Nikon Sportstar EXII 10x25

• Compact fold-up body: The dual-hinge design folds down small for travel, events, and everyday carry, so the binoculars are easy to pack without taking up much space.
• 10x magnification: Higher magnification helps bring distant subjects closer for spectator sports, sightseeing, and wildlife observation when more reach matters than the widest possible view.
• Waterproof and fogproof construction: Nitrogen-filled sealing helps the binoculars stay clear in changing weather and temperature shifts, making them more dependable outdoors.
• Multilayer-coated optics: Nikon uses multilayer-coated lenses to improve light transmission, which helps maintain a brighter, clearer image with better contrast in daylight use.
• Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups: The eyecups make it easier to find a consistent viewing position, which improves comfort during longer observation sessions.

About the Nikon Sportstar Series

Nikon Sportstar sits in Nikon’s compact binoculars range and is built for users who want a small, easy-to-carry optic for travel, spectator sports, and general outdoor use. The series includes both roof-prism EX models and a Porro-prism Zoom model, giving the line a clear focus on portability while covering different viewing preferences. In the current range, Nikon announced the SPORTSTAR EX II models on February 17, 2026 as the successors to the earlier Sportstar EX versions.

Across the series, the design priorities are practical and straightforward: central focusing for quick adjustment, multilayer-coated optics for a brighter image, and turn-and-slide rubber eyecups for easier eye placement. The EX variants add nitrogen-filled, waterproof and fog-proof construction, which makes them better suited to birdwatching, outdoor activities, and day trips where weather can change. Compared with larger full-size binoculars, the Sportstar line emphasizes low bulk and fast handling, making it a sensible choice for users who value convenience and portability over maximum low-light performance.

About the Nikon Sportstar EXII 10x25

The Nikon Sportstar EXII 10x25 is the longer-reaching model in this compact series, combining 10x magnification with a small 25 mm objective format. That makes it especially useful for viewing distant action at sporting events, following landmarks while travelling, or picking out detail in open terrain. The extra magnification gives a closer view than an 8x compact binocular, while the fold-up body keeps the binocular easy to carry in a jacket pocket, daypack, or glove compartment.

This model uses a roof prism system in a slim dual-hinge housing, helping it stay compact when folded and comfortable in the hand when opened. Its 114 m field of view at 1,000 m is balanced toward reach rather than maximum width, which suits users who want more detail on distant subjects. The 10.0 mm eye relief and turn-and-slide rubber eyecups help establish a repeatable viewing position, while the 3.5 m close focus remains practical for nearby subjects during general outdoor use.

For field use, the key advantage is that this binocular combines waterproof and fogproof construction with multilayer-coated lenses in a body that weighs only 310 g. That combination makes it well suited to travel and everyday outdoor carry, where low weight and weather resistance matter as much as optical reach. It is a compact binocular designed for users who want a simple, durable Nikon optic with enough magnification to make distant subjects easier to study.

About Nikon

Nikon was established in Tokyo on July 25, 1917 as Nippon Kogaku K.K., and the company later changed its name to Nikon Corporation on April 1, 1988. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Nikon works across imaging products, precision equipment, healthcare, industry, components, and digital manufacturing. In sport optics, its range includes binoculars, fieldscopes, and laser rangefinders.

Nikon has a long connection with compact binoculars, having introduced its MIKRON compact binoculars in 1921. Its current sport optics families include MONARCH, PROSTAFF, EDG, ACULON, and High Grade, covering uses from casual observation to more demanding field work. In binoculars, Nikon is particularly known for practical optical design and the use of multilayer-coated lenses on many models to improve light transmission and image clarity.
