Vortex Crossfire HD 10x42 Binoculars
The Vortex Crossfire HD 10x42 is a full-size roof prism binocular designed for hunting, wildlife observation and general outdoor viewing. Its 10x magnification brings distant subjects into a closer sight picture, while the 42mm objective lenses and HD optical system provide a combination of image resolution, colour fidelity and light transmission. The included GlassPak binocular harness provides a dedicated carrying and storage option.
HD Optical System
- 10x magnification: Provides detailed viewing of distant terrain, wildlife and other subjects.
- 42mm objective lenses: Provide the front aperture for gathering available light.
- HD optical system: Selected glass elements are optimized for resolution, colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and reduced chromatic aberration.
- Fully multi-coated lenses: Anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces support light transmission and image clarity.
- 6.2° angular field of view: Provides a linear viewing area of 325 feet at 1,000 yards.
- 15mm eye relief: Provides the specified viewing distance between the eyepiece and the user's eye.
Ergonomics and Weather Protection
The Crossfire HD uses a roof prism layout with a true open-hinge body design. Adjustable twist-up eyecups accommodate viewing with or without eyeglasses, while the centre focus wheel adjusts both optical barrels together. A right-eye diopter adjustment allows the user to account for differences in vision between eyes.
Rubber armour covers the exterior to provide a secure gripping surface and added external protection. Nitrogen gas purging and O-ring sealing provide waterproof and fogproof construction for changing outdoor conditions. The binocular is also tripod adaptable with a compatible adapter.
