What changed in the binoculars?

The previous CL Companion models were a bit slimmer compared to the new model, but the new III model offers a better grip. The new binoculars weigh about 50 grams more than their predecessors, but the binoculars feel more balanced in the hand. Based on the test, the new CL Companion III finds its way into the field of view easier and faster when raised to the eyes, which is of course a positive thing in terms of the viewing experience.

The new CL Companion III 8x30 binoculars now have an 8-degree field of view, which means that the area visible at a distance of 1000 meters is 140 meters, compared to 6 degrees in previous versions. The binoculars' light transmission has also been improved thanks to newer coating technology.
