Vortex Optics Diamondback HD Binoculars 10x42

Product Information

King size binocular with 12x magnification and 50mm front elements for exceptional all year round use. Unlike other high-end models, the Viper HD binoculars guarantee a premium viewing experience without costing an arm and a leg . HD low-dispersion glass lenses and XR anti-reflective coatings generate stunning bright images and a wide field of view, which are the reasons behind their popularity. Vortex Optics is one of the largest manufacturers of sport optics products and its products are often considered at par with other premium optics brands. While many optics manufacturers originated in Europe, Vortex is headquartered in Wisconsin, United States. Established in 2002, it is also one of the youngest optics brands to become highly successful in the business in a short period of time. The 10×42 and 10×50 models of both the binoculars are waterproof and Argon gas purged which makes them fog proof too. You don’t need to worry about glassing even If you are in humid, cold, or misty weather conditions.

The new HD showed a significantly sharper image, with better brightness, contrast, and resolution. We saw more and better with the new version. Multicoated HD glass lens elements and prisms delivering exceptional resolution and unbeatable colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission for the price. You may need a tripod for 10×50 binoculars to help you with the shakiness and stabilizing extra weight. Pricing During our lifetimes, there have been some major revolutions in the equipment used in the field by birdwatchers and wildlife observers. The performance of affordable binoculars and telescopes has improved exponentially in recent decades, even tripods have become lighter, sturdier and much more practical (especially with carbon fibre models being used). Then there was the dawn of digital cameras, after which every wildlife watcher could now be a photographer (whether via digiscoping, phonescoping, DSLR or bridge cameras and more recently mirrorless systems). Birdwatchers have started becoming bird listeners with high quality digital audio equipment and brilliant apps to match. Firstly, I just want to point out that we are not Vortex but Optics Trade – an online store & a blog. So it's best you direct your opinion to them directly.

Of course, one of the many things we like the most about these binoculars is the all-new and improved viewing experience with the HD optical system. On sunny days, the exceptional edge-to-edge clarity, contrast, resolution, and sharpness are everything that hunters need to make the most out of every minute they spend outdoors. Glassing on cloudier days creates some blurring at the very edges of the view, but this is not at all terrible for binoculars at this price range. In both the binoculars chromatic aberration is a bit lower than medium in the centre, which becomes a bit evident on the edge of the field of view. They can all be adapted to a tripod, monopod, hide or window clamp and, and are the first choice for many nature enthusiasts around the world.These binoculars can endure impact, so you can expect them to last a very long time. Another thing we like about magnesium bodies is that they are lightweight yet heavy-duty, making these binoculars very practical.

And for good reason. The binoculars still have the same rubber-armored magnesium body, size, and shape that experts have come to like about them. It is worth mentioning, however, that Vortex Optics has enhanced the central focus wheel on these binoculars. The knob turns more smoothly with this new model. Vortex Optics, being a family-owned and family-operated business since its humble beginnings in 1986 in Wisconsin, takes pride in putting the needs of its customers first. It began as a small outdoor retail store with a strong focus on offering personalized services. By banking on a customer-centric approach, it grew tremendously over the years. Today, while relatively young, it is one of the most reputable names in the sports optics industry.
