Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8x30 Binoculars

Overview

Small in size but packing the features and performance expected from a Nikon optic, the Nikon PROSTAFF P7 8x30 Binoculars are a great companion for backpacking, birding, and travel. The 8x magnification shows detail at a distance while being easier to hold steady than more powerful binoculars, and at under 13 cm in length the compact, fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate body won't take up much space in a gear bag. The binocular is nitrogen filled and sealed against water and fog, so it can be carried confidently on outdoor adventures.

Antireflective Lenses with Dielectric Prisms

Multilayer antireflective lens coatings cut glare and reflection for sharper, clearer views, while phase-correction coating on the roof prisms adds definition and detail. Nikon's dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating maximises light transmission for brighter, more accurate colour, and the glass itself is lead-free and arsenic-free.

Locking Diopter Adjustment

A locking diopter ring, often reserved for higher-end binoculars, lets you set a customised focus offset between your eyes and lock it in place, which is especially handy when the binoculars are shared between users.

Waterproof & Fogproof Construction

The PROSTAFF P7 8x30 is filled with bone-dry nitrogen gas and sealed to keep moisture out, so the lenses stay fog-free even moving from a warm car into cold winter air. It is also waterproof to 1 m, so it can be used confidently around splashing water or in wet weather, though it is not designed for underwater use.

Comfortable All-Day Viewing

15.4mm of eye relief means both eyeglass wearers and naked-eye users can find a clear, comfortable viewing position, aided by turn-and-slide eyecups that retract for glasses or extend for everyone else. An oil- and water-repellent coating on the objective and eyepiece lenses makes it easy to wipe away moisture, fingerprints, and smudges between uses.

Compact, Durable Polycarbonate Body

A closed-bridge chassis in strong, fibreglass-reinforced polycarbonate keeps the binoculars lightweight at 484.8g without sacrificing toughness, and the dark green rubber-armored exterior provides a secure, nonslip grip along with protection from bumps and knocks. A large center focusing knob makes it quick to dial in a sharp view with one hand.
