Overview
The Vanguard VEO HD2 10x42 Binoculars are premium binoculars for serious birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who demand exceptional optical performance in a lightweight, durable package. These versatile 10x42 binoculars feature extra-low dispersion ED glass and BAK4 prisms with phase-corrected coatings to virtually eliminate chromatic aberration, delivering true colour fidelity and enhanced contrast across the wide 65° apparent field of view. The open-bridge carbon composite housing reduces weight to just 710g without sacrificing strength, while Mitsubishi rubber armour and thumb indents provide a secure, non-slip grip. Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, they are fully waterproof and fogproof for reliable performance in any conditions. A large textured focus wheel, locking diopter, 19mm eye relief, and tripod-compatible socket ensure comfortable, precise viewing for eyeglass wearers and non-wearers alike.
Key Features:
- Extra-low dispersion ED glass – Premium ED glass lens elements reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased contrast, improved colour rendition, and sharpness without distortion across the entire field of view.
- Phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms – BAK4 prism glass with phase-corrected coatings reduces internal interference to improve contrast, clarity, and resolution for crisp, clear images.
- Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics – Advanced multicoating on all optical surfaces maximises light transmission to ensure views are bright and clear in all conditions, with excellent low-light performance.
- Wide 65° apparent field of view – An expansive 6.5° actual angle and 65° apparent field of view provide an immersive observational experience while minimising distracting hand-shake.
- Waterproof exterior lens membrane – A scratch-resistant, oil-resistant exterior lens membrane allows oils to be cleaned off without leaving residue, keeping your optics clear.
- Lightweight carbon composite housing – The open-bridge carbon composite construction reduces weight to just 710g without sacrificing strength or stability, making these binoculars comfortable for all-day carry.
- Nitrogen-filled waterproof and fogproof – O-ring sealed and nitrogen filled for waterproof and fogproof performance, these binoculars perform reliably when moving through extreme temperature and environmental changes.
- Locking diopter and large focus wheel – A large slip-resistant centre focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold or wet conditions, while the locking right-eye diopter ensures your correction stays set.
- Comfortable 19mm eye relief – Long 19mm eye relief with twist-up rubber eyecups provides comfortable viewing for eyeglass wearers and non-wearers alike, reducing eye strain during extended use.
- Complete accessory package – Includes tethered flip-down objective lens caps, a one-piece ocular rainguard for fast reaction to glassing opportunities, a soft carrying pouch, and a neck strap.
