Wingspan Binoculars Review

 

Wingspan is an American manufacturer (Estero, Florida) of high quality optics, binoculars and monoculars that delivers high quality image to the end user.

Especially, Wingspan is specialized in optical instruments for bird watchers that are looking for a wide field of view binoculars able to produce sharp image, vibrant colors, quick focus binoculars to capture fast-moving birds.

Wingspan offers different types of binoculars and monoculars, compact and standard size.

This is what is claimed on Wingspan website. But at this moment they offer only binoculars. I suppose monoculars are still in development process.

The selection of Wingspan binoculars is not huge to be honest. But as I said, Wingspan is not specialized in all types of binoculars.

They are mainly specialized in optical instruments for bird watching. Wingspan binoculars have innovative design and can be used in extreme weather conditions.

All Wingspan binoculars are waterproof and fog proof.

 

 

High-end binoculars at an affordable price

Compared to optical instruments from other manufacturers of brand expensive binoculars, Wingspan is an excellent combination of high quality optical instruments and affordable price.

Under $200 you can get an excellent set of binoculars that you can use for years to come in the most extreme conditions.

If you buy binoculars with same features from other brands you will likely pay at least extra $100.

 

 

 

Wingspan lifetime warranty

Wingspan is very confident in its products and offers a lifetime warranty for all their products.

If you don’t like Wingspan for some reason which may be quality of optics, material binocular are made off, just return it to Wingspan and get your refund.

Even if you broke your binoculars after 30 days of purchase Wingspan will replace it. For more info regarding Wingspan warranty visit Wingspan website.

 

 

 

Why Wingspan?

Wingspan applies advanced lens coatings and prism coatings to all binoculars so they can perform well enough to satisfy the needs of most people looking for quality optical instruments.

Thanks to this Wingspan binoculars get maximum light and have minimum light reflection. As a result you get bright image with with high contrast.

Thanks to Wingspan advanced technology their binoculars perform very well by eliminating reflections, reducing glare and providing true colors.

 

 

 

Wingspan durability test

Wingspan binoculars go through a variety of tests to ensure the best quality in terms of durability. You can own a great set of optics but is the sense having it if it’s not durable?

That’s why Wingspan’s main goal is to produce highly durable optical instruments that would perform well in any weather conditions.

Wingspan binoculars have DuraTech Exterior surface for a better protection against bumps and falls.

Plus all Wingspan binoculars have ANTI-SLIP GRIP for added protection and special protection from lens scratches.

 

 

 

Wingspan multipurpose binoculars

Wingspan binoculars are multi-purpose optical instruments that have a wide field of view which is important for bird watching and especially they have close focus which is important for short distance viewing possibility.

So, Wingspan binoculars are both long and short distance viewing instruments which makes them different from many other similar binoculars.

Wingspan binoculars are suitable for many outdoor activities like traveling, bird watching, safaris, hunting, at stadiums or opera.

 

 

Field of view

Wingspan binoculars have a wide field of view because they are mainly designed for bird watching.

The field of view in Wingspan optical instruments range from 7.4° and up to 8.1° which is pretty good and professionals will be more than satisfied with the performance of wingspan optics.

But though Wingspan claims to deliver extra wide field of view binoculars there is nothing special about them.

I have Celestron Outland 8×25 which has 8.2 degrees field of view and it costs only around $50. Wingspan is no different from it when it comes to the field of view.

 

 

Weight

Wingspan binoculars are not only powerful but very lightweight and suitable for bird watching, traveling and safaris and even for general use.

They range from 340 gr. and up to 566 gr. This type of binoculars is perfect fit for travelers and bird watchers.

Because binoculars used for this purpose must be lightweight and easy to carry around.

As I said above, Wingspan doesn’t have a wide selection of binoculars. They are mainly limited to quality optical instruments for bird watching.
