There are certain things one should count before buying a binocular – easy to handle and lightweight, good focus even with one hand, true colors, good for both feeders and butterflies, closing as close as 18 inches (thats the closest you can get), smooth focus knob, fast focus, bright, sharp and free from fringing. On the top of all the binocular should have generous warranty service.

Tripods are the supporters for birdwatcing cameras, are usually a little heavy to stop the disturbances from air, but are light enough to be carried from one place to another.One should compare the height of the tripod with himself as a tripod usually fits the users height. Avoid tripods with centre columns adjusted to cranks as they usually make noise. Monopodsare useful only with still cameras or video cameras.

The Scopes make for the main equipment for bird watching. Brightness, waterproof, mettalic, resolution, apertures, compact, light, maneuverable are the main features one should be looking for while buying a spotting scope. Some of the best at present are Carl Zeiss Diascope 85T FL, Swarovski ATS80 scope Swarovksi ATS80 HD and Pentax PF-80ED Pentax PF-80ED-A .
