In which a character is looking at something in the distance through binoculars, and the viewer is treated to the POV of that character. Often "enhanced" by matting the screen with a double-circular frame, supposedly emulating the binocular experience. Indeed, this is so common that the more correct matting looks weirder. More recently, this same shot is used with a matte frame and a tint that is reminiscent of looking through a sniper scope. Another variation has the character using extremely fancy binoculars with data overlays; thus transforming this into a variant of Robo Cam. Camcorder viewfinders are also common, for characters shooting video of each other. It is also common for the viewer to first pan over the viewed object or person and then quickly move back onto viewing it. Sometimes the viewer can't believe what they saw, looks at it without the binoculars, then looks back at it through them. Used frequently in The Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky & Hutch, et al. The most common form is silly, since as long as the binoculars are aligned to the user's eyes correctly, the user sees a single circle through the binoculars, not two overlapping circles. Even if two overlapping circles are seen, they indeed mostly overlap rather than appearing side by side. Not to be confused with the Scope Snipe. |

The realistic version, using a telescope, happens several times in Master and Commander, usually Played for Drama. At the start of the movie Midshipman Hollom is panning his glass across a fog bank when he sees a glimpse of a sailing ship in the fog. When he takes a second look however, there's nothing there. When the captain takes a look, he sees the flash of cannonfire and has just enough time to order the crew to hit the deck before they are raked with grapeshot. At one point, Captain Aubrey looks through his glass at the Acheron and sees his French counterpart peering back at him with his own glass. Used for a Mood Whiplash moment when revelry on the HMS Surprise during the night cuts to someone looking at the ship through a glass, showing their enemy has managed to find them again. |

An earlier episode, "Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1", has two. The first is Kate looking through binoculars at an incoming sailboat, and the second is Sayid looking at the now far-less-mysterious Four-Toed statue, both represented by a double-circular black frame. |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: In the first season, a shot of Italy, Germany, and Japan was framed this way when America was spying on them through binoculars. The sniper scope variation was used in season four when Italy took aim at France. |

During the intro scene to Psychonauts we get a goggles variant. It's tinted red at first so we think it's a monster, but it turns out it's this trope. | |

Used twice in Chicken Run when Mr. Tweedy uses his binoculars to spy on Ginger with his suspicions of the chickens being organized, until his wife gets his attention by slamming her fist on her desk. He turn around and sees her scowling eyes close-up. Later, Ginger and Mac use Mr. Tweedy's binoculars to see a large truck delivering a giant crate to the farm. | |

Parodied in the "Dog City" episode of The Jim Henson Hour. From the POV of villain Bugsy Them, we see the two leads through two overlapping circles. Then the camera cuts to a wide shot to reveal that Bugsy isn't looking through binoculars — he's just holding up a piece of cardboard with two overlapping holes and looking through it. | |

In the Pecola episode "Gazelle's Goof", there is a shot shown through Mrs. Bernard's binoculars as she looks around the beach to see how things are going. There are two more when Pecola borrows her binoculars, once when he uses them to look for Golagola and once when he notices Gazelle struggling to stay afloat in the water. | |

In The Bridge on the River Kwai, the team of saboteurs use field glasses to check out details at the bridge. Interestingly, the shot uses only one hole instead of the typical two-hole matte to emulate the binocular vision. | |

Ray's Paragoggles do this in Ghostbusters (1984), with a few extra graphics added at the sides. One problem, though: Most of the standard VHS releases cut out the "binocular" matte and the graphics, but left the beeping noise intact! | |

Even The Amazing Race used this during a challenge in Season 5, Episode 12, in which racers had to identify the Philippine flag through binoculars. It also toyed with it a bit: as one racer looked through the binoculars with the lens cover still on one side, just one circular frame, offset to one side of the screen, was shown. | |

The scanner visor in No Man's Sky functions as a high tech binocular that displays information such as in-planet time, how much time you have left on your hazardous environment shields, distance to your selected waypoint, points of interest such as facilities or resource formations, information about the species or mineral focused on your sight, etc. | |
