The TrailSeeker 8x42mm is a roof prism binocular for birding, hunting and other outdoor observation. It has fully broadband multi-coated optics and BaK-4 prisms with phase and dielectric coatings. Together these coatings are intended to increase light transmission for bright, detailed images.
The body is lightweight magnesium alloy covered in rubber. The binocular is fully waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging. Metal twist-up eyecups have multiple click stops, so the binocular can be used with or without eyeglasses.
Close focus is 6.5 feet, which suits nearby subjects such as birds, butterflies and plants. The 8x magnification and wide field of view are meant for distant subjects and for following them as they move. The binocular can be mounted on a standard photographic tripod for extended viewing or digiscoping. The tripod adapter is sold separately.
