High quality product operating exactly

High quality product operating exactly as described. Well built with clear optical performance. It is rugged, balanced, and feels good in the hand. Eye relief is a strong point and something to consider for a future buyer. Shipping was fast and on time. The lifetime warranty is to not be discounted. If anything is defective Vortex will stand behind their product. There is no embellishment from the marketing. The description is what you expect to receive.

For the price point, I don't think you can find a better set of binos. Perfect for east Texas hunting where you are glassing around 250-300 yards out.

Great binos for the price

These are a great set of binoculars. The lenses are clear and it feels sturdy. You won't be upset buying these. The glasspak is great for hunting and the neck lanyard is very comfortable. The only thing I can say is I wish they included the quick snaps to go between the glasspak and the neck harness.

Great product for the price

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hardware and optics for this price. For most uses I really don't feel like I'm missing much from *much* higher priced binoculars.

Great Deal

Great binos for the price point. I use these for deer, turkey, and archery in AL where seeing for 200 miles isn't all that important.

Very reliable good quality optics. Bought them for a Western Elk hunt. Vortex makes a higher end model than this but found Diamond Back model a great value.

Affordable set of binos

I use these binos while hunting in the woods, or while at home looking at things off of my deck. They are lightweight and easy to use. They come with a nice case to store them in when they are not in use.

Nice Binoculars

I saw a buddy of mine using them over the weekend and decided I need them myself. They don't break the bank and they work as intended. Clear as day, and like the strap , carrying bag And accessories that come with it. A must on the range for anything up to 200

Great Binos

These 10x42 Binoculars deliver outstanding clarity and performance. They provide crisp, bright, and color-accurate images, even in low light conditions. The wide field of view makes it easy to spot and track wildlife. These binoculars are lightweight, featuring a durable rubber armor coating for a secure, non-slip grip. They're also waterproof and fog-proof, perfect for use in any weather. The adjustable eyecups and smooth focus wheel add comfort and precision to the experience. Overall, the Diamondbacks are a premium quality and reliability at a great value.

Great Binos

The Vortex Diamondback line is known for its mid-tier affordability. I would say this fits the bill. Binoculars are like scopes--you can spend a few hundred, or a few thousand--and you have to be realistic about your needs. I purchased these as a lightweight hiking option I could throw into my backpack, and also to use at the range when I didn't pack a magnified optic. It was especially useful for those days where I was using a red dot, shooting out at 100 yds or a little further, but wanted to see my impacts on paper without having to walk out there each time. I know there are much higher end binoculars out there, but I think many of the weekend-tactical community ends up buying something way more expensive than they will ever need for logo cred, and personally the Diamondback HD has done everything I've ever needed it to do. I would highly recommend.

2023 model.

I bought these back a few years ago thru expertvoice. Vortex is definitely in a class of their own. Twice these have taken major spills amd vortex was more than happy to check them out and fix what is broken. These are tough built model. I hunt washington and idaho. I dont have any issues with early morning fogging or dusty lenses. I love the diamondback series.

Vortex Diamondback 12x50 Binoculars

I have loved these binoculars. I have glassed multiple times with these and have loved it each time. Obviously since these are the lower quality binoculars at times at greater distances they can be SLIGHTLY blurry but I mean barely noticeable. The glass is super clear and I will definitely be using these as long as I can. They are great. The harness is honestly comfortable to wear as well. These are great starter binos.

I bought these binoculars about a month and a half ago and I?ve used them several times, and I love them! They are great quality for the price !!

How can you elevate your outdoor viewing experience With the 12x50 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular, you can immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with unparalleled clarity and precision. This high-performance binocular is meticulously engineered to redefine the balance between cost and quality, outperforming its competitors in delivering a superior optical experience.

The Diamondback HD is equipped with an advanced HD Optical System, carefully optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution. This system significantly reduces chromatic aberration and provides outstanding color fidelity, ensuring every view is a vivid spectacle. Experience edge-to-edge sharpness and superior light transmission that brings your surroundings to life.

Each air-to-glass surface of this binocular is fully multi-coated with multiple anti-reflective coatings, significantly enhancing light transmission for brighter, clearer images. The dielectric multi-layer prism coatings further amplify image quality, ensuring bright, clear, and color-accurate visuals.

The exterior lenses are safeguarded by ArmorTek, an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating that protects against scratches, oil, and dirt. This ensures your binoculars maintain their high-quality performance, even in challenging environments. The rugged rubber armor construction offers a secure, non-slip grip and durable external protection, making the Diamondback HD a reliable companion for all your outdoor adventures.

Featuring waterproof construction with O-ring seals, this binocular prevents moisture, dust, and debris from penetrating, ensuring reliable performance in all environments. It's also shockproof, with a rugged construction that withstands recoil and impact. Fogproofing is achieved through Argon gas purging, preventing internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.

The roof prism design adds to the binocular's durability and compact size. Adjustable eyecups twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. The center focus wheel simultaneously adjusts the focus of both binocular barrels, while the diopter adjusts for differences in a user's eyes, located on the right eyepiece.

For added convenience, the binocular is tripod adaptable, compatible with a tripod adapter for use on a tripod or car window mount. The included GlassPak binocular harness keeps your binoculars close at hand, ready to deploy at a moment's notice. It provides protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps.

Whether you're birdwatching, hunting, or observing wildlife, the 12x50 Diamondback HD Waterproof Roof Prism Binocular is your perfect partner, offering high-powered, waterproof, and rugged performance. This bundle also includes a portable telescoping stool/chair and a cleaning cloth, ensuring you're fully equipped for your next outdoor adventure.
