Vortex Optics 10x50 Diamondback Series Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular with 5.4 Degree Angle of View

My initial review is this... the clarity of the glass is outstanding! Look and the feel is nice. I bought the shoulder harness at the same time and it carries them well. My only negative is the interpupillary distance. For me I have to have them folded all the way in and still pick up a shadow here and there. It’s almost as if it could use a little work there. With them being folded all the way up, they’re not quite as comfortable in your hands. If you could fold them open a little more it would be so much better. This is the only reason they don’t get 5 stars.

I bought a pair of Diamond Back Classic10x50 binoculars on sale at Bass Pro Shops for $150, awesome deal, and compared them side by side with my buddies Leupold 8x42 that he paid over $500 for and you can't tell any difference between the two except mine are more powerful. We compared them in different light conditions...no difference. I could tell by the look on his face that he was impressed and a little sick at the same time. I also just recently sighted in my Diamondback HD 4x16x42mm Dead Hold BDC scope that I mounted on a Savage .300 win mag. I'm equally impressed with it. I'm ready to try both of them in the mountains of Colo. this fall, hopefully to spot a bull with the binos and put the crosshairs on him with my scope. Way to go Vortex, you have a new customer for life!

I got 10x50 Diamondbacks a few years . I absolutely love them. I upgraded to 12x50 Viper HDs recently. The Vipers are awesome, but I was surprised how close the old Diamondbacks came at a much lower price. One thing I've loved about the Diamondbacks has been the long eye relief. I've never had to take my prescription glasses off to use them. They've been on elk, deer, antelope, bear and coyote hunts (and a lot of scouting trips and they still perform flawlessly. Great product!

The Diamondback 10x50 binoculars have performed phenomenally, especially considering their reasonable price. They are very durable and have not disappointed me in any way. It's also incredibly comforting knowing that if anything should ever happen to my binoculars the VIP warranty will cover it. Overall I'm very pleased with these binoculars and they've made my entire family true Vortex fans.

Had these for over a year, paid just $130. I leave them in my pickup all the time and I don't worry about beating them up at that price. Not great but good enough for price.

I bought these awhile ago for my dad he says he loves them in every way. Perfect magnification and weight. The only problem is that the lense covers always falling off because they aren’t attached. Other than that great product Vortex. You’ve made me really happy.

I have had these for almost 8years, and only after last season I had a eyepiece start coming loose. This pair has been used hard all 8 yr. They have been in temperatures between -50 to 100+, I have drop them in rivers in Alaska. They are used hard daily from September to December. Had a pair of high end glass from Europe to compare them with I couldn’t tell the difference in lowlight or the heat of the day. Also for the price, weight, VIP Warranty how can you beat using vortex. The warranty process is easy. Fill the form out and send it in.

I have owned the Diamondback 10x50 for about 2 years. I was drawn by the VIP Warranty and customer reviews. I can say that these are simply the best value you could ask for in a mid range hunting bino. I use these primarily in the south Texas brush deer and hog hunting and there isn’t much more I could ask for in clarity and performance. My kids got ahold of them and broke off one of the eyepieces. True to their word, Vortex accepted the binos and repaired them, no questions asked and free of charge. I have recommended their products to others because they have proven themselves through their quality of craftsmanship and VIP Warranty.

After I bought my first pair, that I like very much, I found my second pair on sale and decided I needed them, now my grandson and I each have a pair. Very clear looking thru them. Had an issue with them, sent them back to vortex, and they fixed them no questions asked and they operate smoother than when I first bought. Don't plan on owning any other brand than vortex.

I bought these binos for my wife last year.we regularly visit Yellowstone to watch wildlife and spend tons of time in the mountains scouting. These deliver excellent clarity in low and high light situations, easily adjust for each of our vision needs, and regularly impress anyone who borrows them.

I bought these as a little step up from the cheap binos I was trying to use hunting the oregon coast. These are a great value. They have held up through terrible weather and have done the job. They let in more light than other binos in the same price point. While I want to upgrade to some razors someday, I will always keep these in my truck

I have used these amazing binos for 3 plus years now and they are the best pair that I have ever owned. I phoneskope through them alll the time and love the images I get and the clarity of them. They give me that added zoom in range that I need to really decide if I want to go after that animal or put the spotting scope on it. You cannot beat this binos for price, effectiveness and quality. When hunting with my wife she will put her other than Vortex binos down and ask for mine because of said qualities.

I love these binoculars. Fantastic clarity, good eye relief & water proof to boot. Can't wait to get out in the wild & put them to good use.
