Advid's Review of Vortex OPMOD Diamondback HD 10x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars
OPMOD would be this website's house collaboration with Vortex. They are lighter than the typical Vortex exclusive offering of the same & the image quality is better than the Vanquish model offering less green tint & clearer than the porro prism. The magnifying dial is a smooth glide & eye boots are a little too big. Vanquish has smaller eye boots for the same size optical lens that fits right inside your orbital socket shielding peripheral light. It's not anything terrible, but does take longer to get to a view through. Takes a few seconds more to aquire an objective image unless you wear eyeglasses then it won't matter. The outer lens transition to the tube is without odd coloration at the end of the lenses. The diopter seems too easy & preset to go even though the image quality dials out with the magnifer wheel very quickly with an almost there - passed it situation. Something seems off with the diopter to image when the wheel moves magnification to aquire variable object. But the magnifier wheel is easy - breasy to follow moving objects showing a wide field view. Night views are okay so long as there's a light source to pick up colors & shades of contrast. I'm not one to grade product by price point but these can be improved on or otherwise be a good product for range spotting with the diopter. They are ergonomic, comfortable, lenses are better than how it functions, diopter at the ready (because you're going to need to adjust it for operating range viewing & mechanically functions beautifully that earns high marks.
Pros:
- Light, ergonomic, good field view.
Cons:
- Diopter doesn't follow magnifying adjustment well.
Best Used for:
- Fixed range viewing
- Fixed range viewing.
Would Recommend:
Yes
