Affiliate Disclosure
How this site earns revenue.
Bino Specs uses affiliate links and displays advertising. This page explains how both work and what they mean for the content you read here.
The Short Version
Bino Specs is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase on Amazon, this site may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
How It Works
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, this site earns a commission from the retailer. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use an affiliate link or navigate to the retailer directly.
Commissions are small and vary by product category. They cover the cost of running this site and keep it free to read without paywalls or subscription fees.
What It Does Not Affect
Affiliate relationships do not determine what gets recommended here. A product is referenced because it fits the situation being described, based on research, direct experience with optics, and documented community feedback. Not because it pays a higher commission.
If a product has a real limitation, that limitation is stated. If a less expensive option performs comparably for a given use case, that gets said too. The point is to help you make a good decision, not to move product.
For more on how editorial decisions are made, see the Editorial Policy.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on this site point to Amazon.com. Any link going to an Amazon product page may generate a commission if a purchase is made. There is no visual difference between affiliate and non-affiliate links. This disclosure applies to all pages and articles on this site, past and present.

Google may use cookies and browsing data to show ads relevant to your interests. To learn more, see Google’s advertising policies. To opt out of personalized ads, visit Google Ad Settings.
