The binoculars feature a removable white light filter that works to make it safe for users to view solar eclipses or sunspots at other times of the year. This makes it possible to use the binoculars like a [traditional set without the filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4x10d-cf) to use them at all times of the year to ensure they're always useful to have around. The Meade EclipseView Binoculars offer up to [10x magnification](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fujinon-technostabi-tsl-binoculars) and are ideal for viewing the upcoming total solar eclipse that's taking place on August 21, 2017. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Safely Viewing Equipment:** Technology that enables the safe viewing of traditionally dangerous natural phenomena, such as solar eclipses. - **Multipurpose Equipment:** Equipment designed with removable filters or attachments that enable its use in various contexts or settings. - **Specialized Magnification:** Equipment tailored for specific and potentially rare events, such as 10x magnification binoculars for viewing total solar eclipses. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Optical Industry:** Developing and manufacturing specialized binoculars, telescopes, and other optical equipment for viewing natural phenomena and celestial bodies. - **Outdoor Industry:** Creating multipurpose outdoor equipment for consumers interested in a range of outdoor activities, including those that involve viewing natural phenomena. - **Event Industry:** Providing specialized equipment such as binoculars and telescopes for use at events with unique natural phenomena, such as concerts or festivals with star-gazing parties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eyewear Eclipse Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warby-parker-solar-eclipse.md) - [Regional Eclipse Guidance Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-app.md) - [Solar Eclipse Voyages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-cruise-voyages.md) - [Digitally Enhanced Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-vision-binoculars.md) - [Community-Based Eclipse Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-eclipse.md) - [Eclipse-Capturing Smartphone Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunsketcher.md) - [Connected Night Vision Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dvx-night-storm-x1.md) - [4K Night-Vision Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightvision-binoculars.md) - [AI-Powered Animal-Identifying Binoculars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solvia-ed-8x32.md)
