I'm looking for recommendations of a fairly decent pair of binocs, probably 8x42, for viewing my mini.
DISCLAIMER: I will not be flying BVLOS, flying behind buildings and obstacles, or trying to set personal best altitude or distance records.
I would just like to admire my mini at a slight distance now and then, and not anywhere near the edge of the VLOS envelope. Even though the drone would be at a distance easily acquired by eyeball and readily visible without any aids or tech, I realize that using binocs even for a few seconds is an FAA violation. But it's one I'm considering. With any luck, I'd have a TRUSTed copilot, making the above moot.
A very quick look turned up a pair Celestron 8x42 Outland X Binoculars. Celestron once make some decent stuff but I don't know if that's still the case. I prefer a roof prism set instead of the traditional porro prism. So does anyone have a recommendation for some decent binocs?
If anyone has a link or two to a good review site, that would be appreciated also.
