Minox 8×56 X-HD Binoculars

Description

Operating with an expansive 7mm exit pupil and a 379.52-foot field of view at 1000 yards, the Minox 8×56 X-HD Binoculars deliver high optical brightness and low-light resolving power for deep-twilight hunting and nocturnal wildlife observation. Pairing 8x magnification with massive 56mm objective apertures, this German-engineered roof prism instrument produces an actual angle of view of 7.2 degrees, a 9.84-foot (3m) close focus distance, and a large exit pupil that matches the dark-adapted human eye for extended viewing along shadowed timber edges.

The optical system features high-performance roof prisms treated with phase-correction coatings, paired with exclusive extra-low dispersion (ED) optical glass elements and broadband fully multi-coated surfaces that optimize light transmission and edge contrast. Built inside an open-bridge chassis with an ergonomic dual-hinge design and black shock-absorbing rubber armoring, the housing measures 195 by 160 by 70mm (7.68 x 6.3 x 2.76 inches) and weighs 1.25 kg (2.76 lbs). The internal barrels are dry nitrogen gas purged and O-ring sealed for complete waterproof and internal fogproof protection in adverse weather. Mechanical adjustments feature a central focusing wheel, a right-eye diopter adjustment ring spanning -4 to +4, multi-position twist-up rubber eyecups, an interpupillary distance range from 57mm to 78mm, and an integrated 1/4-20 tripod adapter socket on the central hinge.

Key Features of Minox 8×56 X-HD Binoculars

Designed specifically for twilight hunting from stands and blinds, this 8×56 roof prism binocular combines extra-low dispersion ED glass with phase-corrected optics. Its 7mm exit pupil delivers high light throughput during the final minutes of legal shooting light. The open-bridge nitrogen-sealed waterproof chassis and textured rubber armoring provide secure single-handed handling and dependable weather protection in freezing temperatures.

Extra-Low Dispersion Glass & 7mm Exit Pupil Light Transmission

The 56mm objective lenses gather extensive photon volume, working with extra-low dispersion ED glass elements to suppress secondary spectrum chromatic aberration on high-contrast skylines. High-transmission broadband multi-coatings applied across all optical faces minimize surface glare and internal reflections, allowing hunters to distinguish cryptic game contours in fading twilight. The large 7mm exit pupil floods dark-adapted pupils with light, preserving micro-contrast and image sharpness through overcast conditions and deep dusk.

Open-Bridge Polycarbonate Frame & All-Weather Nitrogen Purging

The open-bridge ergonomic chassis allows fingers to wrap completely around the optical barrels, providing stable balance during prolonged stationary watches. Shock-absorbing rubber armoring protects internal optical alignments from mechanical bumps while offering a secure hold in rain and snow. The dry nitrogen gas filling prevents internal optical fogging during abrupt temperature drops, while the central focus wheel turns smoothly to maintain crisp focus from 9.84 feet out to optical infinity.

• Open-bridge chassis providing natural hand wrapping for steady glassing in cold conditions
• Nitrogen-filled waterproof construction engineered to resist internal moisture and rain penetration
• Multi-position twist-up eyecups maintaining repeatable eye relief and shielding from stray light
