Swarovski BTX binocular spotting scope

Observing for hours with absolute concentration, immersing yourself in eternal moments, discovering the finest details – this is what the BTX has to offer, combining the benefits of a spotting scope and binoculars. We are presenting the most revolutionary viewing experience ever. The unique binocular system uses the visual power of both eyes and enables observers to overcome limitations and become one with their environment.

The joy of observing nature enriches our life and allows us to discover its wonders from a new perspective every time. Immersing yourself deeply in the scenery, seeing things that have remained hidden until now, perceiving the finest details that tell the biggest stories. Observing for hours without losing concentration, forgetting the world around you, experiencing the preciousness of the moment – this is what the BTX was designed for.

The BTX is compatible with all objective modules in the ATX/STX family, and a suite of perfectly adapted accessories enhances the user experience. This range of options makes the BTX an ideal companion for anyone who would like to experience the beauty of nature in brilliant quality and with maximum comfort and intensity without getting tired.

Getting closer

The crystal clear SWAROVISION technology reproduces even the smallest details with color fidelity and razor-sharpness right to the edge of the field of view. The BTX has a 30x or 35x magnification, according to the objective module chosen. This magnification can be quickly and easily increased to 50x or 60x by using the ME 1.7x magnification extender, available as an optional accessory. The proprietary bayonet system allows the extender to be mounted to any of the objective and eyepiece modules in the ATX/STX/BTX family.

Natural viewing comfort 

Particular priority was placed on maximizing viewing comfort. Since the binocular system reflects natural vision, the image seems extraordinarily vivid. Viewing with both eyes also means avoiding strenuous squinting. The angled view helps to ensure maximum comfort when observing for long periods of time. The innovative, smoothly adjustable forehead rest, which can be fully retracted if desired, makes it more relaxing when exploring. An aiming aid is integrated above the right eyepiece and the birder only needs to glance up to find the target quickly.

Maximum stability in any situation

The new BR balance rail and PTH professional tripod head are optional accessories that help to ensure the whole system is extremely stable. The rail can be adjusted separately to perfectly balance the BTX. With its integrated fluid system, the tripod head allows the spotting scope to move evenly and smoothly during observation. When adjusted correctly, it keeps the whole spotting scope reliably stable even when it is not fixed.

#Closer2Nature – Enjoy the BTX live

 

The BTX binocular spotting scope will be available from May 2017.

Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 42

Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 42 – The new generation of binoculars with improved optical performance
A decisive role in this is played by new coating methods that deposit thin films of special substances on the lens surfaces under ultra-high vacuum in a so-called high temperature plasma process. In addition to this, the prisms of the new binoculars are made from specially formulated SCHOTT glasses with exceptional transmission characteristics (SCHOTT HT glasses). The significantly increased light transmission, particularly in the blue-violet band, ensures not only higher image brightness, but also better colour transmission and considerably improved twilight vision.

In addition to a brighter viewing image, the Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 42 binoculars therefore also offer increased contrast performance in all viewing situations, and particularly in unfavourable light.

The Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 42 models are available with 7×, 8× and 10× magnification and are identified by an engraved ‘HD’ in red on the strap lugs of the binoculars.

Otherwise, all the proven features of the Leica Ultravid HD family remain unchanged in the new HD-Plus 42 binoculars – first and foremost, high-quality optics, mechanical excellence and user-friendly design. The binoculars feature exceptionally high-quality lenses that reduce flare to an absolute minimum. This guarantees excellent colours and contrast, outstanding image brightness, clarity and optimum resolution of details. Here, innovative AquaDura® coating ensures a crystal-clear view in all weathers and protects the lenses against scratching and abrasion. In terms of handling, the binoculars are ideally matched to their users’ needs and frequent use under even the most extreme viewing conditions. The shock-absorbent armouring protects the binoculars against damage while also providing excellent grip for safe and steady handling.

The new Leica Ultravid HD-Plus 42 binoculars will be available from authorised Leica dealers from November 2014. Each model is supplied complete with a padded, high-quality Cordura case for optimum product protection. Also included are front lens and eyepiece caps and a contoured neoprene carrying strap.
