DDoptics Binoculars Ultralight 10x42 (51209)

Ultralight Binoculars – Versatile Hiking and Stalk Hunting Optics

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 high-performing, these binoculars combine practicality with strong optical capability. Naturally, the Ultralight models are both waterproof and highly durable. Despite their rugged construction, they are also visually appealing. The open-bridge design encourages a firm, secure grip and provides excellent handling and comfort during extended use.

The prisms and lenses of the Ultralight binoculars with 42 mm objective diameter feature advanced phase and dielectric coatings. This results in a bright, pleasant image. When the binoculars are no longer needed, they can be easily slipped into a jacket pocket. With a weight of just under 650 grams, the Ultralight binoculars are ideal for carrying all day. One of their greatest advantages is that they are always enjoyable to have with you.

Ideal for Outdoor Travel and Birdwatching, Even as Light Fades

Whether in the mountains or by the North Sea, in temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius or in desert conditions, the waterproof and nitrogen-filled Ultralight binoculars perform reliably. They deliver a consistently clear image and remain dependable companions up to twilight, helping you find your way and revealing small details you might otherwise miss. The Ultralight series is now even better suited for twilight and low-light use, thanks to a larger objective opening and noticeably improved light transmission.

Excellent Value for Money

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

Durable Construction for Demanding Outdoor Use

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

Precise and Smooth Mechanics

The focusing wheel operates smoothly and without play, offering a perfect balance between firmness and ease of movement. Fine adjustments are precise and intuitive, making it easy to find the exact point of sharpness. The diopter adjustment, located beneath the right eyepiece, is clearly marked and precisely adjustable. The eyecups feature four click-stop positions, allowing both glasses wearers and non-glasses wearers to achieve the most comfortable and accurate viewing distance.
