Nikon’s Compact Indoor Binoculars

Most of the binoculars Nikon makes are bulky, black, have a technical look to them, and are made for the outdoors.

But they also make this discreet, compact 4x10D CF pair, designed to not look out of place in indoor settings. Specifically, concert halls, theaters and museums.

The design is simple and basic: The only things you fiddle with are the central focus knob, and the two halves, which are hinged to adjust for your eye spacing.

They offer 4x magnification and offer a wide field of view, making them ideal for concerts. But the lenses are such that for museum use, you can use them to see details of objects as close as 3.9 feet away.

They come in three colors, a leather case is included, and they run $225.
