You will find some tabs on top of the screen with labels, go to the one marked “optics”. It will give you a selection of other choices, click on binoculars. That will give you a choice of powers (10x, 8x, etc). Select one of those and you will get a nice list of quality binoculars.
For what you want to do, you don’t need anything more than 10 power. If you plan on carrying these on your person a lot, then look for a light weight device.
You will see terms like, 10×50 or 8×42, etc. The first number is the magnification factor, so 10x is ten power. The second number is the diameter of the lens in millimeters. A 50mm lens is as large as you need to go. The larger the lens the more light it gathers, but beyond 50mm is really the point of no returns for lens.
A 10×50 binocular is on the heavy side if you plan on carrying the thing around your neck a lot. There are some light weight ones made, just search the midway site and you will find them.
Stay away from fancy stuff like auto focus and power zoom. They are just gimmicks you really don’t need.
Some of the glass you can look at are: Barska, Tasco, Bushnell, Simmons, etc. Prices will range from about $25 to $100 for a basic pair of binoculars. If you have a lot of money to spend and want outstanding quality, check out the Zeiss glass, they are in the $500 class.
about a 10 power but it will read 10×25 the 25 gives the width the smaller the number the narrow the veiw. Go to http://www.harborfrieght or http://www.notherntool. I got a offbrand one and they work great and have a built in digetal camera built in. For about 40 bucks, Mine is a vivetar but can’t remember where I ordered it from.

- haha your funny… you must not be able to comprehend the meaning. because there surely is one and a very true one at that. try to listen a little better before you hastily judge an exceptional band..
Anika, that’s my comment above: paring down to 7 essential choices is what it says to me. I agree with Pea.
She makes me happy I know where I'll be Right by your side' Cause she is the one (ganti he)
• Tony McCoy ebullient after mount beats Khyber Kim • Nicky Henderson equals training record with fifth win Successfully transformed from non-runner to winner in the space of less than a month, Binocular (9-1) took the Champion Hurdle under Tony McCoy at the Festival here. Four weeks ago, a muscle problem was said to have been identified which would keep him out of the race but, after the six-year-old schooled well at Nicky Henderson’s Lambourn yard last Wednesday, the decision was taken that he would run after all. Blinkered for the first time, Celestial Halo set the early pace, stalked by Binocular’s stablemate Zaynar. Coming down the hill with half a mile to go, McCoy eased his mount into contention and, from the third-last onwards, his mount appeared a certain winner. When asked to quicken before the last, Binocular took the sting out of his nearest pursuer, Khyber Kim, and maintained a healthy advantage all the way to the line, eventually scoring by three and a half lengths, with…
