Scout Master

Binoculars have a long history of military use. Galilean designs were widely used up to the end of the 19th century when they gave way to porro prism types. Binoculars constructed for general military use tend to be more heavily ruggedized than their civilian counterparts. They generally avoid more fragile center focus arrangements in favor of independent focus. Prism sets in military binoculars may have redundant aluminized coatings on their prism sets to guarantee they don’t lose their reflective qualities if they get wet. Military binoculars of the cold war era were sometimes fitted with passive sensors that detected active IR emissions, while modern ones usually are fitted with filters blocking laser beams. Further, binoculars designed for military usage may include a stadiametric reticle in one ocular in order to facilitate range estimation.

There are binoculars designed specifically for civilian and military use at sea. Hand held models will be 5× to 7× but with very large prism sets combined with eyepieces designed to give generous eye relief. This optical combination prevents the image vignetting or going dark when the binocular is pitching and vibrating relative to the viewer’s eye. Large, high-magnification models with large objectives are also used in fixed mountings.

Very large binocular naval rangefinders have been used, although late-20th century technology made this application redundant.

A good set of midsize binoculars can be almost impossible to find. Most places have either the opera-style women’s sunglasses with poofy feathers or they carry the Paul Bunyan Mars watching binocs. Neither of these are really acceptable to me so I usually have to spend a lot of time shopping. As someone who uses optics frequently, both for work and play, it can be a real tedious chore trying to find good products.

That’s why I’ve been so thrilled with Scout Master. They’re knowledgeable, experienced and they know what their products can and can’t do. I’ve never gotten a wrong recommendation and everything I get comes on time and well packaged. When it comes to rifle scopes, night vision glasses and goggles or premium quality binoculars these guys are it!

Night glasses are telescopes or binoculars with a large diameter objective. Large lenses can gather and concentrate light, thus intensifying light with purely optical means and enabling the user to see better in the dark than with naked eye alone. Often night glasses also have a fairly large exit pupil of 7 mm or more to let all gathered light into the user’s eye.

However, many people can’t take advantage of this because of the limited dilation of the human pupil. To overcome this, soldiers were sometimes issued atropine eye drops to dilate pupils. Before the introduction of image intensifiers, night glasses were the only method of night vision, and thus were widely utilized, especially at sea. Second World War era night glasses usually had a lens diameter of 56 mm or more with magnification of seven or eight. Major drawbacks of night glasses are their large size and weight.

I always thought night vision binoculars would cost a fortune, so I was really surprised how affordable you guys had made them.  These binoculars make night-time exploration a breeze. and the ultra-affordable price made it possible.  This type of technology used to be very cost prohibitive but with ScoutMasterPro I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

Save yourself the time, trouble and money of buying from other dealers.  You won’t get better service on better products anywhere else.  At least that’s the way they work for me.
