It also offers modern advantages such as textured rubber armor, soft helicoid eyecups, and argon gas purging. The Diamondback series features sculpted contours that fit easily in-hand. This all-purpose binocular is for those who prefer higher magnification for distant objects. Additionally, the 9 foot minimum focus distance enables relatively close-up observation of butterflies and other natural beauties within your field of view. Phase corrected roof prisms render bright images that are color-faithful and rich in detail. Fully multicoated optics transmit contrast-rich images with minimal glare and internal reflection. Argon purged and o-ring sealed housing delivers superior waterproof and fogproof protection from the elements. Close focuses to under 10 feet, excellent for birding and other nature observations. Twist-up multi-position rubber eyecups provide enhanced comfort, especially for eyeglass wearers. Ridged rubber armoring results in superior grip even in wet conditions. Tripod, monopod, and car window-mountable with optional adapter.
