Product Information

When it comes to binoculars, size is not necessarily proportional to performance. Sometimes, even the smallest ones are more powerful than the biggest. The Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars is a great example of a lightweight pair of optics that does a pretty decent job. Birding binoculars are common. They usually fall in the mid- and full-size categories. Particularly, 8×32 and 8×42 models are popular choices among avid birdwatchers. 8x is preferable to 10x and 12x because it has a broader field of view, which makes it easy to spot birds from a distance. However, that doesn’t mean that 10x and 12x optics are not at all excellent choices for birding.

Nonetheless, there are a few exceptions, such as the Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars. They have a 12x magnification at only less than 9 oz. When you google who the manufacturers are, you often come across large companies that manufacture electronic components and all sorts of other gadgets. We found the Occer 12x25 compact binocular eyecups a little too soft and they folded even with the slightest pressure applied. (Image credit: Tantse Walter)The foldable eyecups of these binoculars make them suitable for most users, including eyeglass wearers and kids. Moreover, they are made of soft rubber, ensuring you a comfortable glassing experience for prolonged hours. You can easily adjust the eyecups according to your pupil distance, but for some users, these optics’ interpupillary distance (IPD) is not wide enough.

These binoculars are suitable as all-around binoculars for anyone who wants to see far stuff a little closer, without expecting great optical performance. The low price makes them particularly attractive for beginners or nature lovers who leisurely want to observe wild animals, scenery and nature, or sporting events. A 25mm lens is quite small, but sufficient for daytime observation when there is enough light. Less so when the light is rather weak when it is cloudy or you are out in the shady forest. After all, in a 12 x 25 instrument, the exit pupil is also quite small with just over 2 mm, not very suitable for twilight or at night with only little residual light. The so-often advertised “night vision” does not exist with such compact glasses. To tell the difference hold the binoculars into the light and look at the exit pupil. If it’s a BaK4 glass you can see a beautiful round exit pupil, it is a BK7 prism angular shadowing appear. If you plan on heavy binocular use and want peace of mind from a Limited Lifetime Warranty, we recommend purchasing from a big brand like Celestron or Nikon. The specs and claims from Occer don't quite match up and we would only know the real durability of this pair after a few months of constant use. The size of the exit pupil is the result of dividing the diameter of the field of view by the magnification. For instance, with the 12×25 binoculars, the size of the exit pupil is approximately 2mm. This is low compared to a pair of 8×42 binoculars whose exit pupil is 5.25mm. This number indicates the size of the shaft of light that gets to your eye. The exit pupil also determines the amount of light that gets through the optics. A higher number means brighter images, which is especially useful in low-light conditions. A higher number also means that the object will still be bright, even if your hand shakes.The lenses are fully multi-coated. This reduces the reflection and ensures brighter images. Anti-reflective lens coatings are essential, otherwise, modern binoculars with their many lenses would lose too much light so that everything would look quite dark through it. The hinge of the middle bridge moves smoothly and evenly, by about 35 degrees. This sets the interpupillary distance from 2.36 inches (6 cm) to a maximum of 2.95 inches (7.5 cm), which fits most people. These binoculars are equipped with a high-resolution BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lens coating. With these features, they deliver a crystal clear viewing experience almost instantaneously. The lenses produce natural colors with little-to-no color distortions. At the same time, they help prevent visual fatigue. As a pair of binoculars for kids, we think they fare better than the similarly priced National Geographic 6x21 binoculars which we've also reviewed because of the increased size of objective lenses, even if we can't tell precisely how much higher. The Occers also have a closer minimum focusing distance so they can be used in and around the house to look at things 'just for fun.' Whereas, with the National Geographic pair you need to be stood a reasonably long way away, which some children might find frustrating. If the Occer 12x25 compact binoculars aren't for you:

Multiplication Table is an useful table to remember to help you learn multiplication by 25. You should also practice the examples given because the best way to learn is by doing, not memorizing. Online Practice The equation calculator allows you to take a simple or complex equation and solve by best method possible. The Occer 12×25 Compact Binoculars are lightweight, portable, and affordable. They have a BaK-4 Porro prism system and fully multi-coated lenses, delivering clear images with accurate color reproduction during the day. At dawn and dusk, they perform reasonably well considering their price. At 12x magnification, this pair of binoculars brings the image 12 times closer than an unassisted eye would. Because the magnification of this pair of binoculars is higher than 10x, it makes steady viewing a challenge. If you are moving, such as on a boat or in a moving vehicle, the binoculars might not be steady enough to allow you to view far away images. Field of View Looking past the dubious claims in online write-ups of these binoculars, as a pair of kids binoculars, or a handy portable pair of compact binoculars for adults, they will likely do what you want them to, for the price.The thing is amazingly robust and can be used on excursions, hikes, or in your free time. The model is small, very light, and extremely easy to stow away, so you can always have your binoculars with you. Summary

When looking for compact binoculars that perform well in the field, magnification is one of the most important factors to consider other than the actual weight of the product. Models with a magnification of 8x or 10x are the best choices. They strike a good balance between power and weight.

These optics are suitable for observing objects at mid-range and long distances. Particularly, they are a decent choice for birding and a bit of stargazing. They may not be as powerful as high-end models, but they provide a far better viewing experience than the naked eye. While these optics work well enough during the day, they are not very useful as night-time optics (you’ll want to look into night vision goggles if you want something with built-in infrared illuminator). Nonetheless, color distortions are hardly noticeable during the daytime.For a powerful pair of binoculars, these optics are surprisingly compact and lightweight. It is rare to encounter models that claim to have a 12x magnification and weigh less than 9 oz each. The problem with this combination is that it is challenging to stabilize the optics. Shaking will likely trouble you more often than you’d like. Take a look at the Celestron Cometron 7x50 binoculars, which we think are some of the best binoculars for kids. They are nowhere near as tiny as the Occers reviewed here but are still considered compact. The right eyepiece has a diopter compensation, it only says +/- on a small scale. The rubber eyecups pop out with a twist by about 1/20 of an inch (6 mm), which is sufficient given the short eye relief. In terms of quality and performance, these optics are quite average. They provide bright and clear images with minimal color distortions, especially when there is good lighting. Thanks to the easy-to-use and strategically placed focus wheel, obtaining a laser-sharp focus is also easy. The fold-down eyecups fold down and stay down (unlike on the National Geographic 6x21 binoculars we reviewed). In fact, they are a little too easy to fold. We found it frustrating that any pressure applied to the eyecups when looking through them encouraged them to fold down. A little more resistance would be appreciated to prevent accidental folding.
