Powerful enough to observe distant objects but not so powerful that hand shake spoils the view, the 8x42 Crossfire HD Binoculars from Vortex are
a solid choice for an all-around optic. Their generous objective lens
admits lots of light for a bright image, and the 6' close-focus distance
is ideal for watching nearby birds, animals or insects. They come with a
Vortex GlassPak harness for comfortable use during hours of
observation.
The Crossfire HD delivers views with minimal chromatic aberration,
exceptional color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness, and optimal light
transmission through the use of high definition glass, an index-matched
lens configuration, XR Plus anti-reflective coating, and
phase-correcting roof prisms. The housing is nitrogen-filled for fog and
waterproof performance, and rubber armored for a non-slip grip. The
short bridge provides plenty of space for your hands, and the large
focusing knob is easy to use, even while wearing gloves. Twist-down
eyecups accommodate users who wear glasses. For hands-free use and the
steadiest view, the Crossfire HD can be mounted on a tripod using the
separately sold tripod adapter.
