The Steiner Optics's 7x30 Navigator Open-Hinge Marine Binoculars are the natural evolution of their iconic Marine series that sees the combination of a traditional Porro prism light path integrated into an ergonomic open-bridge design. The prism system is naturally balanced and comfortable to hold and the open design provides more surface area to ensure a secure grip—reducing fatigue when you spend long periods of time behind the eyepieces. Complementing these ergonomic features are high-contrast multicoatings that enhance the view and Steiner's Sports Auto Focus system which allows you to focus each eyepiece just one time, eliminating the need to refocus again, regardless of how near or far the subject is—or if it is moving.
Optical Performance
7x power provides moderate magnification while helping to produce a comfortable exit pupil, despite the relatively small objectives, for easier low-light use
30mm objective lenses provide improved low-light performance versus compact models, without the bulk and weight of larger-objective models
Traditional Porro prism design makes them balanced and comfortable to hold and presents a rich depth of field
Anti-reflection high-contrast multicoated optics produce neutral and accurate color fidelity to improve contrast and image brightness
385.5-foot field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
Individual eyepiece focusing Sports Auto Focus system ensures the best possible views at all distances
