Delivery set for September  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee every feather. Hear every call. Never miss a moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReal birding starts with being able to actually see the bird. Not a blurry smudge in the trees. Not a guess at the colours. The real thing, close, clear and sharp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe built these binoculars for young birders who are serious about it. Clear optics that show you what you are actually looking at. Compact enough for small hands to hold steady. Tough enough to survive every adventure between now and adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWHAT MAKES THESE DIFFERENT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost kids binoculars are toys. The lenses are so poor you can barely make out a bird sitting on a fence post three meters away. We know because we tested them. Every single one was a disappointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what actually happens? Parents end up lending their own good binoculars. The expensive adult pair they are terrified is going to get dropped in a dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are not that. These are proper binoculars scaled for a child, built to last and designed to grow with them as they get more serious about birding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable from age 4. Grows with them through their teens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSPECS AND WHAT THEY MEAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrism: BaK4 Roof prism\u003cbr\u003eBaK4 is the high quality glass used in professional birding binoculars. It delivers better light transmission and a sharper, more circular image than cheaper BaK7 glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnification: 8x\u003cbr\u003eThe birding standard. Powerful enough to see real detail on a bird in a tree, stable enough for small hands to hold steady without the image shaking. Professional adult birders use 8x for exactly this reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObjective lens: 32mm\u003cbr\u003eThe front lens that gathers light. 32mm keeps the binoculars compact and lightweight while still delivering a bright, clear image in good daylight conditions.  The wider field of view also makes it easier for a child to find the bird they're looking for as they put the binoculars to their eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose focus: 2m\u003cbr\u003eThis is the most important spec for children. Most binoculars focus no closer than 4 to 5 meters, which means blurry images whenever a child looks at something nearby. At 2m your child can focus on a butterfly on a flower, a frog on a rock or a bird in the nearest bush. Everything in their world becomes an adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eField of view: 123m per 1000m\u003cbr\u003eA wider field of view makes it easier to find a bird and track it once spotted. Especially important for children still learning to use binoculars. The wider the field, the more forgiving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye relief: 15mm\u003cbr\u003eThe distance between the eyecup and your eye. 15mm works well for children whether or not they wear glasses. Combined with the twist up eyecup, children can adjust to find their most comfortable position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExit pupil diameter: 3.13mm\u003cbr\u003eDetermines how bright the image looks. Well suited to daylight birding and bright outdoor conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaterproof: IPX7\u003cbr\u003eIPX7 is full waterproofing, not just splash resistance. This means the binoculars can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. For children this means rain, rivers, muddy hands and general adventure are not a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLens coating: Fully multi coated (FMC)\u003cbr\u003eMultiple anti reflection coatings on all air to glass surfaces. This reduces glare and improves brightness and contrast, making colours more vivid and detail easier to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical material: All lens and prism made of optical glass\u003cbr\u003eNot plastic. Not acrylic. Real optical glass throughout, which is why the image quality is as good as it is at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing system: Center focus\u003cbr\u003eOne central wheel focuses both sides simultaneously. Simple and intuitive for children to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Aluminium with rubber armour\u003cbr\u003eAluminium body gives real structural rigidity. The rubber outer layer absorbs impacts, provides grip in wet conditions and protects against knocks and drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelative brightness: 10.6\u003cbr\u003eA higher relative brightness means a brighter image in lower light. Useful for early morning or late afternoon birding when birds are most active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwilight factor: 13.8\u003cbr\u003eMeasures low light performance. The higher the number, the better the binoculars perform at dawn and dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTransmittance: 69%\u003cbr\u003eThe percentage of available light that reaches the eye. 69% is solid for this class of binocular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOcular adjustment: minus 5 to plus 5 diopter\u003cbr\u003eAllows children to adjust for any difference in vision between their two eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable eye pupil: 58.4mm to 72mm\u003cbr\u003eThe interpupillary distance range. This adjusts the width between the two eyepieces to match the distance between the child's eyes. Works from young children through to adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct size: 112.5 x 109 x 34mm\u003cbr\u003eCompact and easy to hold in smaller hands. Noticeably smaller than a standard adult birding binocular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 326g\u003cbr\u003eLight enough for a child to hold comfortably for extended periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes: Soft carry bag, neck strap, lens cleaning cloth,  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**This image is a render of our samples.  The final product might vary slightly.**\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feather Friends","offers":[{"title":"Field Green","offer_id":43235755065433,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/0933\/5385\/files\/123455.jpg?v=1781368961"},{"product_id":"the-feather-friends-field-guide","title":"The Field Guide for Little Explorers","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"138\" data-end=\"223\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNow open for first release preorder.
