Strolling through nature with binoculars to observe animals and landscapes is an extremely romantic idea for many people. For some people, however, binoculars are not just a fun companion for recreational hiking, but rather an essential tool for work or hobby photography. Hunters and foresters depend on high-quality binoculars, but photographers also resort to these useful aids in certain situations. For nature photographers, they can be an important aid when familiarising yourself with a new area and looking for exciting motifs. In some cases, binoculars also replace or supplement the zoom function of the camera. To increase the functionality of binoculars in this respect and to protect the valuable equipment, various accessories can be useful. At Foto Erhardt you will find a large selection of practical accessories!
Depending on the lens, the zoom function of cameras is sometimes not sufficient to take a sharp picture of a distant subject. Digiscoping offers a solution to this problem. With appropriate adapters, for example from Zeiss, spotting scopes and digital cameras can be connected directly. This way you can not only observe, but also film and photograph what is happening around you in great quality. The results are razor-sharp images that cannot always be achieved with an average in-camera zoom. It is best to protect your adapter during transport in a specially fitting bag or look for an appropriately integrated device when choosing your camera bag.
Not only professional professional photographers with larger cameras can take advantage of the additional zoom through binoculars. Mobile phones can also be connected to binoculars via an adapter. Ideal for all those who prefer to take photos with their mobile phone or simply wanted to leave their large equipment at home for a change. Via the adapter, observations can be conveniently tracked on the mobile phone display and recorded at the same time.
High-quality binoculars can accompany you for a lifetime. So pay special attention to adequate protection of the sensitive equipment. A bag is extremely useful for transport and storage. Specially designed bags are available for some models. Universal bags are usually a little cheaper. You can find both in the Foto Erhardt range - just click through our offer! In any case, the bags should be quiet to open and close again, so that you do not make any loud noises and frighten the animals when observing them. If a bag is too bulky for you, you can also use a simple binocular cover. This protects the glass from rain, snow and minor impacts.
In addition to the accessories mentioned so far, a basic set of cleaning accessories is also important. These include a brush, microfibre cloth and cleaning fluid, as well as special cleaning products for binoculars. You can either fall back on an already complete cleaning set or buy the products individually. With an additional repair kit, you can also repair minor scratches in the glass or tighten loose parts on the binoculars again.
Binocular adapters can make long-term observations with heavy binoculars easier in particular. At Foto Erhardt you will find corresponding adapters in various designs. In addition, shoulder straps, a second pair of spare eyecups and floating straps can be useful additions to your binocular accessories. The swimming strap in particular can be useful for adventurous outdoor activities. Equipped with a special material that provides a strong buoyancy effect in the water, it prevents your binoculars from sinking. At Foto Erhardt you will find a wide range of different accessories for your binoculars. Take a look around and contact us if you have any questions - we will be happy to advise you!
