Buying binoculars can be a daunting experience, especially if this is your first pair. It is best to purchase your first pair at a store that specializes in binoculars and accessories than buying them online so you can make sure that you are getting what you need and not purchasing unnecessary accessories. One of the first things that you need to have in mind is what you are going to use them for and then you need to know just how much you want to spend on them. If you are going to be carrying them around a lot you want to make sure that they are not too heavy. Most binoculars come with a strap to make it easier to carry so you should look at the quality. You should look to see if the strap is padded and is adjustable because you do not want to have a stiff sore neck at the end of the day after wearing them around your neck for a long period of time.

Having a padded adjustable strap helps to spread the load of the binoculars and will help to prevent any chafing on your neck. If it is not a good strap you can purchase another one to replace this one. There are also binocular harnesses that you can get if you have a history of back or neck problems or are purchasing a pair of binoculars that are somewhat heavy. This harness will help to increase your comfort.

You also want to check out the type of lens covers that come with the binoculars you are considering purchasing. You want to see if they can be attached to the barrels of the binoculars to keep them from being lost. If they are not then you will need to make sure that you have somewhere safe to put the lens covers until you need them. You also want to make sure that they are a good design and that they cover the lens snugly but not too tight. If they are attached to the barrel you want to make sure that you can move them quickly if you want to look at something to the binoculars.

You also want to make sure that you have a case to put your binoculars in to keep them safe when not in use. You want to get one that is practical and has some storage areas. It does not matter if it looks cute or trendy because what matters is the durability and whether it will protect your binoculars. Good binocular cases should be made of nylon or soft leather. It would be helpful if the case has a belt attachment and its own shoulder strap.

Depending on what you are going to use your binoculars for there are other accessories that might be necessary. For example if you are a target shooter, hunter, or astronomer you may want to have a tripod mount. Some binoculars come with a tripod adaptor so you can add a tripod if necessary but if it does not then you may see if one can be added or you may have to choose another pair if you need a tripod mount.
