Featuring powerful magnification and a generous objective lens for a bright view even in low light conditions, the 12x50 Diamondback HD Binoculars from Vortex are a versatile optic suited to a wide range of uses. They can be mounted on a tripod with a separately sold adapter, and come with a Vortex GlassPak harness for comfortable use during hours of observation.
The Diamondback HD renders views with minimal chromatic aberration, exceptional color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and optimal light transmission through the use of ultrahigh-definition glass, an index-matched lens configuration, XR Plus lens coatings, and dielectric-coated, phase-correcting roof prisms. The lenses are protected from scratches, oil, and dust by ArmorTek exterior lens coating.
The housing is argon-filled and sealed with O-rings to ensure reliable and durable protection against dust, debris, fog, and water. The binoculars are rubber armored for nonslip and durable protection and equipped with a large focusing knob that is easy to use even while wearing gloves. Twist-up eyecups accommodate users who wear glasses, and the binoculars are naturally contoured to perfectly fit your hands, promoting comfort and eliminating user fatigue.
