Description

Overview

The Hyperion 8x42 ED Binocular features an upgraded ergonomic chassis that makes holding it more comfortable, especially during long glassing sessions. Optically, it features phase-corrected BAK4 roof prisms, extra low-dispersion (ED) glass, and anti-reflection Super multi-coated (SMC) optics to produce a versatile and capable optic that produces bright and clear high-contrast images with true color rendition and virtually no color-fringing. Coupled with the optical features are 42mm diameter objectives which give the binocular very competent low-light performance. This combination of optics and objectives make the Hyperion ED ideally suited for most outdoor activities from hunting, to birding, to sporting events. The 62° apparent angle of view also helps to minimize the visible handshake common in higher-power binoculars.

The comfortable ergonomic chassis is made of a magnesium alloy to help reduce weight, without sacrificing strength while adding impact and corrosion-resistant. The optical tubes are wrapped with durable armoring which not only protects them from drops and impacts, it also gives the binocular a slip-resistant grip - especially in cold and wet weather. The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fog proof - especially in extreme weather conditions. A right-eye diopter adjustment allows the binocular to be customized to most people's needs, and twist-up eyecups mean it can be comfortably used with or without eyewear.

Optical Performance

High 8x magnification enables detailed observations of distant subjects

Larger 42mm objective lenses improve the light-gathering ability for enhanced low-light performance such as at dawn and dusk or when peering into the dense brush

Compact roof prism light path ensures the optical tubes remain slim for easier handling without affecting performance

Extra low-dispersion (ED) glass helps to correct chromatic and spherical aberration to improve clarity and sharpness with accurate color representation without ghosting or halos, and limited distortion — especially at the edges of the field of view

Anti-reflection super multi-coated optics provides a dramatic improvement in both color fidelity and brightness and the elimination of flare and ghost images

Phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal interference to improve color and contrast

Wide 68° apparent angle of view minimizes the appearance of the distracting handshake that is common when holding high-power optics while presenting a spacious and immersive observational experience

Generous 426ft field of view at 1000 yards 

Short 6.56' close-focus distance

Use and Handling

Closed-bridge configuration provides a solid and stable platform for the internal focusing mechanism

Large slip-resistant center focusing wheel is easy to manipulate in cold and wet weather, even while wearing gloves

Right eye dioptric adjustment collar helps to compensate for individual eye prescription

Broad 56-73mm interpupillary distance adjustment range enables easy use by a wide variety of users

Twist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear

Tripod mountable with an optional adapter for hands-free use to eliminate vibrations and arm fatigue

17.2mm eye relief allows for more comfortable viewing with reduced eye strain, especially during long-duration glassing sessions

5.2mm exit pupil will cover most pupils as they open and dilate in low light to keep the whole scene in view without vignetting

Construction Details

Lightweight and durable magnesium alloy chassis material

Nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and to resist internal fogging when moving between extreme temperature variations

Ergonomic body design positions the hand over the binocular's center of balance for additional comfort and reduced strain and fatigue

One-piece tethered ocular rainguard protects eyecups from water pooling in them from rain or spraying water when hanging from the neck

Protective black armoring provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet conditions
