DDoptics Binoculars Ultralight 8x42 (51208)

Ultralight Binoculars – Versatile Companions for Hiking and Stalk Hunting

The Ultralight binoculars from DDoptics are designed as universal companions for hiking and stalk hunting and are available in a high-luminosity version. Compact, lightweight, easy to handle, and powerful, these binoculars combine practicality with performance. Naturally, the Ultralight models are waterproof and extremely robust. Despite their rugged design, they are also visually appealing. The open-bridge construction invites a secure grip, offering excellent handling and comfort during use.

The prisms and lenses of the Ultralight binoculars with 42 mm objective diameter feature advanced dielectric and phase coatings. This ensures a bright, pleasant image. When not in use, the binoculars can easily be stowed in a jacket pocket. With a weight of only around 650 grams, they are ideal for carrying all day. One of their greatest strengths is that you will always want to have them with you.

Ideal for Outdoor Travel and Birdwatching, Even in Low Light

Whether in the mountains or by the North Sea, in freezing temperatures down to minus 15 degrees Celsius or in desert heat, the waterproof and nitrogen-filled Ultralight binoculars perform reliably. They deliver a clear image and remain dependable companions up to twilight, helping you find your way and revealing details that would otherwise go unnoticed. Thanks to the larger objective lenses and noticeably improved light transmission, the Ultralight series is now even better suited for use during twilight and in low-light conditions.

Excellent Price-to-Performance Ratio

With the Ultralight series, DDoptics offers binoculars that deliver everything expected from a compact, lightweight model. In this price range, open-bridge designs are extremely rare, making the Ultralight binoculars particularly attractive.

Durable Construction for Demanding Outdoor Use

The binocular housing is made from ultra-hard, break-resistant polycarbonate. All critical components, such as the eyecups and the hinge area, are manufactured from robust metal alloys to ensure long-term durability.

Precise and Smooth Mechanics

The focusing wheel operates smoothly and without play, offering the perfect balance between firmness and ease of movement. Fine adjustments are precise and effortless. The diopter adjustment, located beneath the right eyepiece, is clearly marked and easy to set. The eyecups feature four click-stop positions, allowing both glasses wearers and non-glasses wearers to find the optimal and most comfortable eye distance.
