Binocular Suggestions Needed

[Phantom_Reaper]

I am considering buying some binoculars to keep on hand as a safety measure in case my drone crashes, flies off, or I lose sight of it. Currently I am practicing flying on a school football and track field when it is not in use. I don't think I need binoculars that are super expensive or fancy, but I would like a pair that are of decent quality and would work well for keeping an eye on or locating my drone as well as be useful for other purposes like general sight seeing or vacation travel. This is the pair that I am considering, but I am open to suggestions on alternatives:

Binoculars are great for sightseeing, but I'd suggest a drone locator system like Marco Polo to locate a downed bird. No subscription needed, and has a detection range of up to two miles. It is simple, lightweight, and easy to use.

I never fly without mine attached to my drone.

I quickly looked at all of your posts,
What are you flying?

I lost a P2V+ ($1400) July 2015. 40+ man hours, a lot of fuel to get to this location.

If I had a Marco Polo then, I would have located it within an hour. Retrieving it, still don't know.
Some of the timber as we call old growth, Doug Fir about 300' Over 100 years old.

Never again!

I have many more missions, the start and end is where I flew from that day, its going to be in that area of same elevation, past the paved road.

This start location, is really the only place that I can watch it.
60% of the flight my wife can't see it with binoculars, I tell her where it is via the mission.

Its really scary every time I chose run the mission.

The Litchi mission is in the details.
