Outfitted with a magnification and objective lens combination that is optimized for low-light use, the Minox 8x56 X-HD Binoculars is designed with extra low-dispersion HD glass to provide you with clear high-contrast views free from distortion.

Minox utilizes large 56mm objectives that draw in copious amounts of light that push its ability to perform in low and challenging lighting, such as in the pre-dawn and late dusk hours when many animals and birds are most active. Proprietary M* anti-reflection multi-coatings on the ED glass lenses and silver coated Abbe-Koenig roof prisms transmit bright and clear high-contrast images with true neutral color rendition and crisp clarity while correcting chromatic and spherical aberrations. The X-HD's performance enhancements are critical components for scanning wide open terrain, identifying your target, and maintaining sight of it without it seeing or smelling you.

Utilizing an open-bridge/dual-hinge configuration helps to cut weight without sacrificing stability while providing plenty of room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip, even if you need to use them one-handed. The chassis is made of a lightweight and durable polycarbonate wrapped in a protective armor that provides a slip-resistant grip—especially in cold and wet weather. The optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be resistant to internal fogging and also waterproof—so the X-HD will fair better than you if it tumbles into a stream or pond. And if you do end up in a stream, tethered objective lens caps and one-piece ocular rainguard prevent their loss while allowing for fast reaction when opportunities present themselves.
