Macrobinoculars were handheld viewing devices that allowed users to observe distant objects. Some models were able to see into space from the surface of a planet.
Characteristics
Macrobinoculars were small devices with two cushioned eyecups and a top-mounted rangefinder. The standard pair of macrobinoculars included an internal readout that provided information on distance and elevation, and many could record and play back images. Although macrobinoculars were designed to be used either during the day or at night, some models specialized in the latter, such as the Nightview macrobinoculars introduced by Naescorcom.
Macrobinoculars were commonly thought of as inferior to electrobinoculars, as they lacked image-enhancement chips, and some did not come with light-adjustment circuitry. However, they were cheaper than electrobinoculars and more readily available in remote areas such as the Outer Rim Territories. Their resilience made them a popular choice among mercenaries.
