Viper HD 10x42 Roof Prism Binocular (V201)
The Viper HD – Premium optics and rugged construction in a tremendously compact, lightweight package – What more could you need? Well, perhaps a quality chest harness to comfortably and securely carry your investment in the field, but that’s included, too! Hunters, shooters and outdoor enthusiasts alike are sure to benefit from the high performance of the Viper HD binoculars.
Adjust Eyecups & IPD
Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view. Keep the eyecups fully extended if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.
The IPD (interpupillary distance) is the distance between the centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until its IPD aligns with your eyes.
Focus Your Binocular
For the best views, use the center focus and diopter to adjust for vision differences in each eye. Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you and perform this two-step process:
- Close your right eye or cover the right objective lens with your hand. Look at the object with your left eye and adjust the center focus dial until the image is in focus.
- Close your left eye or cover the left objective lens with your hand and rotate the ring until the object is in focus.
Lens Care
Follow this two-step process to gently clean the exterior lenses of your binocular.
- Blow away any dust or grit before wiping the lens. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or acrylic optical brush.
- Gently remove smudges, fingerprints, and eyelash oil from the lens. Use a small amount of water or your breath to moisten the lens then wipe away smudges with a clean lens cloth. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove marks like fingerprints.

I bought a pair for my Son,
And I let my friend use mine and he purchase a pair.
Pros: They have great glass that is very clear and bright. They fit well in my hands. The build quality is excellent and durable. They basically look and feel exactly like the day I bought them, maybe a little patina on the rubber armor. I don't really care for the special case they come with and not many other seem to use it. The binoculars really feel durable enough that a case doesn't feel needed. I have kept mine in the truck through blazing hot summer days and freezing cold nights with no apparent distress. The locking diopter is nice because you set it once and forget about it for life. The rain caps and lens covers both work well, are durable and easy to use. There is absolutely zero backlash in the focus wheel, which makes focus precision better.
Cons: The eye cups could use stronger detent. I use mine fully extended because I don't wear glasses and I frequently find the view messed up due to one of the eye cups retracting to another setting. This is really annoying when you are trying to get that real quick view of a rare bird and have to stop to fix the eye cup. The focus wheel has (I presume) some kind of damping fluid in it. At cold temps, this fluid becomes very viscous and makes the wheel very tough to turn. This issue is compounded by wearing gloves and losing grip. The neck strap connection to the binoculars comes loose at the adjustment buckle, I've moved to an aftermarket strap. I've looked at the high end binoculars in the Vortex line and have not noticed that these mechanical issues have been fixed.

Escogí X10 porque frecuento zonas de aves acuáticas y de grandes mamíferos. Si buscas unos prismáticos para bosque o distancias intermedias me quedaría en el 8x42 que me parece que balancea un poco mejor el ángulo de visión y la luminosidad.
