Bino\'s for treework?

Because this was brought up earlier, and since it is raining here :( I thought about bino's for treework.

I have a set of Steiner's that are always in my kit, and I have a set of Zeiss 8x30's that I can use if it is an exceptionally dark, thick canopy.

I think they are a smashing item to have for any style of climbing.

you can inspect the canopy, your potential TIP, whether SRT or DdRT, the route for you rigging/climbing, rot inspection, insects/bees/animals,you can also use them for doing estimates and for disease evaluations from the ground..

all kinds of good uses.

plus the groundy can use them to inspect something you can clearly see, but they might not be able to from 100 feet below.

how many of you guys use them?
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

I keep a busted up Minolta 10x42 binocular in my bag all the time. They get used a lot.

I can't keep good binos for some reason. The Minolta was knocked down the stairs buy my daughter and my Canadian purchased Nikon (you guys still owe me 15% VAT) just magically turned up misaligned after she borrowed them.
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

I have the Nikon equivalent to to these.

They're small, light and are 10x magnification. I have much nicer binos for wildlife observation and birding but these reverse porro prism 10x's are relatively cheap, lightweight and live in my climbing gear pack. They have a fairly narrow field of vision (small objective lenses) but that's only a problem when you're trying to follow a small bird, since trees don't move much they're fine. 10x is very useful when you're trying to verify what your throwline is over after a high throw.

Are we talking about albinos? Just because they lack skin pigment, doesn't mean they can't do this work.

Nah.
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

Ok, I carry a pair like moss but different. And this poor thread has hit new lows. You guys need to get outdoors more.
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

I have a pair of Tasco 7x35's that I got for my birthday when I was 10 years old. In 3 years they will be 50. Still going strong too.
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

I use them alot ...keep a pair in the pickup for estimating jobs..I also use a digital camera to take pictures of jobs so I can review at home. two great tools if you want them to be
 
Re: Bino\'s for treework?

Digital cameras are the bomb!! great for documenting your jobs and great for consulting work. I always had a problem getting film developed. I have some 35mm stuff that is decades old needing developing! Shows just how much of a procrastinator I can be!
