Hello FDev I'm trying to unlock Palin so I'm traveling really far in the Black and along the way I usually stop in planets that nobody sat foot yet and also try to get biological samples as I land in these planets but some times its tough to find the next sample that has enough genetic diversity so it would be nice if we could get a Hi-POWER BINOCULARS for every suit with an extremely good zoom like making something 20km away look as its inside your eyeballs!!! lol also having range finder in it and the ability to do 3D spotting for enemies and set markers like when you point your finger but markers that lasts a good amount of time... also maybe making biological entities glow when you look through the binoculars to facilitate the spotting of the samples!
HI-POWER BINOCULARS

I use the external camera for this sometimes, but the max zoom on that is still a bit too low for proper binoculars.
I would not try flying while looking through the binoculars. Instant recipe for a crash. The magnification would be grater, but the field of view would be smaller.
As already mentioned, you can use the external camera.
I tend to land and then use the external camera from the SRV. Particularly useful for finding bacterium. You can zoom right in, but distance is limited. 250m sphere I think.

Yeah I use the external camera too but for SRV is just 250m and 125 on foot and that's why a binocular as an additional tool for the suits would be cool! sometimes I'm in a very flat planet other times I end up in a very mountainy one then I try to jump on top of my ship to look around but even if I go in the external camera, the draw distance for assets is not great! even for me who runs the game with maximum settings! So Binocular with multiple utilities would be great... just like I said; imagine if you could equip your binoculars the layout could be like the FSS but in the corner instead of showing the distance of what your looking at and the temperature it could be just the distance! then just like in FSS where you regulate the type of planets; with the binoculars you could regulate to spot the samples like adjusting for bacteria or fungus etc... or adjust to pickup live signatures like NPCs or Players for example and as you look around you could get an indicator of what your looking for and then can get a good zoom on the selected target just like FSS. but of course you could just zoom around to make a recon of the land as having a good zoom would increase the draw distance for things that otherwise wouldn't spawn regardless of normal vision or free camera. It doesn't even need to have a massive zoom but like making something 2km away look like its around 50m would be good enough plus the usability of letting you do 3d spotting on Players and NPCs like in old BF games (idk about the new ones) and setting markers like when you point with your finger it would be awesome!!! This along side what @zikolach said could be interesting... 2km x 2km would be good enough instead of a 10x10km tho.
