From the manufacturer
Raptor 10X32 Porro Prism Binocular (R310)
We've taken porro prism performance to a whole new level with a mid-size, wide-angle design featuring waterproof, fogproof construction and fully multi-coated optics. The Raptor binoculars deliver a bright, crisp image with excellent color fidelity-even in low light conditions. With a wide range of interpupillary distance, this binocular can be easily adjusted to fit anyone in the family, from young children to adults.
Adjust Eyecups & IPD
Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.
The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.
Focus Your Binocular
For the best views, use the center focus and diopter to adjust for vision differences in each eye. Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you 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.
Lens Care
- Blow away any dust or grit before wiping the lens. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or acrylic optical brush.
- Gently remove smudges, fingerprints, and eyelash oil from the lens. Use a small amount of water or your breath to moisten the lens then wipe away smudges with a clean lens cloth. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove marks like fingerprints.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Please note that my binoculars arrived with bad optics on one side (the right side would not come to a sharp focus) I spoke to a customer service representative at Vortex, and they sent me a free return label for FedEx, and they had my binos back in their shop within 3 days. They concluded that the pair I had received was faulty, and they sent me back a brand new pair and a complimentary hat, just a few days later. The new pair works great! I mention this because it shows that Vortex had great customer service, but also as a caveat that their quality control may not be perfect for this model. If you ever receive a questionable model, you should contact them and hopefully you'll receive the great service that I did. Quality control is also something that you can expect to be lacking in a cheaper model such as this one, but you'll get more than your money's worth if you are diligent and work with the company if you have any problems.
Vortex Optics Raptor Porro Prism Binocularsare great for Daytime Viewing of birds etc,
Buying binoculars like these tha have "Fully mutiple lens coatings" a must for an excellent view. Porro Binoculars have a brighter view for less money then roof binoculars. The are easy to carry around your neck and keep still while using.
When looking for birds you need a small light pair of 8x binoculars with a wide ange of view, that has a sharp image and "full multiple coatings" with smooth focus wheel. Seeing a bird with your eyes and then trying to see that same bird by finding its image in binoculars with higher maginification is not easy to do.
The key is having a wide field of view. I perfer objective lens to be 32mm. You may be able to walk around with a heavier pair but it certainly is not needed or fun. Seeing a slightly smaller bird then at the higher magnifications is not a problem as long as the view is sharp and clear. Bigger is not better.
Night Time Viewing
If you are looking at stars 8-10 magnification is enough. You can't see a star farther away with any higher magnification that you can hold still in your hands. In actuallity they are little pins of light. You need a wide angle of view and sharp sky images. I found 50mm objective lens suck in the light . Seeing a bright night time sky with sharp pins of light is a wow response. 42mm can be okay. Porro Binoculers provide more light at the same cost a roof binoculars. Vortex Optics also carries this kind of binoculars.
Limited lifetime warrentees are meaningless. Even if your binoculars look perfect and have never been dropped they can still refuse to fix your binoculars.
I now only buy Busnell, Nikon, Celestron, and Vortex. However in the past I have bought other cheaper brands and were happy with them Binoculars are always on sale. Pay hundreds of dollars is not needed.
For around 100-200 dollars you can get a very nice pair of binoculars. However I bought a 30 dollar fully coated Bushnell binoculars that have a very nice view them. They were not waterproof. Waterproofing is a very good idea.
I see many very high magnification binoculars for sale. Perhaps on a beach, boating or for looking at a car's license plate.. I can see a need. I go no higher then at 12x which is perfect for moon viewing and I can hand hold these binoculars steady.
