Questions & Answers
Where are they made? Optics from Japan Germany or China? Expert Answer

Vortex does not provide the country of origin for their Diamondback HD 10x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars. However, the high-end models are produced in Japanese manufacturing sites whereas mid-range and affordable line of products are made in Philippines and China. I would recommend contacting Vortex directly for more specific information.

Helpful Positive Review Amazing Binoculars by Tutu, March 17, 2023
So I tried the Viper HD, the OPMOD Diamondback HD, and the Crossfire HD. I didn't like the Viper locking diopter; it seemed too difficult to pull, adjust, and lock in place. Since I'm sharing these with my wife, and I knew she would struggle with t...
