Choosing binoculars

Tell me, it’s a difficult choice, I’m thinking of buying a regular one or some kind of smart one, although I’ve never used one.

If I were you, I would choose the second option, since you need to use modern technologies and thermal imaging binoculars are no exception https://www.atneu.com/thermal-binoculars. I was given one of these and I wanted to buy one as a gift. Overall it does a great job and holds a charge for a very long time. There's even a rangefinder! Cool solution!
