Big Without The Bulk

The rule of thumb with binoculars is – if you want power you have to go big. Though, the prospect of needing a tripod to operate your big specs might not appeal to you. However, you do have another option --- Steiner Senator binocular series. Looks can be deceiving with these binoculars. True, they are big, size-wise, so they can accommodate the big lenses. And they offer quite a powerful magnification of 15 or 20X. However, if you pick them up you'll be pleasantly surprised. They are actually around 30% lighter then competitors of a similar size. So much lighter that they can actually be used as a handheld device.
