For some basic information on what to look for, see our How to Choose Binoculars.

If you have never used binoculars, or if you have only used low-quality models, you may be surprised at the bright, clear images and the ease of use offered by even moderately priced optics. Read on for an overview of the different categories of binoculars in our shop, but know that this page illustrates only a fraction of the models we carry. Unlike online or big box retailers, we maintain a curated selection: if we keep it in the store, you can trust that it is a good quality binocular that fills a specific niche of size, price, or function. Here at Wild Birds Unlimited in Novato, we have one of the best selections of binoculars not just in Marin, but in the whole San Francisco Bay Area.
