Bak-4 glass prisms reflect more light to your eyes which will give you brighter and sharper image. Phase corrected prisms produce images that have better contrast, a higher resolution and better color reproduction Review: Best binoculars for the money. Super bright and sharp viewing. - These are the best binoculars you can buy for the money. I own two pairs, one for each of my vehicles, and have given 3 pairs as gifts. The binoculars are really well made. The magnification is great for viewing all kinds of sports, fishing, hunting, bird watching, etc. Most important is that they are bright and sharp and easy to handle. The rubber texture on the outside is comfortable and warm and provides waterproofing. The twist out eye relief is just right. They have a smooth and easy to adjust center focus dial and individual focus ring for fine tuning. The weight is just right; not too heavy and not too light. Very impressive. Review: Highly immersive birding binoculars - I've owned these binoculars for two years. I remain extremely happy with them and I've had no problems. I own other binoculars in this price range and less. But because of their sharpness, clarity, and apparent image size, the Athlons are the first pair that have given me a sense of immersion in what I am viewing, as opposed to the feeling of looking down a tube. I refer you to the Cornell Lab (All About Birds) Review of Full-Sized Binoculars -- you will see that the reviewed Athlon Midas G2 UHD are one of the top rated binoculars, and are also a great value given their price. Per the Alexa shopping assistant, the Athlon Midas UHD (this model) has "virtually the same" optics as the Midas G2, but for less. ## Features - ED Glass - ED glass gives you an image with little or no chromatic fringe so the final result brings a clearer and sharper image to your eyes - ESP Dielectric Coating is a multi layer prism coating that reflects over 99% of the light to your eyes bringing you a clear, bright image that displays accurate color reproduction. - Advanced FMC - Advanced Fully Multi-Coated lenses gives you better light transmission to bring optimum brightness and true color across the entire light spectrum. - Argon Purged - Argon purging gives you better waterproofing and thermal stability and Field of view Angular -8.1 degree - Long eye relief can be particularly important for eyeglass wearers because longer eye relief allows them to still see the entire field of view.Field Of View M @1000 METERS:144 m ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YLTG7DA | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparent Angle of View | 8.1 degrees | | Best Sellers Rank | #20 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #15 in Binoculars | | Brand | Athlon Optics | | Built-In Media | Binocular, Cleaning cloth, Lens caps, Padded neck strap, Soft sided case | | Coating | Fully Multi-Coated | | Color | green | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,730) | | Diopter Adjustment Range | +/-3 diopters | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum Or Polycarbonate | | Exit-Pupil Diameter | 5.25 millimeters | | Eye Relief | 17.2 millimeters | | Features | Lightweight | | Field of View | 8.1 degrees | | Focus Description | Manual Focus | | Focus Type | close | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00813869020092 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5.7"L x 5.2"W | | Item Highlight | For Hunting, Birdwatching, and Adults & Kids | High-Powered, ED Glass, Eye Relief | Waterproof and Fogproof | | Item Type Name | Binocular | | Item Weight | 1.6 pounds | | Magnification Maximum | 8 x | | Manufacturer | Athlon Optics | | Manufacturer Part Number | 113004 | | Model Name | Midas | | Model Number | 113004 | | Mount Type | Tripod Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 42 | | Prism Type | Roof Prism | | Relative Brightness | 27.56 | | Size Map | Full Size | | Specific Uses | Bird Watching, Hiking & Outdoors, Hunting and Shooting or Sports | | UPC | 751738575321 813869020092 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime Transferable Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Zoom Ratio | 8 multiplier x | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Athlon Optics - **Magnification Maximum:** 8 x - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 42 - **Special Feature:** Lightweight ## Images ![Midas UHD 8x42 Binoculars, ED Glass, Gray, Waterproof - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LYTCGXyRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can a tripod be used, and if so, what is the best adapter to connect it to a tripod?** A: These can be used with a tripod and even though these binoculars aren't that heavy, be sure to get a metal adapter which is more stable and will also work best with heavy binocs for astronomy. **Q: what kind of case and strap does it have?** A: The soft fabric case has a clip-on adjustable strap.

First off, the packaging immediately stood out. I really appreciate when a company puts effort into presentation, and Athlon clearly does. It made the whole experience feel premium before I even picked them up. That kind of attention to detail sets the tone, and they delivered on what was inside too. The build quality is solid. They’ve got a nice weight to them—not heavy in a bad way, but reassuring, like you’re holding something well-made. The rubber exterior feels great in hand, grippy and comfortable, which makes a difference when you’re trying to stay steady. Now the best part: the image quality. Compared to my old flea market binoculars, these are on a completely different level. The clarity is insane. It genuinely feels like you’re right there with whatever you’re looking at. The image fills your vision in a way that’s immersive through both lenses, and the focus is quick and easy to dial in, which I didn’t expect as a beginner. My main use for these will be long-range shooting, and I already know they’re going to be a huge asset. But honestly, they’re so good I’m planning to bring them along to work and just about anywhere else. They’ve already earned a permanent spot in my gear. Overall, I absolutely recommend these based on clarity, build quality, and overall experience. For a first pair, they’ve set the bar really high—and I can already tell these are going to be a long-term companion on a lot of adventures. ## Frequently Bought Together - Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Pentax AD 8x25 WP Binoculars suitable for outdoor live event travel or even mountaineering,Green - Sawyer Products SP5432 Picaridin Insect Repellent Spray, 20%, Pump, 3-Ounce, (Pack of 2) (Packaging may vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/27759820-midas-uhd-8x42-binoculars-ed-glass-gray-waterproof](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/27759820-midas-uhd-8x42-binoculars-ed-glass-gray-waterproof) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
