Diamondback HD Roof Prism Binoculars
The Diamondback HD smashes the scale of price vs performance, delivering a rock-solid optic that optically punches high above its class.
Adjust Eyecups & IPD
The eyecups on the Diamondback HD binocular twist up and down so any viewer can see the full field and enjoy comfortable viewing—with or without eyeglasses. When not using eyeglasses or sunglasses, keep the eyecups fully extended. For the best viewing when wearing glasses, twist eyecups down.
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of your left and right pupils. Match the IPD of your eyes and your binocular by rotating the barrels in or out until you see a single image free of shading.
Focus Your Binocular
Use the center focus and diopter to adjust for vision differences in each eye. Choose an object about 20 yards away and perform this two-step process:
- Close your right eye or cover the right objective lens with your hand. Look at the object with your left eye and adjust the center focus dial until the image is in focus.
- Close your left eye or cover the left objective lens with your hand and rotate the ring until the object is in focus.
Neck Strap
Attach the padded neck strap in these three simple steps.
- Push a few inches of the strap through the strap attachment on the binocular.
- Hold the buckle and thread the end of the strap through the buckle.
- Adjust the overall length, then pull tight until strap secured within the buckle.
Lens Care
In order to enjoy the best views through your binocular, take time to regularly clean the exterior lenses:
- Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or an acrylic optical brush.
- Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog the lenses with your own breath, then use a nonabrasive lens cloth to clean the lenses.

Cons: A little more finicky finding view due to the smaller exit pupil. Once you get use to it, a non issue.
Easy recommendation. Great build quality and very good optical performance.

Easy recommendation. Great build quality and very good optical performance.
The optics are razor sharp. They are as sharp as the pictures taken from my mirrorless camera lenses costing 8x as much. I was surprised at the clarity and sharpness. The first thought that ran through my head was I need to get a longer range pair but I snapped back to reality. The 8x28 is perfect. I think the next size up would have too much “shake” making it harder to zero in on the object. She would complain and I’d never hear the end of it. Ugh. These can “shake” a little but it’s not that noticeable, as others have mentioned. The distance is nice.
The controls and adjustability are top notch. It stays where you left it.
The size and weight is very manageable. It’s not too heavy so you can carry this around all day and it won’t hurt your neck.
It comes with a nice case that includes a shoulder strap for the case and a neck strap for the binos. Incidentally, the rubber eye cover loop is not broken, it is split by design. That is so you can remove the rubber cover and still have it attached to the neck strap on one side. Otherwise, it would be hard to use with the rubber cap attached to both sides of the neck strap.
What I didn’t like about it…
The rubber eye covers, the eye side, comes off rather easily when you put it in the case. The large side rubber cover also comes off too easily. I wish these snapped on or took a little more force to pull off.
The metal strap loops are too small. You can only slide a single flat strap through it. So any strap thicker than that won’t fit. I had purchased a OP/TECH strap thinking I could install it but I can’t. It’s wider so it’s more comfortable and usually the included straps are junk-but the included neck strap is okay.
All in all my experience with the first real pair of binos has been stellar. I’ve purchased a red dot sight from vortex previously and it has been great. Vortex as a company continues to impress me with these binos.

le poids de 400GR fait de ces jumelles la merveille pour les randonneurs vision de 108M pour 1000M
et la mise au point et de 1,8 M pour la vision rapproché.
très difficile de trouver cette qualité pour ce prix
vous ne serai pas déçu de votre achat
Le immagini sono chiare e ben definite ed è luminoso.
E' facile mettere ben a fuoco e seguire gli animali anche in movimento (il mio utilizzo principale)
C'è una buona protezione delle lenti ed è resistente a polvere e sabbia.
Es verdad que las tapas de las leyes de sueltan muy fácilmente pero yo en su funda no suelo llevar las taoas puestas cuando pajarero de modo que no me preocupa. Con un ángulo de visión de 6,2 con apenas 397 gramos de peso que más puedes pedir por el precio que tienen y lo que ofrecen. Prismáticos para tener siempre disponemos en mochila o bolso sin romperte el cuello por el peso y tener cerca también la cámara de fotos para atrapar a esa ave que no identificas.
