Abstract: The binocular system 100 includes monoculars 10, 20 in pairs and a coupling portion 30 coupling the monoculars 10, 20 in pairs, wherein: one monocular 10 has a connecting portion 11 on a side of an objective lens 13 thereof; the other monocular 20 has a connected portion 22 connectable to the connecting portion 11 on a side of an eye lens 24 thereof; the coupling portion 30 includes a first coupling portion 31 formed integrally with the one monocular 10, a second coupling portion 32 formed integrally with the other monocular 20, and a hinge portion 33 coupling the first coupling portion 31 and the second coupling portion 32 in such a manner that a mutual bending angle therebetween is adjustable centering around a bending axis B; and the one monocular 10 and the other monocular 20 are detachable from each other.

Abstract: The objective of the invention is to provide a field scope with a digital video camera for observing an object both by eye and on the monitor, losing such advantages of field scopes as having a large aperture, a light weight and a small size. The field scope with a digital video camera comprises an observation optical system having an objective optical system and an ocular optical system; beam-splitting means for taking a part of a light beam advancing along the light path of said observation optical system out from said light path, and guiding the rest of the light beam to said ocular optical system; and an image pickup unit for receiving the separated light beam.
