The Sogries 18×70 binoculars pair high magnification with a large 70 mm objective to deliver long-distance detail for stargazing, wildlife, and scenic viewing. BAK-4 prisms and a fogproof, waterproof chassis aim for brightness and clarity in dim light, while the included smartphone adapter and tripod adapter help stabilize shots and share the view. A rugged metal barrel adds durability—and heft—so a tripod is recommended for the steadiest results.
Key Features
High-Power 18×70 Optics
Reach farther with 18× magnification paired to 70 mm objectives that gather ample light for astronomy and long-range terrestrial viewing. The 18×70 spec balances reach with a usable exit pupil for twilight and night use.
Bright, Sharp BAK-4 Prisms
BAK-4 roof prisms enhance edge-to-edge sharpness and low-light performance, supporting bright, crisp views at dawn, dusk, and under the stars—ideal for moon craters, star fields, distant raptors, or shoreline subjects.
Waterproof & Fogproof Durability
An IPX7-rated, rubber-armored body is built for outdoor conditions, resisting rain and splashes while internal fogproofing helps keep the view clear through temperature swings. Designed for daily field use with a secure, grippy finish.
Tripod-Ready Stability
A metal barrel construction improves rigidity but adds weight; use the included 1/4-20 tripod adapter for steadier, more relaxed viewing during long sessions or at maximum magnification.
Smartphone Adapter & Carrying Case
The smartphone adapter fits phones ~2.09″–3.54″ (53–90 mm) wide and eyepieces ~0.95″–2.05″ (24–52 mm) to capture afocal photos and clips. A protective carrying case keeps the kit organized between outings.
Versatile, Long-Distance Viewing
From birding lookouts and coastal vistas to concert back rows and backyard astronomy, the 18× reach and 70 mm aperture cover a wide range of scenarios without swapping optics.
Additional Tips
- Use a tripod for the cleanest, shake-free views—especially for astronomy or detailed long-range subjects.
- Start with the center focus, then refine each eyepiece’s diopter for tack-sharp results tailored to your eyes.
- Extend or fold the rubber eyecups to match with/without glasses for proper eye relief and a full field of view.
- Let the binoculars acclimate to outdoor temperature to minimize thermal shimmer and preserve internal fog protection.
- Align the smartphone adapter so the phone camera is centered over the eyepiece; use a timer or remote shutter to reduce blur.
- Rinse off salt spray and wipe the armor with a damp cloth; use a blower and lens cloth for glass. Store dry in the case.
Conclusion
For adults seeking serious reach and brightness without stepping into a telescope, the Sogries 18×70 binoculars deliver high-power views, BAK-4 clarity, and an IPX7, tripod-ready build. With a phone adapter, tripod adapter, and carry case in the box, it’s a ready-to-go kit for astronomy nights, distant wildlife, and long-range sightseeing.
