High contrast, brilliant and pin-sharp

The optical values of the Noctivid combine the highlights of the most proven and state-of-the-art technologies. Thanks to the Schott HT™ high transmission glass for the binocular prisms already utilized in the Ultravid HD-Plus optics, the Noctivid also features maximum transmission and astoundingly natural colours.

Sophisticated combination

The latest optical calculations in sophisticated combination with state-of-the-art baffles and premium glass materials ensure image plasticity almost like in 3-D. Thanks to superior contrasts and uncompromisingly large depth of field, fast focussing, wide eye relief and generous eyepieces, you will experience a new way of viewing..

Rugged and resilient

The non-slip rubber armouring guarantees a comfortable feel, perfect grip and secure handling as well as maximum resilience to impact. A highly durable patented special varnish provides additional protection for the metal surfaces of the magnesium housing. The weight of the binoculars is perfectly balanced so that they lie in direct extension to the wrist. This allows long and relaxed viewing. The easy grip of the binoculars’ tubes with one hand offers the user the unexpected freedom of holding an umbrella or a walking stick – you always have one hand free.

Optical Performance

Moderate 8x power magnifies views while helping to maintain a wide exit pupil and long eye relief
42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into dense brush
SCHOTT HT (High Transmission) glass and 12 lens elements ensure accurate color rendition with limited distortion
Multi-layer high-temperature plasma anti-reflection lens coating deposition process ensures balanced light transmission across the entire visible spectrum
P40 phase-correcting prism coatings increase light transmission while improving contrast and clarity
HighLux-System (HLS) maximizes light throughput to improve color rendition and contrast
Internal baffle system reduces scattered light, which can interfere with contrast, color, and clarity
Hydrophobic AquaDura coatings on external optical surfaces allow dirt, dust, and fingerprints to be removed easily
Lens design and integrated field flatteners reduce spherical aberration and distortion across the entire field of view for edge-to-edge sharpness
Wide 62° apparent angle of view produces a spacious view and an immersive observational experience
Generous 406' field of view at 1000 yards

Use and Handling

Open-bridge / dual-hinge configuration provides additional gripping surface area for better handling
Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, or while wearing gloves
56-74mm adjustable interpupillary distance allows easy use for a wide variety of people
±4 right-eye dioptric correction range enables users to compensate for individual optical prescriptions for tack-sharp images
Twist-out 4-position click-stop eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
Long 19mm eye relief ensures comfortable use with reduced eye strain, especially during long glassing sessions
Wide 5.2mm exit pupil will completely cover pupils when they are open and fully dilated in low light to ensure the entire scene stays in view without vignetting
