The PROTOBIRD 10x42 HD Binoculars are designed for birders, wildlife watchers and hikers who want serious optical performance without the serious price tag. With 10x magnification and a 42mm objective lens, they deliver crisp, bright images with true colour — whether you're tracking a bird across a reed bed or scanning a hillside at dusk.
Our Protobird binoculars are not only lightweight and compact for extended viewing time, but also comfortable to hold with their ergonomic design and padded neck strap. They also come complete with a premium padded protective case and carrying strap to ensure they don’t weigh you down when camping, hiking, hunting, sightseeing, bird watching & wildlife watching.
Unlike many others available to purchase, our Protobird Binoculars are designed to withstand extreme outdoor elements; being waterproof to IPX7, fog proof via nitrogen-purging, shockproof and dustproof. Additionally, the optics are equipped with superior BAK-4 prisms and multilayer coated lenses which deliver exceptional depth, stunning colour and superb edge to edge clarity.
With a fantastic Field of View of 279ft@1000yds and a larger than standard eye piece diameter assisted by effortless, smooth and precise focusing, with twist up eye cups for attaining the perfect eye relief, the opportunities to capture nature at its best, are incredible.
