Sunagor Japan proudly presents their flagship model the 30-160x70 “Mega Zoom” Binoculars. Sunagor, a brand synonymous with high magnification binoculars, have incorporated over 50 years of cutting edge and market leading innovation in zoom technology into this new model. These binoculars offer a staggering 160x maximum magnification which could bring even the most distant object into view, giving an unrivalled long distance viewing experience.
The World’s Most Powerful Binoculars
“Claimed to be the most powerful bins in the world, and we’re not going to quibble!”
- The Times Newspaper, London
The Sunagor 30-160x70s are widely believed to be the World’s most powerful pair of binoculars. At their starting point of 30x magnification, they already offer an above standard level of power found only on much more specialist binoculars. However, to then be able to move from 30x up to a maximum of 160x magnification, these binoculars enter a power class of their own and in doing so, redefine the boundaries of modern zoom optics. With a choice of magnification anywhere from 30x to 160x, these Sunagor binoculars offer the user complete versatility over their viewing distance and one that is unrivalled in range by any other zoom binoculars on the market.
Full zoom lever redesign to accommodate the unbelievable magnification range

In order to accommodate a market leading magnification range, special consideration was required in the design of the zoom functions on the Sunagor 30-160x70 binoculars. The first area of redesign was the zoom lever, the function that controls the amount of magnification. Sunagor have made the lever larger than normal and have also designed it to be a little more firm when sliding it. The combination of these two new features, make zooming the 30-160x70s a more precise and manageable experience. The second area of redesign is the positioning of the zoom lever.
Specialist Design
Developed in Japan, the binoculars have a durable design, with rubber armoured body to provide protection for the internal optics. The rubber armouring also gives the binoculars a great non-slip surface to grip, even when wearing gloves. With such a large magnification range, one could assume that the binoculars might be too heavy and large to handle, but with the Sunagor 30-160x70 binoculars, this is not the case. Weighing in at a below average (for their class) 1.4kg and measuring 25cm in length, they are manageable by hand and easy to transport.
Robust rubber armoured design with BCF one piece construction

Unlike many binoculars, the Sunagor 30-160x70 are of BCF “one-piece” construction. This means that the barrels are not simply screwed on to the body, but the entire product is produced using one mould. The end result means that the binoculars offer more precision and a higher degree of rigidity. This helps to avoid collimation (alignment) problems which can sometimes be associated with very high magnification binoculars.
The binoculars incorporate collapsible rubber eyecups which allow spectacle wearers to enjoy a complete field of view. Located on each side of the binoculars, there are purpose built lugs which allow a neck strap (included) to be attached, thus helping a user to properly distribute the binocular’s weight. The other design feature is a centrally located tripod socket (located between the two barrels), Sunagor recommend using a tripod to stabilise the binoculars at higher magnifications.

To optimise the incredible magnification, Sunagor have put a good emphasis on the quality of the internal optics within their 30-160x70 binoculars which boast the following features:- Firstly, they incorporate generous 70mm objective lenses which help to maximise the amount of light entry, even at higher magnifications. Secondly, all optical components in the binoculars are manufactured from high quality Japanese eco-glass and all surfaces have been treated with specialist Sunagor coatings. Finally, the highest quality BAK-4 prisms have been used within the Porro design. All of these premium optical features combine to increase light transmission and reflectivity in order to produce clear and vivid images.
Useful Accessories
The Sunagor 30-160x70 binoculars come with a set of useful accessories. A durable padded case is designed to protect the binoculars when not in use. A neck strap, constructed of durable nylon, is designed to firmly attach to the binoculars and help to distribute their weight during transport. Also included is a pair of objective lens covers, eyepiece protectors and a high quality tripod adapter, which allows the binoculars to be easily connected to any tripod.
Wide Ranging Use
Thanks to their market leading zoom capability, the Sunagor 30-160x70 “Mega Zoom” Binoculars can be put to a wide ranging number of, previously impossible, new activities as well as help to extend typically popular viewing pursuits.
One of the most optimal ways to enjoy the incredible magnification is to observe subjects at a very long distance, therefore making these binoculars ideally suited to all types of astronomical use. Between 100x and 160x magnification, the binoculars can match the power of expensive telescopes, with the added benefit of two eyepieces to observe through as opposed to just one found on telescopes. Distant stars, moons, planets and even galaxies can be easily viewed through these powerful binoculars, making them the ultimate astronomy tool.
Coming a bit closer to Earth..... thanks to the improved design features, including rubber armour and manageable portability, the binoculars are also suitable for use in general observation activities which occur out in the field. Included are various forms of long distance wildlife watching where distance may need to be maintained in order not to scare a viewing subject off. Equally, they also serve purpose in more professional or tactical observation activities, such as covert or even military applications where concealment or maintaining distance is fundamental to an operation. Aircraft spotting and observation is also a very popular pursuit for which these binoculars are ideal. Finally, of course, these binoculars have also found uses in the varied world of sports where the benefits of a binocular form outweigh those of a less versatile and portable spotting scope.

I have a pair of these particular binoculars so I know what I'm talking about when I say that they are absolutely brilliant and unbelievably powerful! I originally read up on Sunagor who are well known for quality ultra powerful binoculars in Europe and this is their top model and apparently the world's most powerful. With a zoom magnification of 30X going up to 160X, I reckon that's true - there's nothing else I've seen out there that offers this amount of power and they are capable of viewing over huge distances.
They are beautifully made (Japanese) and have those higher grade bak-4 prisms with multi-coated lenses. The objective front lens size is 70mm so although these babies are a fair size, they're manageable. I use a tripod with them at the higher magnifications because it's pretty difficult to handhold them steady at 160X. They actually come with a tripod adapter for that purpose. What I will add is that to compare a pair of regular 20X70 binocs to these Sunagor Megazooms is like comparing a regular car to racing car. Try them and you'll see what I mean.

I searched for over a month among all possible binoculars and spotting scopes. My primary goal was to get a high magnification binoculars. These binos are stronger than all the spotting scopes and binoculars in the market. The closest one in Yukon 6-100x-100 spotting scope. I read the discussions in birding forums about the idea on these binos. At the end, I bought them and took a 3 hours test on them. First I did not use a tripod and in high magnifications it seemed that I would never get a focused image. but the day after I took my tripod to a local lake and tested it again. I was amazed on how strong they were. I takes time to get used to the processes of focusing but at the end you will be satisfied. since for each magnification you have to focus again, so getting a full zoom with a acceptable clarity takes time. Of course these binos are not good for birding since in birding the target is small, however; if you enjoy using it to look at distant views or hunting, then these binos are the best in the world. Another thing is that in general zoom binoculars have darker image compared to fixed ones and this is physics and we can not do much about it. but if you love to see an average target from miles away then this is a must for you.

These are a great pair of binoculars that offer a very clear view. It is pretty easy to look at sections of the moon, but even when one sees the whole thing they can see the splatter marks from the hits it has taken. A tripod is a real good idea because it helps when increasing the magnification. They are a bit heavy, which is another reason a tripod is a sound investment, but the weight is necessary to allow them to do what they do. The tirpod gets in the way as the angle increases. Where I live there isn't anything far enough away for anything above 25X and then I can see the individual branches on trees a couple thousand yards away. These are lots of fun!
