Got given a pair of diamondback hds from a friend. I broke the bino strap somehow, sent it in for the warranty without a receipt or anything, and they sent me a BRAND NEW pair of HD’s with case and all WITHIN a WEEK!!! Thanks Vortex you made my day!!! And season!!!!
Excellent performance and ergonomics. Tack sharp images with little to no chromatic aberration over the entire field over view. Excellent low light performance. I use these binoculars for serious birding under low/poor lighting and they deliver every bit of the same performance as the Razor HD models for less money investment. I'm very hard pressed to see any difference between these and a competitor's ED binoculars. These will be used for bird watching during the dawn and dusk hours as well as for some astronomical viewing of the brighter deep sky objects. A fantastic addition to my binocular collection!!
My wife and I decided to go to Alaska on a land and sea cruise. We went to our local big box outdoor store and looked at the options. We had planned on sharing a "really nice" set of binoculars. After comparing our options, we walked out with 2 sets. When in Denali, on a tour, we watched a grizzly bear and her 3 cubs clearly eating blueberries. We were also able to make out Dahl sheep at extremely long range and seals and otters in glacier bay.
I cant speak to the warrantee because I haven't had any issues, but as for the clarity of the optics, it is exceptional for the price.
Not only are the 10x50's giving you amazing views, their warranty ain't too bad either!! My binos fell off of a shelf and they landed on the strap loop, cracking it off. When I called, the woman was so helpful and I sent them back for possible repair. A week later, they sent me a NEW pair because they couldn't fix the strap loop. Worth every penny!!
