Join me as I unbox and test my new Nikon Aculon A211 10×50 binoculars. These are an affordable yet high-performing option for birding, but they have some drawbacks; at least that’s what I noticed during this first impression.

  1. Thanks for the review, this told me everything I wanted to know, ok for the price is not really what I'm looking for, chromatic aberration and outer edge distortion is a typical feature of budget bino's. I might have a look at the Nikon Action CF series.

  2. Im not bird watcher. But i need binoculars to watch my car on parking slot because thief have entered few times on it. So can i get like good quality image on like 50meter away? And no im not stalking random ppl.

  3. I own a sibling of this model, the Nikon Aculon 12×50 (I wanted to buy a 10×50 or 10×42, but the local stores ran out of both). For context, I'm a user of eyeglasses. This pair of binoculars has brought me a lot of joy birdwatching, so despite its limitations I still think it's a fantastic device. I will still upgrade when I have the funds, because this pair of binos have a rather low eye relief, so it can't be used well with glasses on, even if I fully retract the eyecups. I always have to push up my glasses to use the binos, though I gotten used to it. All in all, a fantastic birding tool for its price, especially that I bought when it was on sale! I've seen so many cool species with this that it just outshines the issues I have with it.

  4. I bought them for urban astronomy, since they are not nitrogen purged, but I also use them for urban birding. And they are fine for that job. For tropical rainforest birding since they are not fully waterproof I would not use them.
    They are really fine for astronomy and I enjoy them.

  5. Hello! Thanks for the video. May I ask what the outer dimension on the carrying case? Trying to figure out if it will fit in my glowbox that have very limited space.

  6. Very envious of the rain forest and wet weather. Perth has been baking since the week before Christmas. We have a bunch of Aculon 7×35's that we (Birdlife WA) use to lend out to people at events etc. To me, they are best described as "perfectly adequate". If you were stuck with nothing else I don't think you would miss anything and you can still get lot's of enjoyment out of them. My main criticism of aculons is that for not that much more money (maybe $50 more online) you can buy a pair of prostaffs which are more compact and have better IQ throughout the width of the image.

  7. Considering that these Nikon binoculars are definitely not for me, I surprised myself staying until the end xD Great video ! The fact that you present and record it as a vlog make it pleasant to follow, it's great to hear you 😀
