Capture the Clarity.

In today's fast-paced world, our smartphones have become more than just communication devices; they're our go-to tools for capturing precious moments, whether it's a breathtaking landscape, a candid shot of a loved one, or an awe-inspiring wildlife encounter. But let's face it, as much as smartphone cameras have improved, there are times when we wish we could capture more detail, zoom in closer, and elevate our photography game. Enter the NOCS Provisions Photo Rig – a revolutionary smartphone accessory designed to transform your phone into a powerhouse camera capable of capturing incredible detail, just like using a professional-grade 400mm or 500mm camera lens. With NOCS Binoculars you can now not only see clearer, but you can capture that clarity right on your phone.

Equipped with a 400mm or 500mm equivalent focal length (when combined with the 10x magnification), the NOCS Photo Rig ensures that no detail is too distant to capture. Whether you're at a sporting event, on a safari, or simply enjoying a scenic view, this accessory allows you to zoom in and capture intricate details that might have otherwise been missed.

Key Features:

In the world of outdoor exploration and wildlife observation, a reliable pair of binoculars can make all the difference. The NOCS Provisions Standard Issue Waterproof Binoculars have garnered attention for their promise of durability, functionality, and superior optical performance. Whether you're an avid birdwatcher, a sports enthusiast, or a nature lover, these binoculars truly live up to the hype.

Compact and Crystal Clear

The Standard Issue 8x25 and 10x25 redefines compact binoculars - by packing Swiss optical engineering in your palm. Using the highest grade optics we could source: authentic Bak4 Prisms and Fully Multi Coated lenses, this binocular provides a bright, wide field of view, wherever you go.

Fully Waterproof + Fogproof

Whether it's a rogue wave, a kayak flip, or a spilled beer at the ball game, the Standard Issue is ready. Submersible for 30 minutes in up to 3 feet of water, meeting IPX7 waterproof criteria, Nocs dare to go.

Fully Multi Coated Lenses

Each Nocs binoculars has 6 pieces of glass in both cylinders, each piece layered in anti-reflective coating with a low refractory index. Each surface is coated with multiple layers, for a crisp, bright image, and color clarity to the edge of the field of view.

Rugged No Slip Grip

It's true, the ridges on the product look nice, fit well in small and large hands alike, and provide plenty of grip - and it also doubles to protect the optics from impact by dissipating impact force. Patented.

Light and Pocketable

Weighing in at 11.85oz (336 g), the Standard Issue is there when you need it and disappears when you don't. Not literally, although we hope to invent disappearing binoculars someday. In the meantime, travel light with Nocs.

BRAND INFO

OUR STORY

Nocs was born at the Citadel of Excitement, with a dream of juicing every last drop of our time outside. We kept wishing we had a set of nocs enough times where finally one day we bought some. And we used them every day. Checking the surf. Exploring backcountry lines. Watching our raccoon pals emerge at night. Seeing the world differently. On a closer level.

Inspired by life at the beach, Nocs is an ode to the original seafarers and coastal pioneers. Nocs Provisions is a collective of people who are stoked to seek the unseen. To travel curiously, and to discover the best spots along the way.

The design is inspired by the seemingly symmetric yet completely unique lines of the sea and the coastal dunes where they meet. The logo is inspired by the sunset. And the packaging is plastic free.

Nocs Provisions are here to serve the next generation of humans with the goal to disconnect from technology and look deeper in nature. With compact waterproof binoculars built to travel, we aim to make the discovery and study of our surroundings simple. Paired with a sense of wonder and curiosity, we believe this will foster understanding and compassion for our planet. Nocs are a tool to be present in the moment and to see the deep interconnectedness of all living things on this earth. It’s time that we return to nature as our source of truth.
