DDoptics Binoculars Kolibri 10x42 Gen. 3 green (63926)

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

The third generation introduces a refreshed design with a slim bridge and improved optics. All moving components—including the diopter adjustment, focusing wheel, and eyecups—are now made from robust lightweight metal, increasing durability. The eyecups also feature a Z-lock mechanism for secure positioning.

The Kolibri as a versatile all-round binocular
With 10× magnification, these binoculars are ideal for longer distances in daylight and in challenging light conditions. The 4.2 mm exit pupil supports comfortable viewing, while the exceptionally low weight of just 595 g—remarkable for this performance class—ensures fatigue-free use. A wide field of view of 106 m at 1,000 m and a close-focus distance of only 2 m make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from hunting in forests and mountains to observing birds, flowers, and insects.

Improved optics in the new generation
In addition to the new slim-bridge design, the third generation features further enhanced optical performance. Compared to the previous model, overall weight has been reduced by nearly 40 g, improving handling and portability.

Bright and high-contrast image reproduction
Advanced phase correction in the roof-prism system ensures color-accurate, high-contrast images. Stray light is minimal, even when observing the moon or against strong backlighting. The HDX FMC coating, introduced in this generation, delivers excellent brightness and reflection-free sharpness right to the edges of the field of view.

Waterproof, fog-free, and close focusing
The Kolibri uses true internal focusing, allowing sharp focus from just 2 m. A nitrogen filling makes the binoculars fully waterproof and prevents internal fogging, ensuring reliable performance even in heavy rain.

Full field of view for eyeglass wearers
The metal eyecups with Z-lock are retractable and extremely durable, allowing eyeglass wearers to enjoy the full field of view. The easily accessible diopter compensation is located on the right eyepiece for precise individual adjustment.

Recommended use
Thanks to their bright, high-contrast, glare-free image and low weight, these binoculars are well suited for a wide range of hunting applications during the day and at dusk, especially when accurate game identification is required. Their optical quality and sharp detail also provide an immersive experience for hikers, nature lovers, birdwatchers, and insect observers. The short close-focus distance and wide field of view further enhance their versatility.
