DDoptics Binoculars Ultralight 12x50 (51211)

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 strong optical capability with everyday practicality. Naturally, the Ultralight models are waterproof and highly durable. Despite their rugged build, they are also visually appealing. The open-bridge design invites a firm, secure grip and provides excellent handling and comfort during use.

The prisms and lenses of the Ultralight binoculars with 50 mm objective diameter feature advanced phase and dielectric coatings. This ensures a bright, clear, and pleasant image. When the binoculars are no longer needed, they can be easily stored in a jacket pocket. With a weight of under 800 grams, they are comfortable to carry throughout the day. One of their greatest advantages is that they are simply enjoyable to have with you.

Ideal for Outdoor Travel and Birdwatching, Even in Fading Light

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 good image and remain dependable companions up to twilight, helping you stay oriented and revealing details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Thanks to the larger objective lenses and noticeably improved light transmission, the Ultralight series is well suited for twilight and low-light observation.

Excellent Value for Money

With the Ultralight series, DDoptics offers optics that deliver everything one expects from a compact yet powerful binocular. In this price range, open-bridge designs are extremely rare, making the Ultralight models particularly appealing.

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 hinge area, are manufactured from durable metal alloys to ensure long-term reliability.

Smooth and Precise Mechanics

The focusing wheel operates smoothly and without play, offering the ideal balance between firmness and ease of movement. Fine adjustments are precise and intuitive, making it easy to reach 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 eye distance.
