DDoptics Binoculars Kolibri 8x42 Gen. 3 green (63925)

DDoptics Kolibri Binoculars, Generation 3 (Green) combine affordability, low weight, attractive design, and excellent image quality. These roof-prism binoculars are a popular choice for holidays and hiking trips. Hunters, birdwatchers, and nature enthusiasts especially value their lightweight construction and fast handling at dawn and dusk, along with bright, high-contrast, glare-free images and a generous field of view.

The third generation introduces a refreshed design with a slim bridge and improved optics. All moving components—such as the diopter adjustment, focusing wheel, and eyecups—are now made from robust lightweight metal, and the eyecups feature a Z-lock mechanism. Compared to the previous model, the weight has been reduced by nearly 40 g.

The Kolibri as a versatile all-round binocular
With 8× magnification, these binoculars are ideal for longer distances in daylight and in low-light conditions. The 5.3 mm exit pupil supports relaxed, fatigue-free viewing. At just 615 g, which is exceptional for this performance class, combined with a wide field of view of 126 m at 1,000 m and a close-focus distance of 2.5 m, they are suitable for a wide range of uses—from hunting in forests, fields, and mountains to observing birds, flowers, and insects.

Bright, high-contrast optics
Advanced phase correction of the roof-prism system ensures color-accurate, high-contrast images. Stray light is minimal when viewing the moon or against bright backgrounds. The newly introduced HDX FMC coating delivers impressive brightness and enhanced, reflection-free sharpness right to the edge of the field of view.

Waterproof, fog-free, and close focusing
The Kolibri uses true internal focusing, allowing sharp focus from just 2.5 m. A nitrogen filling makes the binoculars fully waterproof and prevents internal fogging, even in heavy rain.

Full field of view for eyeglass wearers
Retractable metal eyecups with Z-lock enable eyeglass wearers to enjoy the complete field of view. The easily adjustable diopter compensation is located on the right eyepiece for convenient fine tuning.

Recommended use
Thanks to their bright, high-contrast, glare-free image and low weight, these binoculars are well suited for many hunting applications during the day and at dusk, especially for clear game identification. Their optical quality and sharp detail also provide an impressive viewing experience for hikers, nature lovers, and wildlife observers. The short close-focus distance and wide field of view make them particularly popular with birdwatchers and insect observers.
