Nilkon's demonstrable misinformation

I'm aware that nowhere in the product descriptions does it state that the Prostaff 5 12x50 is tripod-adaptable, but in my opinion it should be. I got these with the assumption they would be, being 12-power especially. Well, I was told that, as is customary, all one had to do was remove the central axis cap counterclockwise, revealing a 1/4"-20 female thread into which your run-of-the-mill tripod adapter would fasten. Wrong! If (and when destroying the thing) you get they cap off, the thread is just peculiar. It is flat at first, then around 1/4" in, there are threads, but none of my wide assortment of adapters will fit there. I phoned Nikon and was promised hesitatingly that an exception would be made and they wound let me have a replacement for the mangled cap (needed vice grips to remove; all scratched up). That was last December and I am yet to receive it! Optically, however, after they were mounted on a "universal tripod adapter",my discovery was that in the end they were worth the price, very nice views, even though not new, they look as if they'd received a few battle scars of late. So the rather pricey optic was, in the long run, worth it, I guess.

If, and only if...

These ifs mean the strange fact that the Prostaff 5 12x50s are not tripod-adaptable in the usual way. If you are tempted, as I was, to remove the circular cap between and in front of the barrels, it will need to be scratched up first, only to reveal a female thread that's not going to accept any typical 1/4"-20 adapter. So, anyway, I bought a universal binocular strap-type mount for under twenty bucks and that works fine, steadily aiming the clear and bright optical system one comes to expect from Nikon.

Under the banner of Nikon's trusted optics, the PROSTAFF 5 12x50 Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular stands as a testament to high-quality, reliable viewing equipment. This latest addition to the PROSTAFF line is a versatile tool, designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind. Whether you're birdwatching or embarking on an adventurous trek, this binocular is your perfect companion.

The PROSTAFF 5 binocular boasts multilayer-coated lenses, a feature that enhances light transmittance across the entire visible light spectrum. This advanced coating technology minimizes light loss due to reflection, delivering a more natural, clearer, and brighter view of your surroundings.

Constructed with a fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate resin, the PROSTAFF 5 binocular is not only lightweight but also incredibly durable. It's sturdy enough to withstand extreme adventures, yet light enough to carry with ease, making it an ideal choice for any outdoor activity.

Nikon's high-eyepoint design is another standout feature of the PROSTAFF 5 binocular. This design ensures a clear field of view for all users, including eyeglass wearers, by providing ample space between the user's eye and the eyepiece lens.

The binocular also features turn-and-slide multi-click rubber eyecups, allowing users to adjust the eye-relief for a custom fit. This thoughtful design ensures maximum comfort and a full field of view during extended periods of use.

The smooth central focus knob is intuitively designed for fast, detailed focusing on subjects, whether they're close-in or at a distance.

Above all, the PROSTAFF 5 binocular is waterproof and fogproof. Thanks to its Nitrogen-filled and O-Ring sealed construction, it offers complete waterproof and fogproof performance, making it suitable for use in all weather conditions.

In summary, the 12x50 PROSTAFF 5 Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular is a high-quality, durable, and reliable choice for those seeking clear, detailed views in any outdoor setting.
