Sport optics bring distant subjects closer for birding, hunting, hiking, boating, sporting events and wildlife observation. Explore Scientific's sport optics collection includes binoculars, spotting scopes and monoculars from Explore Scientific, Alpen Optics and National Geographic, designed for clear, comfortable viewing in the field.
Binoculars offer a natural two-eyed view and are the most versatile choice for most outdoor activities. Spotting scopes provide much higher zoom magnification for watching distant birds, game and targets from a tripod. Monoculars are compact, lightweight and easy to carry, and thermal monoculars detect heat signatures in total darkness. Many of our sport optics feature waterproof, fogproof construction and multi-coated optics.
When choosing sport optics, consider how far you need to see, how much you want to carry, and the light conditions you will face. For general birding, 8x42 binoculars are a popular choice; for distant subjects, add a spotting scope; for ultra-portable viewing, try a monocular. The right sport optics make every outdoor adventure more rewarding.
