When considering travel, choosing binoculars that offer convenience and portability is essential. Vortex Optics provides a range of lightweight options that deliver exceptional clarity and performance. Michael McDowell, an avid naturalist, and wildlife photographer will lead this class. Along with an employee of Vortex Optics, Michael has led birding and nature field trips for the past 25 years. He will supply you with the necessary information to select the most suitable optic based on your requirements. Although Michael will present via Zoom, Vortex will supply the optics to ensure you have the necessary equipment for a hands-on experience. The models included for this presentation include the following:
Binoculars: Compact, mid-size, and full-size.
