Nikon Action EX Extreme

The Nikon Action EX Extreme utilizes high-quality optics, so you can expect precise and clear images. These Nikon binoculars had the largest field of view of any we tested by a significant margin, and coupled with low-powered magnification, these are an excellent choice for action and closer-distance viewing.

Pros: At 163m, the Nikon Action EX Extreme has the widest field of view out of all the binoculars we reviewed, allowing you to watch nimble birds or fast-paced sporting events with ease. Testers noted that these binoculars were easy to adjust and dial in, which is particularly important for viewing action.

Cons: With a 35mm objective lens, these action binoculars can’t catch as much light as some other models, so they wouldn’t be the best choice for low or poor lighting situations. They also weigh in at just over 28oz, which is slightly heavier than the average of 26oz in binoculars we reviewed.

Bottom Line: The Nikon Action EX Extreme uses quality optics to product crisp and clear images that can easily be adjusted to keep up with action.

Best for: Well-lit arenas and areas when you need to keep up with fast-paced action
