Overall
Eyeskey's Dreamer HD 8X42 Binoculars is outfitted with anti-reflection, fully multi-coated glass elements and phase-corrected roof prisms, to produce bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color. Its 8x magnification brings subjects up close, without sacrificing the field of view or exit pupil, or the noticeable handshake often associated with higher power optics, while the 42mm objectives boost its light-gathering ability to improve views in challenging light such as during the pre-dawn and late evening hours or in foggy and cloudy weather. With the combination of a spacious field of view, glass, prism, and optical coatings, and long eye relief, users can enjoy a comfortable and immersive observational experience in most lighting conditions.
Complementing the optical performance are construction details that make this binocular durable and comfortable to use. It has a lightweight and durable reinforced chassis and is protected by textured armor which gives it a secure non-slip grip. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature variations and environmental conditions. A one-piece ocular rainguard covers the eyecups as the binocular hangs around the neck and prevents rain and spraying water from filling them, and the objective lens caps are also tethered to keep them safe from being lost on the forest floor.
Whether you're hunting or birding, boating or watching your favorite team, this Dreamer HD will quickly become indispensable for all your outdoor activities.
Optical Performance
- Moderate 8x power magnifies views without sacrificing exit pupil, eye relief, and field of view
- 42mm objective lenses improve light-gathering ability without adding excessive bulk or weight
- Roof prism light path ensures optical tubes remain thin for a compact form factor
- Phase-corrected prism coatings reduce internal interference to improve light transmission, contrast, and resolution
- Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum for accurate color rendition and improved contrast and clarity
- 330ft wide field of view at 1000 yards
Use and Handling
- Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism
- Large slip center focus wheel allows for precise focus control, even while wearing gloves
- Right eye dioptric adjustment collar helps to compensate for individual eye prescription
- Twist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Tripod mountable with an optional adapter for hands-free use
- Extra-long 20.4mm eye relief helps to reduce eye strain and improves viewing comfort
- Comfortable 5.18mm exit pupil will cover pupils as they open in low light to keep the full scene in view
Construction Details
- Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes and environmental conditions
- Lightweight and durable fiberglass-reinforced polycarbonate chassis
- Chassis material is temperature resistant (-20℃~60℃), preventing the expansion and contraction that is common with metal, which can cause the optical components to move out of alignment over time and prevent sharp focus
- Protective black armoring provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet conditions
- Plug-in fold-down objective lens caps prevent losing them during observation sessions
- Weight: 23.70 ounces
