Binoculars & Accessories

As strange as it may seem, buying binoculars isn’t an easy task. In order to make the best purchase right off the bat, you have to understand how binoculars work, what are their main features, and how each of these features influences the user experience. There are many types of binoculars available on the market today. From the point of view of their ultimate purpose, there are binoculars for birding, binoculars for safari, and binoculars for stargazing. Each of these activities calls for certain specifications, so you have to do your homework properly to understand how to choose the best binoculars for you. Optics Dojo aims to shed some light into this matter, so that you can gain a better understanding of the main types of binoculars with their features, advantages and drawbacks. We do our best to bring you the best binoculars reviews and information, so that you can make an informed choice.

Night Vision Goggles & Accessories

Night vision goggles enable you to see in the dark. You can use them to watch owls and other night birds and wildlife, or to spy on your neighbors. Of course, I’m just kidding on this one, but you can surely use your night vision binoculars to spot potential intruders on your lawn or in your backyard, so that you can alert the local police. In the Night Vision dedicated section of Optics Dojo, I explain the different types of devices, the main differences between them, and I show you how to shop for the best night goggles to suit your needs.

Trail Cameras & Other Equipment

The Trail Cameras section of Optics Dojo will introduce you to this new world of supervising and managing your environment.

You’ll find out what trail cameras are used for, what are the trail cameras that can send photos to your phone, what is the best trail camera for money, and many other things that you’ll be able to use when shopping around for this type of device.

You’ll also learn how to use trail cameras for security and for protecting wildlife. By tracking bears, deer and other wildlife, scientists and governmental organizations can take better action to protect them.

Optics Dojo is the reflection of my passion for birding and stargazing. I’d spend hours watching birds and stars. I do love a good pair of binoculars or a powerful scope. I also think night vision goggles are the coolest things invented since sliced bread. I am Violeta, and I want to dedicate this resource to all of you who want to take your nature observation to the next level. I write about the best binoculars and night vision goggles, so that you can find a wealth of information without having to scour the web for weeks.
