Vortex Optics Crossfire HD 10x50 Binoculars - HD Optical System, Tripod Adaptable, Rubber Armor, Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof, Included GlassPak - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

Fine binoculars for the money. A bright image and very sharp. Not Leica, but really great image for the money.

Guess I will build the amazon machine with some good info to help customers realize the low down. Reviewing only one specimen of the Vortex 10x42 Crossfire HD binoculars, so keep that in mind. Going to compare the Vortex with a few similar priced binocs. Conditions: overcast rainy day, 2:30 pm Pa. Going to look at a Pa license plate (white background with dark letters/numbers) at 220 yards and tell you how easy it is the read the plate using the various binoculars. All binoculars in like new condition and carefully adjusted for my eyes. I could have got out the Zeiss, Lecia , Cabelas Alaskin guide, Maven etc. out to blow the Vortex away but only the Vortex general price range are compared. Starting with the best and going on down. Bushnell 10x25 Legend HD (clearly the best, the center hinge could be tighter for my taste), next Bushnell Legend L series of about 4 yrs ago 10x42( small amount of play when changing direction of main focus wheel) tied with the Celestron Trailseeker (Celestron had slightly better resolution but not quite the contrast of the Bushnell) A fairly close next the Vortex 10x32 Diamondback from about 6 yrs ago. And the hardest to make the plate out were the Crossfires but could still barely make it out finding the sweet spot. The Vortex are mechanically excellent and feel great in the hand. Weigh 24oz with the rubber attached objective covers. I think that allot of folks after taking the time to adjust the diopter for their own eyes will say the Vortex are a perfect binocular! But only when not having better to side by side compare(can take a little bit of time to do a careful comparison). Want to give the Vortex 4.5 considering the whole package and price. I got absolutely nothing for this review! O and people will be happy to know that the play in the focus wheel when changing directions of my Crossfires is almost completely gone! ( compared with my 8x42 Diamond backs of about 3+ yrs ago.) If you got the money I would go for the Diamondbacks, a bit lighter and likely a small amount better picture quilty (but over 50%more bucks!) UPDATE : after more experiment I would say the diamondback 10x32s are not quit as good as the 10x42 Cross fires. Think I mAy have a sub standard 10x32 speicimin in the diamondbacks? And now I have aquired a latest version of the 10x42 diamondbacks and they are excellent, better than the cross fires, better resolution especially in low light and have better edge to edge clarity than the Crossfires. ( I still feel Cross fires are good). With just the objective covers installed= 24.1 oz., Diamondbacks = 22.0 oz. Update (8/4/2023): the Crossfire 8x42 are very good and look like they would cost big bucks., amazing binocs for the money.

Fantastic binoculars for the money! The weight, features, quality, east to use and stability using the included straps is top notch. These are easily the quality of binoculars that retail for $1200-1800.

Pricey, but you are also paying for the name also. But great clarity, weight is good, has comfortable grip. I don’t know about bird watching, but the worked great for me with stand hunting

Great field of view and easy adjustment

10-42. Nice unit. Purchased 8-2025. For the price point, hard to beat. Only used short time, I’ll update after my hunts this fall. Update: Just returned from Montana elk hunt. Binocs worked well. Clear, consistent, light enough to carry, low cost enough to not be overly concerned. Note, the 10-42 seems perfect for Midwest use but was limited for longer distances in mountains. Not an issue, more a comment.

I agonized over what binoculars to buy (not having any "frame of reference" to draw on). Eventually I decided that I'd rather have "more" magnification over "less", that a brighter view was going to be more pleasing than the dimmer view that smaller objective lenses offer, and that adjustable eye relief was important for people who wear glasses (like me). I was also surprised to learn that non-weatherproof binoculars can fog up just due to temperature changes - we don't want that happening. After having an online chat with an expert, Vortex brand was recommended for my price point. It ticked all the boxes in addition to having the newer/better prism technology. They arrived this morning and I'm VERY happy with them. I'm sure that binoculars costing several thousands of dollars would technically be better, but to me (and I say this both as a photographer and retoucher who makes a living out of getting images as clear and sharp as possible), I really can't imagine optics being any better - they're just superb; and this comes from a guy who hates images not being clear and sharp. I chose the 12x 50mm model - my only criticism is that this amount of magnification can be just a little challenging for my old hands to stabilise; it's not a big issue - and I'd definitely buy this magnification again - but just a "heads up" if you're thiking of getting a 12x and your hands are a bit shaky. Unit shipped with nice soft case - straps to mount it to one's chest (if you're "into" that - I'm not), strap for the binoculars themselves, lens cleaning cloth, & lens caps (tethered for the objective lenses, attachable to the neck strap for the eyepiece lenses). In summary - if you're uncertain about what to buy because you're concerned about quality but don't want to break the bank - don't hesitate to pick up one of the Vortex Crossfire range; they appear to be incredible value at their price point. I'd buy them again in a heartbeat (but probably won't have to due to their unconditional warranty). Apologies if this reads like an advertisement, but in a world full of over-promise and under-deliver, it's refreshing when something actually lives up to the hype and is great value for money.

Arrived and took them outside and put them to work. Great pair they are! Easy to focus with or without glasses. Not to heavy and a good feel to them, easy to grip. Comes with strap and also chest rig to keep them in while hiking to free up your hands. Purchased for an upcoming trip to Ireland and then to the Mach Loop in Wales. Plenty of time to see how they handle wet weather during the trip. Will update when we return in late April.

Qualità prezzo super

Vortex, Bebang oder Usogood... Welches 10x42 Fernglas ist das Richtige für Sie? Ein Vergleich. Ich habe drei gängige 10x42 Ferngläser miteinander verglichen: das Vortex Crossfire, das Bebang und das Usogood. Mein Ziel war es herauszufinden, welches Modell das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet. 1. Die Optik (Das Wichtigste) * Vortex Crossfire (5/5 Sterne): Die Bildqualität ist überragend. Das Bild ist von der Mitte bis zum Rand gestochen scharf und absolut klar. Selbst bei schwachem Restlicht liefert es ein nutzbares Bild, und man kann sogar kleine Details wie Regentropfen in 250 Metern Entfernung erkennen. * Usogood (3/5 Sterne): Tagsüber ist die Optik brauchbar, aber das Bild wirkt leicht verpixelt. Bei Dunkelheit ist es noch akzeptabel. * Bebang (2/5 Sterne): Hier ist die Optik die größte Schwachstelle. Das Bild ist stark verpixelt und verrauscht. Nur der Fokuspunkt ist einigermaßen scharf, der Randbereich ist verschwommen. Für längeres Beobachten ist es nicht zu empfehlen, da es die Augen sehr anstrengt. Bei Dunkelheit verstärkt sich das Rauschen. 2. Die Haptik und der Gesamteindruck * Vortex Crossfire (5/5 Sterne): Die Verarbeitung ist top. Das Fernglas fühlt sich hochwertig an, liegt perfekt in der Hand und die Oberfläche hat eine angenehme Textur. * Bebang (4/5 Sterne): Fühlt sich ebenfalls gut an und liegt gut in der Hand. Als einfaches "Habe-ich-dabei"-Gadget ist es in Ordnung. * Usogood (3/5 Sterne): Die Oberfläche fühlt sich etwas künstlich an, liegt aber dennoch gut in der Hand. 3. Fazit und Preis-Leistung * Vortex Crossfire (5/5 Sterne): Mit einem Preis von ca. 175 € bietet dieses Fernglas ein unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Die erstklassige Optik, die hochwertige Verarbeitung und die lebenslange Garantie machen es zur perfekten Wahl für vielseitige Einsätze wie Wandern, Bergsteigen oder Wildbeobachtung. Der Aufpreis ist absolut gerechtfertigt. * Usogood (3/5 Sterne): Für einen Preis von 40-60 € ist es ein brauchbares Einsteigermodell. Ich würde es für Kinder oder Gelegenheitsnutzer empfehlen, die nur hin und wieder etwas beobachten möchten. * Bebang (2/5 Sterne): Das Bebang ist mit etwa 40 € zwar günstig, kann aber aufgrund der schlechten Optik nicht überzeugen. Klare Empfehlung: Für alle, die Wert auf Qualität, eine herausragende Optik und eine Garantie legen, ist das Vortex Crossfire die eindeutig beste Wahl. Es übertrifft die Konkurrenz in allen wichtigen Punkten und ist jeden Cent wert.

excelente qualidade de acabamento, produto sensacional para a visualização mesmo com o uso de óculos de grau.

Not good zooming not clear The quality all so poor
