Founded in 1970, Opticron is a UK based family firm with over fifty years’ experience in consumer optics. In that time we have met and hopefully exceeded the demands of tens of thousands of people looking for a high-quality affordable binocular, fieldscope or accessory to help them pursue their pastime, hobby or obsession. Irrespective of age, budget or experience we aim to provide you with the best possible mix of quality, choice, value and service.
Our maxim “smaller, lighter, brighter, sharper” is the driving force behind the compact and lightweight nature of our equipment. Designed to meet the demands of people who actively use their kit we also aim to offer a range of models at different price points so you are not compromised and find something that works for you.
Quality and value are two factors in our success which have been developed through partnerships with a small group of manufacturers over many years. The benefits of these relationships are seen in the price and performance of our products as well as the guarantees we offer on them.
Innovation is a key part of our philosophy - bringing new and better solutions as people’s needs change over time. One of the first companies outside Europe’s big three to launch an internally focused, sub 2m close focus roof prism binocular, we were a forerunner in the development of the travelscope which we continue to develop today.
We also offer the widest range of full-size field monoculars and mid-size 8x32/10x32’s of any firm in the market as well as a comprehensive range of lightweight image stabilised products aimed at people wanting higher power or a steadier image vs. a conventional device.
It is not only how a product looks and works out-of-the-box but also how well it responds after being in the rain, pulled out of a backpack in 40°C heat or -20°C when all around is frozen over. Our equipment is designed and built to work in all weathers and with care and the occasional service - for a lifetime.
With all our experience we accept things can go wrong and know how to deal with them when they do. Whether you experience accidental damage or a product failure, our team of technicians will diagnose and repair your product from replacing a broken eyecup to carrying out a rebuild.
We hope you find our website interesting and informative. If you have any questions about the products and services we offer or about any of our policies relating to the environment, ethical trading, modern slavery, equality, anti-corruption or health & safety please contact us and we will reply in person.
