Full details

This Semoic 12x42 High Binoculars with Phone Adapter is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking detailed views of distant objects, particularly useful for bird watching, hiking, and sports events. Its key benefit is delivering HD, clear, and bright images even in low light conditions, thanks to advanced optics.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the field of view at 1000 yards?

The field of view is 285 feet at 1000 yards (87 meters at 1000 meters).

Are these binoculars waterproof?

The product description does not specify waterproof capabilities. It's recommended to keep them dry and protected from moisture.

Can I use these for stargazing?

While they perform well in low light, their 12x magnification is moderate for deep-sky objects. They are best suited for brighter celestial bodies or terrestrial viewing.

What kind of phone does the adapter fit?

The adapter is designed to fit most standard smartphones, allowing you to capture photos and videos.

How do I clean the lenses properly?

Use a soft, lint-free lens cloth or specialized lens cleaning paper. Gently wipe in a circular motion. Avoid using household cleaners or rough fabrics.

What is the purpose of the BAK4 prism?

The BAK4 prism is an optical component that helps to create a brighter, sharper image with less vignetting (darkening at the edges) compared to other prism types.

How do I adjust for my eyesight differences?

Use the diopter adjustment, typically located on the right eyepiece. Adjust it until the image appears sharp for your right eye, then use the main focus wheel to adjust for your left eye.

Troubleshooting

Image is blurry or out of focus

Adjust the center focus wheel. If vision differences persist, adjust the diopter on the right eyepiece until sharp, then use the center wheel for general focusing.

Seeing double images

Ensure the interpupillary distance is correctly adjusted by moving the eyepiece barrels until a single, clear image is visible.

Phone adapter not aligning with camera

Loosen the adapter's screws, position the phone so its camera lens is directly in the center of the adapter's eyepiece holder, and then gently tighten the screws to secure the phone without disturbing alignment.

Reduced image brightness or clarity

Check if lenses are clean and free of smudges or debris. Clean them gently with a microfiber lens cloth. Ensure lens caps are removed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the interpupillary distance by moving the two eyepiece barrels until you see a single, clear circle.
  2. Focus by turning the center focus wheel until the image in both eyepieces is sharp and clear. Fine-tune with the right eyepiece diopter if needed.
  3. To use the phone adapter, securely attach your smartphone to the adapter and then mount the adapter onto the eyepiece. Ensure the phone's camera lens aligns with the adapter's opening.

Compatibility:

The phone adapter is designed to fit most standard smartphones. For optimal results, ensure your phone's camera is centered on the adapter.

Care:

  • Store the binoculars in a dry, protected place when not in use.
  • Clean lenses with a soft, lint-free lens cloth or specialized lens cleaning paper. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
  • Wipe the body with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the binoculars in water.
