DDoptics Binoculars Lux-HR Pocket ED 10x25 (63918)

Compact microbridge design for maximum ergonomics
The binoculars in the Lux-HR series are exceptionally compact thanks to their innovative microbridge construction. In fact, they are smaller than some smartphones and fit easily into almost any jacket pocket. Despite their compact size, they significantly undercut the typical weight of binoculars in the 42 mm class. The combination of an ultra-light yet robust design—with a housing made from durable magnesium and a focusing wheel crafted from high-quality aluminium—keeps overall weight to a minimum without compromising strength.

Durable, secure, and comfortable handling
A specially developed soft-touch rubber armoring with a finely textured surface ensures excellent grip and slip resistance, even in humid conditions. An ergonomically shaped recess in the bridge provides a natural finger rest for comfortable handling. The slim, compact form allows effortless observation over long periods. The adjustable eyecups are made from a high-strength metal alloy, and their rubber coating offers additional protection for the eyepieces during demanding outdoor use. The binoculars are fully waterproof and reliably protected against internal condensation.

A standout feature: field-flattener eyepieces
These binoculars are equipped with field-flattener lenses, a rare feature in this price category. Field flatteners compensate for image curvature, producing an almost completely flat image. Lines and shapes that would normally appear curved are rendered straight, ensuring sharp detail and fine structure right to the edge of the field of view.

The field-flattener lenses are treated with DDlucid coating, an advanced evolution of classic extra-low reflection coatings. This is one of the most effective binocular coatings currently available. The Schmidt–Pechan roof prisms are phase-coated and combined with dielectric mirrors, delivering high color saturation, strong contrast, and maximum brightness. The ED apochromatic glass reduces color fringing in backlit situations and ensures clean, precise contours.
