The 8x42 Ultralight Binoculars
The universal hiking and stalking binoculars from DDoptics have been available since August 2015 in a brighter 42mm version.
Light, compact, handy, and powerful – that’s how a universal hiking and stalking binocular should be. Of course, the Ultralight binoculars must also be waterproof and robust. Additionally, this small binocular is simply beautiful. Its open bridge invites the hand to firmly grasp the tube, providing grip and comfort. The prisms and lenses of the Ultralight binoculars with a 42mm objective diameter are even coated with a dielectric layer. This ensures a bright and pleasant image. And when you don't need the binoculars for a moment, they quickly disappear into your jacket pocket. The low weight of just 650 grams is never a burden. But the best thing about this binocular is that you'll always enjoy taking it with you.
Perfectly suited for outdoor vacations, even in twilight
Whether in the mountains or by the North Sea, at -15 degrees or 45 degrees in the desert. The waterproof and nitrogen-filled Ultralight can handle it all while still providing a great image. Even in twilight, it helps you find the right path or reveals small hidden details you would never have discovered without your trusted companion. A new feature is the significantly improved suitability of the 8x42 and 10x42 Ultralight for use in twilight and at night. This is due not only to the larger objective opening but also to significantly improved light transmission.
Price-performance at its best!
With the Ultralight 8x42 binoculars, we offer optics that do everything you would expect from such a small powerhouse. An open bridge is hardly ever found in binoculars of this price range.
Rugged design for tough outdoor use
The individual tubes are made of ultra-hard and shatterproof polycarbonate. At critical points, such as the eyecups or the hinge, metal alloys are used.
Precision mechanics
The focus wheel moves smoothly and without play—not too hard, not too soft—and allows precise and effortless fine adjustment to the sharpness point. The diopter adjustment, located below the right eyepiece, is clean and precise. The eyecups offer four clear click stops, allowing both eyeglass wearers and non-eyeglass wearers to set the optimal and most comfortable eye relief.
