We shall try to group the different series (or models) based on what type of binocular they are so it would be easier for you to choose which ones you need as each type caters to different applications.

Barska Digital Binoculars

The Digital type binocular is a sort of Barska’s version of bino-scoping.

It is a combination of a binocular and a digital camera. The series that fall in this category is the Point n View binoculars.

The Point n View series is designed so that you can have the convenience of having an integrated digital camera with your binocular.

If you like what you’re seeing, you can take photos or record videos of the views or images with the digital camera.

Take note though that the camera has its own optics and it is not using the lens of the binoculars so the resolution (or quality) of the images are different compare with the binoculars.

There are two models available in this series, the 8×22 and the 8×32. The Point n View 8×32 is the more popular model of the two.

Barska Zoom (Terrestrial or Celestial) Binoculars

The next type of binoculars in Barska’s range are the Zoom binoculars (also called Terrestrial, Celestial or Astronomical types).

These binoculars are designed to provide users powerful magnification to get more details of long-distance views and images. Because of its powerful and adjustable zoom feature, the Zoom type binoculars are usually used for far-distance viewing of the sky or land.

There are three (3) series from Barska that fall into this category:
