Meopta 8×42 MeoPro Air HDED+ Binoculars

Description

Eliminating eye-relief strain for spectacle wearers while tracking game across open country, the Meopta 8×42 MeoPro Air HDED+ Binoculars deliver high-contrast resolving performance and broad situational awareness. Combining an optimal 8x magnification with 42mm objective apertures, this roof prism instrument yields an expansive 414-foot linear field of view at 1000 yards (137.4m at 1000m), an actual angle of view of 7.9 degrees, an accommodating 5.25mm exit pupil, and an extraordinary 22.1mm eye relief that allows observers wearing prescription eyeglasses or sunglasses to view the complete image frame without vignetting.

The optical system features the advanced HDED+ optical layout utilizing extra-low dispersion fluoride glass elements paired with phase-corrected roof prisms treated with dielectric mirror coatings, MeoBright ion-assisted multi-coatings, MeoShield scratch-resistant coatings, and MeoDrop hydrophobic exterior coatings. Built around an open-bridge ergonomic magnesium alloy chassis with dual hinges and dark gray textured rubber armoring, the housing measures 15.5 by 12.7cm (6.1 x 5 Inches) and weighs 799g (28.2 oz). The optical barrels are nitrogen gas filled and O-ring sealed for complete waterproof and fogproof protection against severe weather. Mechanical controls include a smooth central focus wheel, a bridge-mounted central diopter adjustment dial spanning -4 to +4, multi-position twist-up rubber eyecups, an interpupillary span from 55.9mm to 73.7mm, and a 6.6-foot (2m) close focus distance.

Key Features of Meopta 8×42 MeoPro Air HDED+ Binoculars

Designed for mountain hunters and field naturalists, this 8×42 roof prism binocular pairs HDED+ fluoride glass elements with an ergonomic open-bridge chassis. Its generous 22.1mm eye relief and wide 7.9-degree field of view provide an expansive sweet spot with flat-field clarity. The nitrogen-sealed waterproof magnesium body, central diopter adjuster, and MeoDrop lens coatings ensure structural durability and clear optics in demanding outdoor terrain.

HDED+ Fluoride Glass Elements & MeoBright Multi-Coatings

The HDED+ optical system incorporates precision fluoride optical glass to eliminate secondary chromatic aberration, ensuring target borders appear crisp without purple or green color fringing. MeoBright ion-assisted multi-coatings applied across all air-to-glass boundaries maximize light transmission, delivering high optical contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness in shaded woodland environments. Exterior optical surfaces are protected by MeoDrop hydrophobic coatings that cause rain and moisture to bead and run off, while MeoShield coatings protect exposed elements against scratching in dense brush.

Open-Bridge Magnesium Chassis & Extended 22.1mm Eye Relief

The open-bridge dual-hinge architecture allows fingers to wrap completely through the frame, providing exceptional handling balance and reducing hand fatigue during long glassing vigils. Textured rubber armoring cushions internal components from impacts and offers a firm, secure grip in freezing rain. The central focusing barrel operates with fluid mechanical resistance, complemented by an integrated bridge-mounted diopter adjustment dial that holds individual eye balance securely, while the 22.1mm eye relief provides maximum visual comfort for all observers.

• Open-bridge magnesium frame enabling a balanced wrap-around grip with gloved hands
• Submersible nitrogen-purged chassis engineered to withstand extreme mountain weather
• Extended 22.1mm eye relief paired with multi-stop eyecups ensuring full visual field access
