Das Minox X-range in 10x42
Everything that matters
MINOX is renowned for manufacturing high-quality binoculars. This expertise is evident in the bright, true-to-color image with edge-to-edge sharpness. The binoculars are waterproof and offer an impressive field of view of 106m at 1000m, underscoring the practical versatility of the entire series – an ideal companion for hunters who require reliable optics for ethical game identification, observation, and hunting.
Compact.
The X-range series from MINOX stands out with its elegant design, making the binoculars exceptionally easy to handle. Measuring just 15.2cm x 13.2cm, they are compact and suitable even for smaller hands. The rubberized surface ensures a secure and high-quality grip. The central focusing wheel and the two buttons on the bridge of the binoculars are easily accessible and can be operated effortlessly, even when wearing gloves. The contrasting color of the focus wheel adds a touch of sophistication to the binoculars' design.
Lightweight.
Thanks to its magnesium housing, the X-range series is robust enough to handle any challenges in the field. Whether you're stalking, hunting from a stand, or traveling abroad for a hunt, the X-series provides the reliability needed to withstand rugged use – whether in mountainous terrain or the vast landscapes of Africa. Weighing just 990 grams, these binoculars are comfortable to carry, avoiding unnecessary neck strain or excessive swaying on the chest while walking.
Powerful.
A binocular with an integrated laser rangefinder offers numerous advantages. The "one-for-all" concept allows hunters to adapt to varying distances and terrain conditions, ensuring a responsible and precise shot. With an exceptional measuring range of up to 2800m, larger objects such as prominent landmarks or buildings can be easily identified. For precise measurements of game, the range extends to 1600m. Measurement accuracy is impressive, with tolerances of ±1m up to 1000m and ±2m up to 2800m.
The binocular features two buttons on its bridge: one to access the menu and the other to operate the laser rangefinder. Users can choose between displaying "Distance & Angle" or "Distance & Horizontal Distance." The unit of measurement can be switched between yards and meters. Powered by a standard CR 2 lithium battery, the device delivers an impressive 4000 measurements per battery.
The button configuration is fully customizable, allowing both left-handed and right-handed users to tailor the device to their needs. This straightforward usability is reflected in the intuitive menu navigation.
Conclusion
The MINOX X-range 10x42 can be succinctly described as compact, lightweight, and powerful. These three attributes define this practical binocular, making it a visually appealing, highly functional, and innovative hunting companion that delivers long-lasting enjoyment.
