Description of STEINER COMMANDER Binoculars

Steiner offers one of the most outstanding binoculars on the market for marine use. You can choose between three 7x50 models, one of them without compass, one with compass suitable for specific areas around the world and one with compass Commander Global that can automatically measure declinations around the globe. Both models offer not only perfectly accurate navigation but optical properties don’t fall short of amazing, neither does great ergonomics for such rugged Porro prism binoculars that are also extremely well protected with Nano coating and tightly sealed housing, which won’t give up even in the harshest weather conditions. Impermeable construction is also filled with nitrogen so you won’t be dealing with inner fogging due to temperature fluctuations.

Basic Feature

All Steiner Commander binoculars have many great features and offer 7x50 configuration, useful for usage on the water, such as sailing and yachting during daytime or twilight.

We can’t get past the incredible durability of these binoculars that are enclosed in unique Makrolon® housing that helps reduce the weight and together with lightweight construction still manages to offer indestructible housing which is able to withstand the harshest weather conditions, even desert or arctic circumstances. They are purged with nitrogen gas to fight against fogginess due to temperature fluctuations. Outer lenses are equipped with Nano-Protection® with lotus effect that repels moisture, water, oil and thus helps to wipe and clean them less regularly. Commander 7x50c and Commander Global 7x50c are both equipped with compass that offers perfectly accurate navigation information. Commander Global even has an integrated compass that is self-calibrating which means you can use it all around the globe, since they make automatic declination adjustments, while Commander 7x50c works only in specific areas in the world. Illuminated compass provides you with smooth readings of direction and also include ranging reticle that helps you calculate the distance to the observable object.

Optical properties

They offer high-definition optics with finest glass and high-quality coatings on all glass surfaces that provides high light permeability, amazing contrast and colors. Steiner Global prides itself with extremely low distortion and chromatic aberration. Image is extremely razor sharp from edge to edge. All three models offer larger field of view so you won’t miss a thing. All models also offer individual focusing mechanism to make proper adjustments for both eyes individually that will keep razor sharp image even when changing the distance to the observable object. Together with diopter that stores its settings these binoculars are simply amazing.

Accessories

Steiner Commander series offer great accessories such as ClicLoc® system that helps to release the binoculars from the harness very easily and floatable neckstrap in bright yellow color that will protect them against sinking and for you to easily spot them in case of losing. They are also equipped with rainguards and objective lens covers for maximum protection against scratches and other impacts. They are equipped with ErgoFlex - side flaps that block the light and wind from the side when looking through the binoculars. You can store them in padded case for storage.

Marine binoculars are designed to be used at sea, where magnification over 7x usually causes seasickness. These binoculars also offer great protection against the water and are not sensitive to high temperatures or their housing being exposed to sunlight.

Many of these binoculars also include a compass or some kind of reticle for range finding.

General features:

Waterproof housing
Porro prism design
7x magnification
Individual focusing
Compass
A reticle for range estimations

Marine Binoculars with a Compass

At sea, having a compass is very useful for navigating and coordinating positions. To combine the compass and binoculars in one device seemed logical so that you do not have two things at once in your hands.

There are 2 principles of displaying the compass reading:

An analog scale on the bottom of the field of view of the compass with degrees written on (can be illuminated in more expensive models)
The digital display in the middle of the field of view (push the button to read the degrees, transparent display, which reduces transmittance. The compass is easier to use if it displays degrees in the middle).

Steiner Commander Global 7x50

Built-in Rangefinder

Rangefinding Binoculars are more or less all very similar- having a scale in the middle of the field of view, with which you can calculate the distance to the observed objects if you know their size.

Good „miling“ requires a lot of experience and good prediction. It is the same principle as with tactical riflescopes. The scale is milliradian.

For now, there are no marine binoculars available with the laser rangefinder.

Why is 7x50 the most common Marine Binoculars configuration?

The 7x50 has established itself as a golden standard. While looking through the binoculars the 7x magnification does not shake the image to the point of getting seasickness, and our brains can normally compensate it.

Most of them have Porro prism because it makes them easier to seal and individual focus for each eye separately. 50 mm objective lens and 7x magnification give the 7 mm exit pupil, which is the most comfortable to use as it eliminates the trembling and allows us to always see a "full" picture.

Marine Binoculars with Image Stabilization and Individual Focusing

Image Stabilization

Most modern marine binoculars have this function, as it is possible to use higher magnification for better details. Normally, such binoculars are larger, heavier, and more expensive.

They usually do not offer as good resolution as the classic ones with the same magnification. It is also a major weakness that they are not as reliable (less permeable if they fall into the sea and less resistant to falls) and bumps and are less bright.

They do, however, offer the use of higher magnification on moving boats due to their ability to stabilize the image.

Individual Focusing

This feature is extremely common in this type of binoculars, as it also achieves the best water tightness.

Steiner Marine Binoculars

In Europe, Steiner has become an established provider of marine binocular to the extent that nobody else in the premium class actually produces them anymore (Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski ...).

Steiner has 3 series of this type of binoculars.

Low Light Binoculars

Configuration 7x50 and Porro prism are optimal because of a 7mm exit pupil, good light transmission, and focusing separated for each eye.

All these features mean that this type of binoculars is also the best choice for observing in the dark.

Due to all of the above configurations, they are perfect for dusk and dawn - however, they are not popular in hunting due to their special appearance, size, and inadequate colors.
