Be ready to experience superior viewing with the 8x32 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular. This high-performance binocular is designed to deliver exceptional resolution, outstanding color fidelity, and edge-to-edge sharpness, thanks to its HD Optical System optimized with select glass elements. The Diamondback HD binocular is not just about performance, but also about durability and convenience. Its rugged construction is shockproof and can withstand recoil and impact, making it a reliable companion for your outdoor adventures. The binocular is also waterproof, with O-ring seals that prevent moisture, dust, and debris from penetrating, ensuring reliable performance in all environments. The binocular features a fully multi-coated lens that increases light transmission by reducing reflection on all air-to-glass surfaces. The dielectric coating on the multi-layer prism ensures bright, clear, and color-accurate images. The exterior lenses are protected by an ArmorTek ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating that shields against scratches, oil, and dirt. The Roof Prism design adds to the durability and compact size of the binocular. The magnesium chassis decreases weight while increasing strength, making it easy to carry around. For your convenience, the binocular comes with adjustable eyecups that twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. The center focus wheel adjusts the focus of both binocular barrels at the same time, while the diopter adjusts for differences in a user's eyes, located on the right eyepiece. This binocular is also tripod adaptable, compatible with a tripod adapter, allowing use on a tripod or car window mount. The bundle includes a telescoping stool/chair and a cleaning cloth, enhancing your viewing experience. With the Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular, you get a rock-solid optic that delivers high-quality viewing, proving that performance can indeed come without a hefty price tag.

Affordable, Nice Clarity, Hard to justify spending anymore money for minimal additional performance. For the size of the Binos I was underwhelmed with the performance but that has little to do with vortex and more to do with this class of Binos in general.

Great for the price

Where can I find Rubber for vortex vipper hd 10×50

vortex vipper hd 10×50

Great product and extremely content with my purchase.

I can see clearly now!

The quality of the optics is second to none. I've tried other optics for scopes and optics, but the difference is simply astounding. Vortex gets my vote every time. Have you ever taken a picture with a lesser quality camera then taken the same picture with a superb camera? I have. The image captured is night and day difference. Vortex is my first go-to always. Furthermore, the support they provide is superb. You can't go wrong with Vortex.

Voters optics rock

Great binos and superior warranty and customer service.

Great glass

Great value, clear glass, easy adjustment knobs, and Vortex has the best warranty around. Field of view is better than expected, weight isn't noticbly different from comparable and more expensive brands.

Great Product

I've relied on the Vortex Optics - Diamondback HD 10x50 binoculars for countless hunts and outdoor excursions across Africa and throughout the USA, and they've consistently delivered outstanding performance. These binoculars are a perfect blend of clarity, durability, and ease of use.

The HD lenses provide incredibly sharp, bright, and clear images, even in low-light conditions like dawn and dusk when game is most active. The 10x magnification combined with a 50mm objective lens strikes an ideal balance, offering excellent detail without sacrificing field of view or brightness.

Despite their powerful optics, the Diamondback HDs are surprisingly lightweight and comfortable to hold for extended periods. The rugged construction means they're built to withstand tough environments-whether it's the dusty plains of Africa or dense forest in the USA. They're also waterproof and fog-proof, giving me confidence in all weather conditions.

The focus mechanism is smooth and precise, allowing quick adjustments when tracking moving game or scanning the landscape. The rubber armor provides a secure grip and extra protection against bumps and drops.

If you're looking for high-quality binoculars that deliver crisp visuals and durable performance, the Vortex Diamondback HD 10x50 is an excellent choice. They're dependable, versatile, and have earned a permanent place in my gear for every outdoor adventure.

I've relied on the Vortex

I purchased the much lauded, expensive Zeiss 8x42. I returned them and bought a pair of Vortex 8x42 for 2/3 less. They are Lighter, Tighter and Brighter! There is a lot of cloud cover this Spring in New England. I think they will be good with their wide angles for a little star gazing. So far, they have been superb looking at the trees and the Atlantic. Where are the striped bass? I hope to see the shore birds swooping down to reveal the bigger fish. I plan some birding too. So far, they are the best binoculars I have ever looked through.

Better than the expensive Binoculars

I was just checking out a tree line about 3-400 yards away and spotted a couple deer. Absolutely clear looked as if they were in my front yard.

Can see clearly for miles. Fast target detection. Almost replaces a spotting scope.

Can see clearly for miles.

Great pair of binoculars! The glass is extremely clear and the use of them is very easy. The price was great and the warranty that Vortex provides is really what lures me to their products! Very happy!

Great pair of Binoculars

They're everything I expected, plus you can't beat their warranty!

They're everything I expected, plus

I hope everyone at Vortex is healthy and happily employed!


I purchased the Diamondback HD 8x42 binocular SKU DB-214 last September at the CT Bridgeport Bass Pro - Cabelas store, what I consider an 'investment' buy - as in - a binocular kit FOR LIFE.

And I was not disappointed. I already own a dozen binoculars, large 7 to 10x50s, zoom models, intermedate 8x40s, and car glove-box duty 8x25 pieces. All decent stuff, until the Diamondback bit. . .


Construction:
Very HEAVY for it's size and magnfication class. All adjustments required actual effort, and stayed put until I needed to adjust again. Not a flimsy piece of material anywhere to be found.

The ocular shades click between different settings, for regular users and those wearing eye/sunglasses. All lens movement is internalized inside the twin barrels, as in, no external bridge holding the optics to the objective lenses to bend or crush.


The VIEWWWW:
Stunning, both by day and by night. Bright and crystal clear, I forgot I was looking through them until I lowered them to my chest via the included strap.


The Accessories:
Handy carry bag, although the neck strap took me no less than 45min. to feed through the various openings to attach it to the carry bag. Lens caps stay with the binocular, but hang out of the way if you take the time to attach them correctly. Quality-feel dust cloth for wiping lenses.


Overall:
As I previously referred to these as an investment, they are a big step for me into the mid-upper end scale of sports & rec. optics. Approaches Swarovski caliber without the stratospheric price, but still head and shoulders above familiar brands (Canon, Bushnell, Nikon, etc. )

A general statement about binoculars, regardless of one's price point or preferred brands: Among the inventory at the store I purchased the Diamondbacks, I noticed only 3 binoculars with a magnification less than 10X, including this model that I bought. All others were 10X, 12X, or higher, even glove-box sized models with only 20-25mm objective lenses.

I realize that people nowadays are of the 'more is better' mentality about just every facet in life: louder speakers, brighter TVs, more air in their tires. And, higher magnefication in binocs and other optics. Not always the case.

I find the best experiences with hand-held optics to be at magnification factors of 7 up to 10x, max. Binoculars of 11X and up can be appreciated only via a tripod or other support structure. It just gets too shakey over 10x for practical observing purposes.

Please continue to offer binoculars with sensible magnfications, such as 7x to 10x, for us vintage users! 

And thanks for producing such high quality products.

My First Foray into Higher-End Binocular Segment

They are very clear and draw. A lot of light seem to be great for the price.

Great but Knox

These binoculars have very clear glass, are easy to focus and are a compact size for the power. Great for nature watching while on a hike or just looking out your back door. Comes with usual neck strap and lens covers but also comes with a nice case to help protect when not in use. Would recommend to anyone looking for a pair of binoculars on the compact size end with a good amount of magnification.

Great binoculars.

I've used Vortex for years and years. I use them on backcountry elk hunts and they always stand up to the challenge.

crystal clear

Great product. Have used votex optics for many years hunting and will continue to use them

Vortex

I just returned a pair of Vortex binoculars that my wife purchased for my birthday at least 12 years ago. I had great use from these but about two months ago, I was not able to use them as the right side was completely fogged up and not functional. I contacted Vortex and I was told that Vortex would either fix them or issue me a new pair. 
About two weeks later I was sent a new pair of Diamondback HD 10 X 42 binocular. I love these binoculars and love the company even more. Vortex is true to their warranty. I did not even have to pay for shipping as they sent me a shipping label. You can bet that any future purchases of binoculars or scopes or any product I can use that Vortex offers, I will only purchase from Vortex. Great products and a true lifetime warranty.

Trust Vortex products and unsurpassed warranty.

Was going to purchase a lower end model. . but after looking over the 10x and 8x 42mm diamond back. . I went with the 8-42. . . due to the increased clarity. . .
Nice design. . and the local retailers were a pleasure to deal with. .
I recommend the diamond back

Great binocs

diamond 10x28 are great for hunting and all around use

Great entry level glass. Compared to very expensive friends glass, only difference was the amount of light was less on mine. Little darker for 1st light shooting. Otherwise very clear.

Great entry level glass. Compared

My first replacement for a 15+ year old pair of 16x50 Bushnell I use for bird watching on the lake. Very surprised at how clear it is with good light. Above average at low light. The adjustable eye cups allow me to keep my eyeglasses on which greatly improves image. And despite the the reviews if I remain sitting the shaking is minimal. Great for deer or hog size slow moving animal spotting at 500 yards.

Better than I hoped for

Awesome clarity for the price. I love them

Awesome clarity for the price.

Great product. Well-built, clear glass, and great performance. Great for law enforcement.

Great product. Well-built, clear glass,

Great value. Great glass & magnification. Has to be the clear winner in the category for binoculars under $500. Would recommend.

Great value. Great glass &

I bought these binos a couple years ago for my son. He's an active duty Marine and uses them on the range for qualifying days. He loves them. They get passed around to the other jarheads and put up with a lot of abuse. They aren't swaros, but these are not in that class. Highly recommend!

Great for the price.

Bought these for my daughter. She loves them. Great clarity. Great resolution. If you're looking for 10x glass without breaking the bank, these are a great option.

Great option for the $

I bought these for my youngest daughter. The Diamondback line is very good for the money. Not sure it can be beat in this class and price range. They are perfect on a 3-D archery course. No, they are not Swaro, but they get the job done well for the price. Highly recommend.

Great value!

I bought these a couple years ago to try out 15x binos. I normally use my 10x42 glass, but wanted to try a higher magnification on a tripod. They don't disappoint. I wanted to make sure that I would be ok with them before laying out the big money on Swaro or similar. I never knew what I was missing! NEVER going back. These will be replaced with a much higher class optic, but I'm pretty impressed at their performance at this price point.

Bang for the $!

It's vortex we know they're the best bang for buck glass option there is. Paired with their customer support can't go wrong. Took these on many hunts and spotted elk, deer, oryx. I mean you name it I've used it on them.
