Would these work well for sporting events? How's the weight, stability and view for a watching a football game from the 300 level?

The weight and stability would be fine. I used them for hunting and holding them for extended periods of time. The viewing area I don't think would be great for the fast action of football. Depending on the stadium the 300 level would be the only area I would attempt using these binos.

They are great for sporting events. I have Packer tickets at Lambeau field (Row 56 which is close to the 300 level) and I use them all the time. Also, easy to share with my husband since no adjustments are needed. I think these bee nocks were made for sporting events!

its good for football, if you'r on the sidelines,not in the stands. I'm not sure if will work with the 3000.

These would be pretty good for football games. Nice wide field of view and a bright image certainly help to see who has the ball.

The mount is fantastic. I don't know why it wouldn't it can handle a couple hundred pounds most screens are light.

I would recommend them but u have to take into consideration that there NOT THE BEST!! out of 10/- (7.1/2) if its under 30ft there great @65 hard to determine but possible to see I think u should ask for different options n specification for what u really looking 4. With that been said good Luck finding what u want . remember that just my opinion.

The magnification is idea for sporting events. I would not consider any stronger magnification. These are very high quality binoculars with some special features ideal for birding (e.g. fully coated Nikon optics). You may not need such optics for a well lit sporting event, but they will make the viewing experience superior to lesser binoculars (if you can afford the cost). Fully coated optics which gather much more light than typical uncoated optics. This makes for a much brighter image. Ideal for low light and back-lit birding. Do not go any stronger for a sporting event otherwise you will be focused on too narrow of a range.

I have never used them for watching racing before, but they do auto focus so its easy to follow moving items so I would assume they would work well for that.

Everything depends on setting..bit I have only used it for outdoor events. No complaints

Yes, I did use this to see the super bowl and it was good. It has very short throw, so you will get big picture in a small distance. I wish it was 1080P.

I used this mounts in my office with 37" displays. Worked absolutely fine. Most of the new generation displays are not heavy at all. So I wouldn't worry about the weight limit, unless you are planning instal something old and heavy. The only thing I would worry is the distance at the back of the screen. You need to be sure that the screw holes on the mount will align with the display. I would try to use a larger size mount.

Nikon's optics are incredibly 3-dimensional, with very bright and easy-to-see details. Just be sure the binocs you buy have a wide-enough field of vision to work while watching sports. You will love Nikon.

Outdoor video is okay, as long as there is good lighting. The low lux on this particular brand is not all that exciting, making playback of videos taken in low light situations somewhat fuzzy and greyish. The zooming qualities should work fine for sports, although you shouldn't expect the quality as compared to that taken with , lets say, a 14 0r 16 megapixel camera. Hope this was helpful.

At short range, I didnt like them, even for a football game. I also took them on a camping trip Let hworth State Park (Grand Canyon of the East) and for long range viewing they were great. I hope this helps.

I would not use my 85mm for sporting events, I would use my AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED. And use the sports mode on the dial. I am not a pro though.

These will work perfect for what you are in need of. I wore them at a very loud NASCAR race this summer and had no problems hearing and understanding the radio broadcast. Further, with a set of strong batteries, I had no problems picking up the station either (even when moving about the facility). I would definitely recommend them for your game.

I think they would be great. Although sturdy, they are fairly lightweight, compact and easy to grip. The neck strap is very comfortable. I use mine on the ranch, but I know people who use them for bird watching, so you can zero in on your favorite player and not miss a touchdown.

That depends..... I would not risk it. If all you intend to do is highly controlled studio work, with little chance of untoward events, perhaps. I wanted something to use in covering college sports, to get a different angle of view, and am happy. However, I use mine exclusively for micro four-thirds cameras, and it works very well. The suction cup on the bottom of the center post is an extra stabilizing factor, but my big Nikons were too large for me to trust one to this.
