Go to: Article Next Article
There is noting quite like looking through a great set of binoculars. When I hand mine to someone that's never looked through a really good pair their reaction is always the same. Wow! So if you're ready to make that big step up you should be prepared to spend a bit because the good stuff can easily cost $1000 or more.
You'll quickly find as you get started that there is a sea of information at your disposal. All of which will serve to inform you and confuse you. So before you wade in you may want to pay attention to some important binocular shopping basics.
*Where you buy is as important as what you buy. Make sure you purchase from and authorized dealer that you've personally checked out with the manufacturer. Use their online dealer locater list, or call the company. Do not assume they are an authorized dealer simply because its stated on their website. If you don't use an authorized dealer your product will most likely have a bad serial number that will void a potential lifetime warranty.
* Everyone wants a great deal but when buying quality binoculars or other sport optics you should be weary of deep discount prices. The truth is manufactures set minimum selling prices that authorized dealers must adhere to. If you find that one in a million site selling for deals that appear too good to be true you should close the page and move on. There are plenty of quality dealers to choose from so avoid the thieves! Buy for service and product authenticity.
*If drastic price reductions aren't in the cards feel free to ask for throw-ins and freebies. Often dealers will gladly sweeten the deal to make a sale.
* In my opinion the last place you should do your research is opinion forums or review sites. It is nearly impossible to find one that has not been compromised by the financial influence of the manufactures. Even the most trusted public experts have been taken over by the dark side. Yes be weary of your favorite birder, naturalist, or sportsman if they tout too heavily. Find a dealer who is willing to give you time and information.
* If you're about to spend $300 to $2000 on a new binocular you're entitled to getting your questions answered. If a potential dealer is not willing to invest the time with you that is required before you shell over $1500 bucks or so, perhaps you should find another dealer. If they don't seem glad that you called and glad to help then hang up and move on, the market has plenty of alternatives.
Everyone wants to get exactly what they paid for. When buying that once in a lifetime binocular do your home work. There are some good dealers out there and some you should avoid, check them out and ask that your questions be answered. If your willing to put in a little effort you'll most likely end up with a really smooth transaction and get everything you expected.
