Size Does Make A Difference. The primary advantage of an oversize objective lens (70 mm or more) is that it gathers more light than smaller lenses.

So in low–visibility environments it gives you a big advantage. Combine the big glass with lens coatings specially designed for that environment, coatings that filter certain wavelengths or polarize the light; and add high magnification, too. Now you've got the power you need.

Technical Stuff Made Simple. Giant binoculars have high magnification, of course, ranging from 15x to 150x, and even including models that zoom from 15x to 150x. Some models have built–in image stabilization. At these magnifications, though, all giant binoculars provide for tripod mounting or some other kind of fixed mount.

The Porro Prism Advantage. Most giant binoculars (also called jumbo binoculars) use Porro prisms, taking advantage of the wider field of view that system affords over "roof" prisms.

Heavy Weight Factor - Consider Options. When you need a construction crane to lift your binoculars in the first place, then it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to worry about compactness. Big binoculars have their uses, but before deciding to buy a pair, take a look at some monoculars and spotting scopes, too. Barska, Sunagor, and Swift offer giant binoculars
