Monocular or Binocular, Which is Better? If you are holding it, of course, the binocular is better than the monocular. In addition to the three-dimensional sense, there is also a sense of presence, which is very important. The hand-held small monocular has low technical requirements and low production threshold, so there are few good products, and most of them are low-end and indifferent products. There are few good ones, but there are, but the price is not very good. Let's take a look at what we need to choose a monocular or binocular telescope according to, and the precautions for the use of the telescope.
1. Which one is better, monocular or binocular?
- Is the magnification of monocular higher or the magnification of binocular higher? This is uncertain, and cannot be compared like this. There are high magnifications for both monoculars and Uscamel binoculars. For example, the astronomical telescope is a monocular, and the magnification is much higher than that of the binoculars, and if yours is Galileo's old-fashioned monocular, the magnification is not as high as that of the binoculars.
- Is the effect of a monocular better or that of a binocular? Of course the binoculars. First of all, for scenery viewing and bird watching, it is obvious that binoculars are more comfortable to watch and have better portability. If the monocular is used for a long time, the eyes will be easily fatigued, and the superimposed effect of imaging without vision will also affect the three-dimensional sense of the picture. This is the same case that you cover one eye in a movie theater and seeing a picture with a large spatial change.
- The difference between monocular and binoculars. The stereoscopic effect of the binoculars is relatively strong, because the two eyes are used at the same time, the binoculars will be more comfortable to use when in use. Points can form a stable plane. The monocular does not have the problem of parallel optical axes of the two lens barrels, and can be designed with a higher magnification and can be designed as a variable magnification. Compared with binoculars, Uscamel monoculars are about half the weight under the same optical parameters.
- According to what to choose monocular and binoculars? If you use it more for outdoor activities, such as traveling, bird watching or watching ball games, sports meetings, concerts, etc., then choose binoculars, whose internal structure is more stable and stable than monocular. Good stability, easy to carry. If you are observing astronomical landscapes, you have to choose a high-power astronomical telescope, which is a monocular, and it has a special tripod. Also, if you are bird watching, you need to pursue high quality and you need to take pictures and stay with a monocular. It is very inconvenient to install a camera with binoculars.
- How to convert binoculars into monoculars? Why do you need to convert them? No matter what method you use to convert them, the effect is not as good as before, which is equivalent to destroying a binocular. If you are purely for testing, it doesn't matter. You can search the internal structure diagram of the two on the Internet, and just buy the materials and change them. Personally, I do not recommend refitting, it is better to buy another one.
2. Precautions for the use of binoculars
- Never use a binoculars to observe the sun before installing any protective equipment, which may cause irreversible damage to human eyes.
- The observation field of the binoculars should be a complete circle, not the common overlapping middle part in movies and TV, and the 8-shaped circle separated on both sides. Such a shape will only cause bad imaging, and you will get your own eyes injured.
- For a medium-tuned binoculars, the correct focusing method is to observe with the left eye first, and adjust the focal length of the binoculars at the same time. When the scene in the left eye is completely clear, open the right eye and adjust the diopter of the right eye to adjust the scene to the clearest. At this time, the scale of the diopter of the right eye is the diopter of the user, and this scale can be written down, and the diopter can be directly adjusted to that scale when using the binoculars in the future. Note: Each binocular is designed with a certain range of diopter. If the user's diopter exceeds this design range, it will be impossible to adjust the scene to the clearest when observing with naked eyes.
- When adjusting the focus of the dual-adjustment binoculars, first close either eye to make the scene clear, and then adjust the focal length of the other eye until the observation of both eyes is completely clear.
- Binoculars are precise optical equipment. Regardless of whether the binoculars are waterproof or shockproof, it should be used with care. Try to avoid exposure to rain and snow, and try to prevent moisture and shocks.
