I used to have a 9 x 25 Nikon travelite binocular and it was perfect because you could hold it steady and still get a nice close image. The 10 x 25, on the other hand, and this is my second try, has just a little too much magnification to hand-hold steady - its too bad because the clarity and brightness of the 10 x 25 lenses (and the 8x and old 9x lenses are just as great) borders on amazing for a mid-price binocular. Maybe someday Nikon will bring back the 9 x 25! I suppose Nikon marketing thinks having similar sounding 8x and 9x would confuse the customer (they are probably right about that.) PS Id get the 8x if i were you, at least it will be a constant pleasure to use; the 10x is usable but slightly annoying.

EXcellent optic!! The 12 power gives you stunningly crisp view. I've seen a drop of water held in the beak of a stellars jay 30 feet away. And near field focus distance about 8 feet - amazing. Of course, with that much magnification, a steady hold can be a problem, but with even the simplest walking stick that problem is reduced. The focus adjusting ring on the right side lens is slightly difficult to turn - which is good for keeping your settings from changing as you handle the binocs, but sharing with someone with different vision a bother. Buy them their own pair, these are a bargain. The center focus is positive, which is good, as depth of field at 12 power is sensitive.The picture isn't big. But the weight of 12x50 lenses is offset by the light weight and ... MoreEXcellent optic!! The 12 power gives you stunningly crisp view.

You could pay ten times as much and I don't think you would find much improvement.You can't get around the fact that a compact binocular is just not going to have a big enough picture for following moving objects easily. Spend some time practicing at acquiring your object near and far before going out birding - - better to have trouble spotting that pine cone while learning than losing sight of that WoolyFootedPickleDropper you've been stalking for months!

I also have a binocular with image stablization much more expensive than this but needed something light ti carry on my long hikes. Initially was hesitant to go for 12x zoom without stabilization but i was pleasantly surprised. Because the unit is so light, one could control the vibration very well. And the cream on top is the resolution which is very good for this price range. The only issilue is the low light oerformance which was not a surprise knowing the specs.

This is my second pair of binoculars from REI, having first purchased the Nikon Trailblazers (which went out of alignment somehow). These appealed because their sharpness is slightly higher than the TBs. However, three things mean they're getting returned:1. The lens fell out of the right-hand side after 2 weeks of owning and very gentle handling. That alone isn't a good sign of sturdy construction.2. They're very lightweight as described, but that gives them a sort of cheap feeling.3. They're difficult to focus on the right eye. The rubber cover on that side slides over the dial, so you're unsure of where the focus arrow actually sits in relation to the measurement +-.
When traveling I want to minimize space usage, so I don't want to take a full size set of binoculars with me. I'd had a 9x25 Travelite IV model since the late 1990's, works great, but I wanted higher magnification. I opted for the Travelite VI. Granted, stabilization is harder with these, but with techniques to offset it, you can control these for your purposes. For the size, the clarity and glare resistance is very good. It doesn't color enhance much, but to be expected for this size. I've enjoyed looking at the moon with the Travelite VI, and when Jupiter was close I could make out the 4 Galilean moons on a clear night. Not bad! Low light use is actually pretty decent. I keep the 9x25 pair in my car and the 12x25 in my office, or on the road.
In my novice opinion, the Nikon 10x25 Travelite V binoculars are of good quality, are lightweight, and are reasonably compact. However, for other novices out there, keep in mind they (and all 10x25 optics) have a relatively narrow field of view, limited light gathering ability, and a tiny exit pupil. These are characteristics of the size, and not the make/model. I wanted a small, easily packable pair for use while camping/hiking and for sporting events. Due to the issues above, I decided to trade up to a larger pair (8x42 Trailblazer ATB). For my purposes, the trade off in size and weight was worth it for the larger, brighter, easier to pick up image you get with a larger binocular. I will still probably pick up a pair of 25mm binoculars for backpacking, but they ... MoreIn my novice opinion, the Nikon 10x25 Travelite V binoculars are of good quality, are lightweight, and are reasonably compact.

I will still probably pick up a pair of 25mm binoculars for backpacking, but they will be 8x (more stable image, better field of view and exit pupil) and roof prism (more compact) - probably Nikon 8x25 Trailblazer ATBs actually. I liked Nikon's quality for the price point, but this particular model was not for me. I would recommend them to a friend if they were sure a 10x25 was what they wanted.
I had a similar pair of Nikon travel binoculars that lasted twenty years. A recent replacement pair only held its collimation/alignment for a week, however. REI kindly and promptly replaced them, but the second new pair similar held its alignment for fewer than several weeks before it, too, presented double images. I'm always careful with things but I was especially careful with the second replacement pair to no avail. These would be wonderful binoculars if lens alignment wasn't so fragile.
I have spent up to $400.00 and nothing has beat out the Nikon 10 X 25 Travelite Binoculars. I have tried other Nikon, Leupould, Bushnell, etc. You really have to spend a lot more to get better optics. I have bought 3 other pairs and compared them side by side and they don’t justify the difference in quality or expense. This is the Best Buy I have seen for the money and I have owned a pair of these for over ten years. A lot of other binoculars have the eye adjustment that screws out away from the binocular about one inch and it seems to make the binoculars cockeyed, uncomfortable, and out of focused to me. These have two adjustments for focusing, the right eye piece has a ring that turns in increments for adjustment, the adjusting wheel in the center of the ... MoreI have spent up to $400.00 and nothing has beat out the Nikon 10 X 25 Travelite Binoculars.

Overall measurement is 4 1/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches 2 1/2 inches tall. They have a cheap vinyl carrying case with a belt loop and the eye protection covers pop in and out without attaching to the binoculars. The case and eye covers could be improved but you cannot beat the price and quality of the binoculars unless you spend at least $400 to $500 dollars more. Thank you.
I bought these 2-3months ago as I liked the weight and brightness. I thought it odd that in the manual it said to return to where you purchased if they should stop focusing. That was until they stopped focusing why I gave only two stars! When they work as they should I’d give them 3-4 stars. I’ll be keeping the box should they stop focusing again and need to be returned again. The return for a new working one was no problem
I have bought the binoculars for my wife and daughter and myself. I gave my older pair of my Nikon Travelltes to my granddaughter. I had the older pair for almost 30 years. They are most durable and great for any type of travel.
