Carson's 10x50 RD Binoculars combine powerful magnification with large objectives and an ergonomic chassis to produce an optic that will perform from dawn to dusk in all weather conditions. The aperture of the objectives enable them to draw in copious amounts of light and widen the exit pupils to allow them to completely cover the pupils when it fully dilates in low-light. These factors allow users to resolve details normally hidden to smaller optics at dawn, dusk, or under heavy canopies. BAK4 glass roof prisms and fully multi-coated optics maximize light transmission through the light path for accurate color rendition; and improved clarity, contrast, and brightness. This optical performance, when added to the high power and generous viewing angle, produces an immersive observational experience with drastically reduced appearance of visible hand-shake or the disorientation caused by pitching or rolling decks when glassing on the water.

The RD is engineered with an open-bridge and dual-hinge, which reduce weight and provide more gripping surface area, without sacrificing strength or stability. To withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes. Their lightweight aluminum alloy chassis is wrapped in a green rubber armor that not only protects them from impacts, but provides a slip-resistant grip. For long observation sessions or hands-free use, the RD binoculars are tripod mountable when used with optional adapters.
