Can someone recommend some cheapish binos, up to say £150. Will be used on walks in the woods to spot deer, boar and birds I’ve been using my Sony a9 and 200-600 but it gets bloody heavy keep holding it up looking for stuff. Need to be relatively light wight and compact, probably 8-10x mag.

So many on the market Im not sure where to start.
 
I can vouch for Bob’s recommendation, they are great for the price. So much so I bought a pair too but the Outlander version. They too are very good.
 
Thanks guys, I shall take a look.

I'd look at binoculars in the x7 or x 8 range for woods use. The x10 models will have a narrower field of view which will make it more difficult to spot wildlife, particularly at shorter distances, and the higher magnification makes them harder to hold steady.

I figured as much. I ordered the 8x45 version of the opticron model as posted by Bob earlier. Amazon had a warehouse listing so only 60 ish quid. (y)
