Optical Performance
Moderate 8x power magnifies objects while yielding a larger exit pupil and wider field of view compared with higher-power optics for a more comfortable viewing experience
30mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability compared with smaller-objective models without adding excessive bulk or weight
Compact roof prism design ensures slim optical tubes to help maintain a slim form factor
Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission to produce bright and clear high-contrast images
Phase-corrected prisms eliminate internal interference in the light path to improve contrast and resolution
Highly reflective mirror prism coatings limit light loss to keep images bright and sharp
Generous 341' field of view at 1000 yards helps to minimize the appearance of visible hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics
Use and Handling
Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
Large slip center focus wheel allows for precise focus control, even while wearing gloves
Right eye dioptric adjustment collar helps to compensate for individual eye prescription
56-72mm interpupillary adjustment range
Twist-up/click-stop rubber eyecups for use with or without eyewear
15.4mm eye relief helps to reduce eyestrain and improves viewing comfort
3.8mm exit pupil
Construction Details
Environmentally friendly Eco-Glass is made without lead or arsenic
Lightweight and durable fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate chassis
Chassis material is temperature resistant, preventing the expansion and contraction that is common with metal, which can cause the optical components to move out of alignment over time and prevent sharp focus
Textured black rubber armoring protects against bumps and impacts while providing a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather
Textured, ergonomically placed palm pads improve grip stability and comfort
Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and submersible to 3.3' (1m) for up to 10 minutes and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
One-piece tethered ocular rainguard protects eyecups from water pooling in them from rain or spraying water when binocular is hanging from the neck
Objective lens caps can be clipped to neck strap to avoid losing them during observation sessions
