This is a Bushnell binoculars 10x50 review. In particular, I have the Bushnell Falcon binoculars 10x50. (Note: The rest of this article contains affiliate links.)
I'll be going over cost, and a couple of pointers when it comes to these binoculars. Then I'll go over some common uses as well as some not so common uses for binoculars.
About The Bushnell Falcon Binoculars
First I'll cover the cost, the Bushnell Falcon are currently listed around $36 on Amazon.
They have an instant focus lever on the top. Simply move this lever back and forth and you'll get instant focus as opposed to having to dial it in on a wheel.
They also come with a pretty bulky box here. So when you're taking space into consideration, that's another feature.
They also have a 376 feet at 1000 yards view, which makes them pretty ideal for tracking moving objects.If you're going to be using these for hiking or at a sporting event, know that they do weigh around 1 pound and 13 ounces, which makes them a little on the heavy side if you're going to be holding these up, watching a sporting event.
If you are going to be at a sporting event or a concert, somewhere where you're going to be holding up the binoculars for an extended amount of time, you might want to consider a more compact model like the Bushnell Spectator Compact bonoculars.
What are some common uses for binoculars?
Some most common uses are birdwatching, hiking, camping, perhaps you have a pair in your car for road trips, and as mentioned before, sporting events.
One of my favorite uses is stargazing. You can get a pretty good view of the craters on the moon with these binoculars.
Alternative Uses For Binoculars
As I mentioned at the beginning of the video, there are some benefits to having a pair of binoculars on you that might help in a survival situation.
One of the examples was a fire-starter. So, in theory, you can break apart the casing, take out one of the lenses and like burning ants as a kid, if you concentrate the sunlight enough on the lens, you could potentially use that as a fire starter.
Another use for the lens would be a mirror signal, reflecting the sunlight off of the lens to try to maybe signal on aircraft of above
