Using the built-in compass

There are two main ways of using the compass built into the 7x50 compass type binoculars.

Identifying direction of travel

You can work out your current direction of travel relative to a buoy by calculating the difference between the number displayed when looking at the buoy and the number displayed when looking in the direction of the bow. In the example on the right, the compass reads 270° when looking at the buoy and 240° when facing the bow, indicating that the boat is traveling 30° to the left of the buoy.

Measuring size and distance

If you know either the size or distance of a target, you can roughly calculate the other. The lighthouse in this example is 10m in height and the scale is showing 40 mils. The approximate distance can be calculated with a simple equation.

Designed for the water

With an airtight, waterproof structure filled with nitrogen gas and a polycarbonate body, these binoculars are lightweight and dependable, perfect for use on the water.

Comfortable long eye relief

A long eye relief design with a maximum length of 18mm. Eye relief refers to the distance between one’s eyes and the eyepiece that still allows one to view the entire field of vision. Long Eye Relief binoculars allow one to see right up to the edge of the field of vision even while wearing glasses.
