VORTEX 12X50 DIAMONDBACK HD BINOCULARS DB-217 + PROFESSIONAL CLEANING KIT

Vortex 12x50 Diamondback HD Binoculars
Featuring powerful magnification and a generous objective lens for a bright view even in lower 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 comes 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 ultra-high-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 non-slip and durable protection and are equipped with a large focusing knob that is easy to use even while wearing gloves. Twist-down eyecups accommodate users who wear glasses. Naturally contoured to perfectly fit your hands, promoting comfort and eliminating user fatigue, the Diamondback HD includes a winning combination of features.
