The Noctivid Binoculars utilize SCHOTT High Transmission glass and a 12-element lens configuration with HighLux-System anti-reflection multi-coatings. This, combined with phase-corrected compact roof prisms, results in bright, high-contrast images with accurate color representation across the entire visible spectrum. Internal baffles minimize scattered light in the optical tubes to maintain clarity and contrast. The innovative lens design and internal field flatteners ensure clear images across the entire wide-angle field of view. The wide viewing angle and 10x magnification allow for both sweeping views and detailed observations of distant objects. These features also help reduce disorientation, common with high magnifications on moving platforms.

The Noctivid binoculars feature a unique dual-hinge or open-bridge design that offers increased grip and reduced weight, without compromising durability or stability. The lightweight magnesium alloy chassis, in conjunction with the bridge placement, shifts the center of gravity to the natural hand position, resulting in improved handling and reduced fatigue for extended use. To withstand the demands of outdoor use, all metallic surfaces are coated with a specialized varnish for corrosion and wear resistance, while the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed for fogproof, waterproof, and submersible performance.

Optical Performance
  • High 10x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects
  • 42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into dense brush
  • Compact roof prism optical path helps to maintain a compact form factor for easier handling
  • SCHOTT HT (High Transmission) glass and 12 lens elements ensure accurate color rendition with limited distortion
  • Multi-layer high-temperature plasma anti-reflection lens coating deposition process ensures balanced light transmission across the entire visible spectrum
  • P40 phase-correcting prism coatings increase light transmission while improving contrast and clarity
  • HighLux-System (HLS) maximizes light throughput to improve color rendition and contrast
  • Internal baffle system reduces scattered light, which can interfere with contrast, color, and clarity
  • Hydrophobic AquaDura coatings on external optical surfaces allow dirt, dust, and fingerprints to be removed easily
  • Lens design and integrated field flatteners reduce spherical aberration and distortion across the entire field of view for edge-to-edge sharpness
  • Wide 64° apparent angle of view minimizes the appearance of the distracting hand shake that is common when holding high-power optics, while presenting a spacious and immersive observational experience
  • 103m field of view at 1000 yards
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
  • 56-74mm adjustable interpupillary distance allows easy use for a wide variety of people
  • ±4 right-eye dioptric correction range enables users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for tack-sharp images
  • Twist-out 4-position click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
  • Long 19mm eye relief ensures comfortable use with reduced eye strain, especially during long glassing sessions
  • 4.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils when they open and dilate in low-light to ensure the entire scene stays in view without vignetting
