THING…)
WHAT I DON’T LIKE…( NOTHING…)
Vraiment top il est vrai! Rglage assez facile, image d’une excellente clart pour ce niveau de zoom, je les recommande vraiment. Le zoom est top pour trouver ce que l’on cherche dans le paysage puis zoomer dessus. Je ne mets que 4 toiles car le zoom maxi est inexploitable, l’image bouge trop et il n’est pas possible de les fixer sur un trpied pour gagner en stabilit. Dommage.
Je ne les ai pas gard pour la randonne, j’ai plutt opt pour une monoculaire bien plus pratique !
I use these for plane spotting, the zoom is smooth and easy to use, let’s you keep the item in view whilst zooming.
Only negative, is that if you go for a colour, I got the blue, they can scratch easily if your not careful.
Compared to other binoculars I have used so far, these are excellent. They are small and light enough to carry around, have a good field of vision for small binoculars and, best of all, the zoom is very smooth and easy to use.
Lovely and light! Easy for kids to have around their neck all day. Need to lean on something at higher magnifications due to any shake of the hand. Good clear images. Good first set of binoculars.
Binos are fine but strap broke first time out. Had to glue with strong glue. This aside I would recommend them
Nice product already have a large Nikon Binocular’s these are of the same quality, comfortable and easy to use with very good clarity even on full zoom, highly recommended
Lightweight. Nice styling. Good imaging and magnification. Well priced.
The optics mean you don’t press them against your eyes but need to position appropriately. Takes a short while to get used to but I don’t have an issue with that and they give great results.
These binoculars are perfect if you have tiny hands! I really struggle with binoculars and D-SLR cameras because they are often quite bulky and heavy. I struggle to hold them securely and the weight means I often cannot hold them still. These binoculars are perfect for me. They are really compact and lightweight but they are also powerful. The zoom works very well and is very responsive. I love the fact that you can adjust the focusing ring on each eye separately as I have dodgy eyesight. These binoculars are plastic so they definitely don’t feel as robust as binoculars with a metal body but I feel that is a price worth paying for a lightweight binocular. You receive a handy carry case in the box to help protect them.
They have a carry case, neck strap and eyepiece cap which can be attached to the neck strap for safe keeping although I think this comes at a price for usability as it can flap about in windy conditions which, is a bit annoying.
Like a lot of people, I have different vision capabilities in either eye – especially at my less than youthful age but fortunately these binoculars have a focusing ring for each eye – I found these easy to do on the lower magnification than on the higher levels. Not sure if this is because of my differing vision in each eye and that’s made more evident at higher magnifications. Most likely as these are very well made and being Nikon the optics are not going to be a problem.
The action of the zoom and the adjustment for eye width is smooth and slick. One would like to think so if pulling out this kind of money. They are quite ‘plasticky’ but one has to accept that lighter materials will be needed if you want a light set of glasses.
They are lightweight and that’s mainly good but at the higher zoom levels that lightness can allow a bit more wandering compared to a set of old school binoculars. Overall, the light weight is a major plus point in reducing arm ache and of course when carrying them on a hike or long walk.
Clarity is superb at the low zoom level but at the highest zoom there is a little bit of adjustment required which, given that it’s hard to hold exactly steady can be a bit hit and miss.
I’m a keen photographer and enjoy wildlife in the garden and these certainly are a lovely addition to this pastime but the price is quite high for what they are.
Expensive but also very good.
Quality is definitely there, small in size also light makes it easy to carry. Strap and bag included, great zoom, clear & bright vision, perfect for traveling, or when you are at the stadium- let me tell you with these you don’t need to be in the front row anymore. Zoom feature works super smooth which is also super convenient. Feels proper and comfortable in hand. An absolute YES from me!
These Zoom binoculars by Nikon which are 8 – 24 x 25 with a 24 times zoom feel good.
The first impression is that they are well made and not to large. As with all binoculars
they fold in or out to fit your eyes. The eye end has twist rubber collars to keep eyes away
from the lenses. One you can adjust to suit your own eyes. The body is plastic and very
rounded but easy to hold as smallish, As you would expect from Nikon the clarity of the
lenses are excellent. As with any magnifying instrument you have to hold everything
very steady.
Where these Binocs score is that they have an inbuilt zoom from plus 8 to plus 24 which really
pulls what your looking at very near. The design is great as you can operate both the normal
focus and the zoom with the same hand while holding the glasses. You do have to refocus
when you zoom in. Just a bit. Needless to say you do have to lean against a wall or support
when you take it to the ultimate Zoom. I used them for spotting birds all be it just garden ones.
Also names and details on ships and shipping etc.
They come with protective rubber eye covers, a case for carrying with a supplied strap.
The image is absolutely crystal clear, and the adjustment features work perfectly. My right and left eyes are not the same but the diopter rings allow me to get perfect vision with both eyes. The binoculars are not at all angular, but have a well-designed shape that makes them easy to hold and adjust. The technique is to focus first at full zoom, then pull back to the magnification you need. They are so powerful that on full zoom I need to rest on a solid surface to prevent shake.
This set comes in three colours and it includes a soft carry case with belt loop, a neck strap, eyepiece covers and an instruction book.
These binoculars are brilliant! For such a small lightweight set, they let in a lot of light to give a bright and sharp view. Quick and easy to focus. The zoom is great fun, to 24x magnification, very sharp but you do need to rest your elbows on something solid to avoid shake. The eyepiece covers are flexible so the setup can be left permanently in storage. Eyecups take a little getting used to, having to be held just away from the eyes, but I quickly got used to this. These will replace my trusty Zeiss binoculars of many decades as the reliable everyday companion.
