Vortex Diamondback HD 15x56
Type:night
Magnification:15 x
Lens diameter:56 mm
Field of view at 1 km:77 m
Focus:central
Prism:Roof, BaK-4
Weight:987 g

Large 15x binoculars designed for field observation, long-range shooting, ornithology, amateur astronomy and other activities that require high image magnification. The main elements of the optical system are 56 mm objective lenses and a prismatic roof-type unit. The use of multilayer coatings (for image brightening, phase correction, elimination of geometric and achromatic aberrations, and protection of lenses from scratches) provides high-quality, clear and bright images with the most accurate color rendition and a high degree of detail.

The sealed and shockproof body of the Vortex Diamondback HD 15x56 binoculars is filled with nitrogen to prevent lens fogging. Considering the high magnification factor of the image, the manufacturer recommends using this optical device together with a tripod (the Vortex Uni-Daptor adapter required for installation on a tripod is included in the kit). The binoculars come with a bag with a proprietary shoulder mounting system.
