VANGUARD VEO HD2 8X42 BINOCULARS

Vanguard 8x42 Veo HD2 Binoculars

Vanguard Optics' 8x42 Veo HD2 binoculars feature extra low dispersion (ED) glass and BAK4 prisms that work together to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, producing images with true color fidelity across the entire field of view and enhanced contrast. Complementing the glass and prisms are fully multi-coated anti-reflective optics that enhance light transmission for bright, clear images, with increased performance in low light conditions.
An open bridge design and carbon composite shell help balance binoculars and reduce weight without sacrificing strength. The open bridge also provides a large surface to hold for greater stability. Mitsubishi rubber armor and thumb grooves on the bottom of the chassis help provide drop and impact protection and provide a non-slip grip. Engineered to last, the housing is nitrogen-filled and a sealed O-ring for waterproof and anti-fog performance, and the three-stage rotating eyepieces provide custom-fit eye relief for use with or without glasses.
Optical performance
Moderate 8x power widens the view while preserving a wide exit pupil and increased eye relief for improved viewing comfort
42mm lenses enhance low-light capabilities without adding excessive bulk and weight
The compact light path of the ceiling prism ensures that the optical tubes are slim to fit more comfortably in the hand
The BAK4 glass prism offers a round exit pupil and a sharp, clear image with limited edge distortion
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for higher contrast, improved color reproduction, and distortion-free sharpness throughout the field of view
Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution
Fully multilayer anti-glare optical surfaces maximize light transmission to ensure views are bright and clear in all conditions
Water-resistant lens membrane adds scratch resistance and allows oils to wipe clean without leaving residue
The field of view moves closer to the wide angle to present an immersive viewing experience without the need to move your head from side to side to see the entire scene in front of you.
378 feet field of view at 1000 yards
Use and handling
Double hinge / open bridge configuration reduces weight without sacrificing strength or stability
Large non-slip center focus wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions or when wearing gloves
Right eye diopter correction lock allows you to achieve sharp images even if your eyesight is not perfect
Diopter locks to guard against accidental adjustments that can affect your focus
Rotatable rubber eyepieces for comfortable use with or without glasses
Standard 1/4 "-20 socket on the front of the front bridge hinge allows binoculars to be mounted on a tripod with an optional adapter for hands-free use to eliminate vibration and arm fatigue
Long 19mm eye relief features a generous eye box that improves viewing comfort and reduces eye strain
The 5.25mm wide exit pupil will fully cover the pupils as they fully dilate in low light to keep the entire scene in view without vignetting.
