Vortex Optics Viper HD Roof Prism Binoculars 10x42

Product Information

All air to glass surfaces in the Vortex Viper HD are fully multi-coated with Vortex’s proprietary XR anti-reflective lens coatings, improving light transmission, contrast and resolution. The optical system features phase corrected and dielectric coatings on the prism surfaces that further enhance light transmission across the visible spectrum, and improve contrast, colour fidelity and resolution. At the objective end Vortex have used special High Density (HD) extra low dispersion glass elements to reduce the degrading effect of chromatic aberration (colour fringing). Lenses are susceptible to moisture, and if water gets trapped inside them, you’ll have to open and clean them thoroughly. In 2011 that series was modernized and its successors were called the Viper HD line; one of them we have tested and praised it a lot – we mean here the 10x42 instrument .

While talking about the figures, how can we ignore the 60 million U.S. citizens who hold birdwatching as a dear hobby? Yes, despite being a lesser-popular hobby now, birding will become one of the favourite hobbies/passions soon. You must’ve heard the buzz about ecotourism, no? They can all be adapted to a tripod, monopod, hide or window clamp and, and are the first choice for many nature enthusiasts around the world. It all adds up to a fabulous viewing experience that hovers very close to the upper echelons of optical excellence. The view may not be quite on a par with top-end binoculars from leading European manufacturers… but compared side-by-side the Vipers come surprisingly close at a fraction of the price.

Binoculars review

However for the vast majority of people, including most eye-glass wearers, this should still be more than enough to ensure you get the full view. Again, Vortex Viper has the upper hand in the lens coating category. Its anti-reflective coating produces bright yet clear imagery. For concerts (and other fuzzy events), a binocular should have a smooth zoom, high magnification, and excellent grip. To relieve you from the stress of getting excellent binoculars for a dear-to-your-heart activity, here is an elaborated comparison of Nikon Monarch 7 and Vortex Viper HD binoculars. The notable increase of field of view is connected to new eyepieces which optical design is certainly more complex than the design of eyepieces of the predecessor. We don't know how the prism and objective lens construction has changed but, judging by the fact that the length of the binoculars increased from 146 to 168 mm so quite a lot, we can assume that there have been changes and there are more glass elements inside.

The field of view on the 10x42 Vortex Viper binocular is 319ft wide when you measure at a distance of 1000 yards away. From the tough rubber coating to the broad and easy to reach focus adjuster, it’s clear these are the kind of class act we’ve come to expect from Vortex. The Viper HD binoculars contain the company’s HD optics, which are multicoated for better light transmission and extra-low dispersion to correct for colored fringing - something especially important in the high-contrast views you get of the Moon, for example. The roof prism is a Bak-4 design, with phase correction coatings to really boost that contrast. Despite being lightweight, holding binoculars up to the sky for long periods can be tiring, so there's a tripod mount provided, though you’ll need to buy an adapter separately.

Comparisons Vortex Razor HD but I already saw on the forum birder's advice to get the Nikon HG instead of the Razor HD.

HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass delivers impressive resolution and colour fidelity, resulting in High Definition images. Now I will admit this is a small feature, but it is for me always a really good indicator of quality:

Twist up and down to precise, intermediate settings to maximize custom fit for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. The rubber armour affords a secure grip, even when wet, and the twist-up eye cups adjust to offer just the right amount of eye-relief for different users with or without glasses. There are four possible stops (fully up, fully down with two intermediary steps in between), offering a maximum eye relied of 16.5 mm, which should be more than adequate to give a full field of view to most glasses wearers. They twist into position smoothly, with a satisfying “clunk” that suggests they won’t slip unintentionally once set.
