Screen-free compact camera arrives for hikers with a smart binoculars trick

The Portal ADN7 is a new screen-free compact camera from Nocs Provisions, a company known for its outdoor gear and binoculars, rather than cameras. This lightweight and weather-sealed 140g camera, with a 16MP 1/3.06-inch CMOS sensor, shoots 4K video and features a fixed-focus 28mm wide-angle lens. The Portal ADN7 can be attached to Nocs-made binoculars and monoculars using the NocDoc accessory, allowing users to capture close-up imagery from long distances.

Although it doesn't have a traditional LCD screen, the camera features a digital viewfinder, through-the-lens preview, and built-in digital filters for a film-style look. The camera’s ergonomic design, rubberized armor, and integrated grip make it perfect for hiking, with a full day's battery life and a 4GB card. Available in three colors, the Portal ADN7 is priced at $179.95 and can be purchased directly from Nocs Provisions.
