Keep the Carson Optical 12x32 Stinger Binocular in your pocket, pack, or glove box for quick glassing on the go. This model walks the fine line between compact and full-size�offering improved light gathering over the former without the heft and bulk of the latter, making it ideal for hiking, camping, sightseeing or enjoying a game at the stadium.
This optic is outfitted with compact BK7 roof prisms and anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics that increase image brightness and contrast while preserving color rendition. Views through the optic maintain true-to-life colors with sharp contrast across its entire field of view. A slip-resistant low-profile focusing wheel is easy to find and manipulate without causing a snag hazard when drawing the optic from your pack or pocket, and whether you wear eyeglasses, sunglasses, or no glasses, this binocular is equipped with twist-up eyecups so just about anyone can comfortably use them. The binocular's aluminum housing is covered in a protective armor that provides a slip-resistant grip for sure and secure handling.
