Optical Performance
- Powerful 10x magnification brings distant subjects in for close observation and identification across wide open ground
- 42mm objective lenses keep the overall form factor small while offering the low-light performance required for hunting, birding, and observing wildlife when many animals are most active
- Compact roof prism optical path ensures the optical tubes are thin for easier handling
- Proprietary SWAROVISION optical system ensures clear views with rich detail, crisp contrast, and accurate color fidelity
- SWAROCLEAN non-stick coatings make cleaning dirt, dust, sap, moisture, and fingerprints from lens surfaces easy and fast
- Wide 60° apparent angle of view presents an immersive observational experience while minimizing the appearance of the distracting hand-shake that is common with high-power optics
- Spacious 336-foot field of view at 1000 yards
SWAROVISION Details
- Fluoride glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration for improved color rendition, resolution, and contrast
- Field-flattener lenses improve edge sharpness and lower the distortion
- Phase-correcting coatings further improve color and contrast
- SWARODUR outer coating on optics helps to prevent scratches and abrasions
- SWAROBRIGHT coatings provide enhanced contrast, brightness, and color fidelity
- SWAROTOP coatings on lenses and prisms reduce light reflection to improve brightness and contrast
Use and Handling
- Open-bridge, dual-hinge configuration provides additional gripping surface area for better handling
- Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or while wearing gloves
- Rapid focusing mechanism allows you to transition from near and far subjects with a quick movement
- ±5 right-eye dioptric correction range enables users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for tack-sharp images
- Diopter adjustment integrated into the focusing knob locks into the setting and prevents accidental adjustment
- Hypoallergenic twist-up eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Wide 56-74mm inter-pupillary adjustment range allows easy use for a wide variety of people
- Exceptional 20mm eye relief ensures comfortable use with reduced eye strain, especially during long glassing sessions
- 4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light to ensure the entire scene stays in view without vignetting
Construction
- Bridge design helps to reduce overall weight without sacrificing strength or stability
- Lightweight and durable magnesium-alloy chassis
- Green rubber armor protects against drops and impacts while providing slip-resistant grip
- Wraparound grips and ergonomic thumb rests for comfortable long-duration observation
- Nitrogen filled for fog-proof performance, especially when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
- O-ring sealed to be submersible to 13'
- Tethered objective lens covers and soft rubber ocular rain-guard reduce risk of loss
- Broad -13 to 131°F operating temperature range
- Weighs 29.6 ounces
