Vortex® Diamondback HD 10 x 42 Binoculars

The Diamondback binoculars purchase costs defy the price/performance ratio in the global optics market. An incredibly efficient and very powerful optical system with enhanced lenses with dielectric coating offers a sensational image and impressive performance in low lighting - perfect observation of, for example, game hunted or other targets. The Diamondback HD 10 x 42 by the American brand Vortex are a small-sized binoculars of relatively low mass. It has sufficient magnification up to 10 times, a 42 mm and an excellent field of view 110 m / 1,000 m. After composition, it also fits into a small backpack or bags. The Diamondback 10 x 42 bino is an ideal companion for hunters as well as for hiking, it does not add unnecessarily to the weight of the equipment carried, but it does offer the possibility of quality observation even in cold or winter at freezing temperatures.

Great observation thanks to great properties

Roof prisms with multiple dielectric coating and full multi-coat on external glass parts whose surfaces are in contact with air, provide excellent image quality due to extremely high transmissions of light. They thus provide optimal observational results. This state-of-the-art technology guarantees a perfectly clear image with high contrast, sharp contours and natural colour resolution. In addition, the external lenses are a very good protection thanks to ArmorTek from scratching, grease and dirt.

HD optical system

An optimized system with selected glass elements to achieve exceptionally high resolution (high definition), to reduce chromatic aberrations and to provide excellent colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and first-class light transmittance.

Comfortable individual setting

The focus is controlled by a center wheel, so it's central and at one point we focus both sides simultaneously. It is accurate enough and allows to focus even on nearby objects from as close as 1.82 m. On the right eyepiece is a dioptric correction, through which we adapt the image exactly for our eyes. The fact that the bino can be bent at the joint along the centre axis, makes it possible to adjust the distance of the output lenses to the eye spacing. The bino adapts to all members of the family, whether children or adults, with eyes close together or far apart.

Focus Setting Procedure

Specify an object for observation, about 20 yd (about 18.29 m) distant. Stand in one place at all times. First, cover the right lens with your hand and follow the object with your left eye through the left tube. Turn the centre wheel until the focus is satisfactory. Then cover the left lens with your hand and look into the right tube with your right eye. Now turn to adjust the wheel for correction of the dioptres until the focus is correct. Remember or make a note of the setting of the diopter wheel, in case you need to reset it. From now on, you will use only a center wheel to sharpen the image.

Tough even to rough conditions

It's waterproof and shockproof, plus filled with Argon (Argon is much better at protecting the inner parts of the bino from unwanted dew than Nitrogen) and sealed with "o" rings so it doesn't fog up inside. Special treatment by Rubber Armor delivers long life, absorbs shocks and provides protection of the bino from mechanical damage, as well as additional protection against environmental influences. Combined with the rough texture on the sides, it prevents the hand from sliding off, giving the user a perfect, sure and firm grip in the cold and in the heat, in rain or snow, in intense sunlight, whether the bino is wet or frozen, that is, under all conditions and circumstances.

Hermetically sealed

Special sealing technology protects high-end optics from outside influences. No dust, no dirt and no moisture can penetrate the bino and cause damage and/or defects in the supplied image.

With or without glasses, in hand or on stand

An eye rubber cup is retractable and allows the use of binoculars with glasses. The bino can be either held in the hand during observation (for wearing binoculars suspended from the neck, the bino is equipped on both sides with eyelets to secure the supplied strap) or place it on a tripod (for this purpose, the bino is fitted with a tripod adapter slot). It also offers the option of attachment to a car window.

Stored safe

And when we don't use the bino, we store it in the supplied GlassPak, in which it is securely stored and transported. The lenses protect both the lenses and the output lenses. We also find a cleaning towel and a carry strap in the pouch.

Take care of it

When you are not using the bino, put the caps on the lenses and place it in the supplied case. To maintain the bino's brilliant performance, lenses need to be kept clean regularly, removing smudges, impurities, oils or fingerprints. First, always remove coarse impurities (so they don't damage the lens when cleaning) with a fine brush, as specified. Then use your breath to mist the lenses and clean them with a non-abrasive cloth. Never use tissues (either paper or cloth), cotton or flannel fabrics. They could cause scratches, which then spoil the view. Ideally, use a dedicated set, such as Fog Free by Vortex.

Warning: Do not use the binoculars to observe the sun or other sources of intense light. This bino is not designed for this and such surveillance can damage the retina or cornea and in extreme cases may lead to blindness!
