The Nikon 7430 Monarch â Are They Best Budget Binoculars Available?

If you're considering purchasing a pair of binoculars then one pair you just have to think about is the Nikon 7430 Monarch.

The Nikon 7430 Monarch are a near perfect choice for bird watchers, nature lovers, walkers, hikers and casual users.

These binoculars are untouched in their price range. In fact, they compare very favorably to models like Leica and Opticron that cost lots lots more.

Well then, lets take a look at what makes the 7430 Monarch so much better than its competitors.

Firstly there is the weight. The 7430 Monarch is a very lightweight pair binoculars. They weigh only one and a half pounds. This means no problem holding them for extended periods of time, and no problem keeping them steady. Your neck and back will be very grateful if you have to carry them for any extended period.

Also the Monarch 7430 is constructed with durability very much in mind. A special rubber armor exterior means that they are extremely robust. Accidents do happen and binoculars do get dropped and knocked, but with the 7430 this should be no cause for alarm.

And, these glasses can be Used almost anywhere. They're not called all-terrain for nothing! They are 100% shock proof, water proof and fog proof. So no problem on the moors, in mountains, in deserts or simply the mean streets of your local town.

In addition, when it comes to image, the sharpness and clarity of these binoculars is quite extraordinary. Really crisp and really clear thanks to the Nikon 7430 Monarch's fully multi-coated lenses, precision aligned optics and roof prism. They really are a product Nikon can be very proud of.

So, I think we can certainly say that we are talking about high quality binoculars. But how much do they cost? Well, amazingly, the Nikon 7430 Monarch 8x42mm All-Terrain Binoculars are available for under $250. This is less than a third of the price of other similar quality binoculars from its main competitors, Opticron, Leica or Zeiss. The Cornell Institute of Ornithology describes them simply as, "a steal." And they most certainly are.

The Nikon Monarch blows its competitors away when comparing value-for-money, durability, image and weight. A superb choice of binoculars.
