Most Helpful Positive Review Smoked the competition
I looked through a lot of different binos before purchasing the Diamondback 10x42s. I found some that cost twice a much that were not as bright and clear, one example being the Zeiss Terra ED (at $449.99). I was amazed as I'm a huge Zeiss fan with most of my hunting rifles wearing Zeiss scopes. The...

Most Helpful Negative Review Well maybe!
I was very happy with the ordering, shipping and price @OpticsPlanet. The Binocular feels to be well built and the features and the carry case are good for the price. The optics are not quite what I thought it would be. I had to step back and lower my expectations some. This is a low cost binocular ...

by Big show, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on September 11, 2025

Super clear vision at a great price.

OP had a sale on optics and bino's with a super deal on the Vortex Diamondback 10x42mm Roof Prism Binocular. Very good quality, rubber coated and durable. Easy to zoom in and out. Only drawback is there a bit heavy if you have to hike the backcountry. Ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain. Nice cushy neck strap included but if you want then not to bounce around get a 4 point.
Pros:
  • Excellent clarity
  • excellent
Cons:
  • Heavy

Crispy- clear optics in a compact size

by thill, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on August 5, 2025
Saw these on sale, and since Vortex has such a good name, I went for it. These binos do not disappoint! Very crisp, sharp images, easy to adjust and focus, and they are both lighter and more compact than the 10x50's they replace, they are just better overall.

These get a 10 out of 10 from me. Not a single negative that I can think of. WELL worth the price!
Pros:
  • light weight
  • compact
  • excellent optical image
  • nice accessories included
Cons:
  • none that i can see
Best Used for:
  • hunting
  • hiking
  • fishing
  • Boating
  • Sporting Events
  • Birdwatching

Well worth the price and then some.

by Richie, Verified Owner from MA, United States Written on June 4, 2025
Amazingly crisp image for a very low cost pair of lenses. Light gathering is a bit better with 50mm objectives, but only a bit. These image very bright Sun or cloud cover during daytime and the dawn and dusk image is more than good. These focus excellent out to 3/4 mile and actually pretty good at 2+ miles. Most of the distortion is thermal disruption or haze in the air. Chilly morning low humidity 1.2 miles across salt water marshland image was flawless. Really nice pair and worth every penny. Thank you Vortex you make some really good quality, highly capable, low cost peepers.

by kc, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on May 24, 2025
i’m pretty biased to like these bins a lot because my previous pair just weren't very good. they’re awesome only drawback is the case is pretty clunky but I can rest assured that nothings gonna happen to them. super clear and lots of color.
