Swarovski CL Companion III 8x30 Safari Brown

Swarovski presents the new CL Companion III 8x30 binoculars – here in Safari Brown – in a revised design and with improved optics.Light and compact companions that deliver brilliant images during hunting and nature observation – these have long been the CL Companion binoculars from Swarovski. Now, the company based in Tyrol has extensively optimized the successful series and launched a 3rd generation. The CL Companion III 8x30 in Safari Brown is the version for those for whom the field of view is the main criterion.

The Housing
At first glance, the CL Companion III 8x30 binoculars differ from its predecessor model by the elegantly designed bridge. In black, it completely encompasses the two tubes in Safari Brown and forms a unit with the also black-edged rotating eyecups. The eyecups have been enlarged, resulting in a clear line in the design without steps in the housing. The additional 60 g that the new version weighs is hardly noticeable. Even at 550 g, the binoculars are still lightweight in the compact dimensions of 129x113x56 mm. They fit ergonomically in the hands, and operation is intuitive with the comfortable focusing wheel. The binoculars are pressure waterproof up to a depth of 4 m and filled with gas to prevent internal fogging. They are delivered in a bag in Swarovski green.

The Optics
The CL Companion III 8x30 binoculars have a large field of view of 140 m at 1,000 m, a full 8 m more than its predecessor. This ensures a consistently good overview in the area, and during ornithological observation, one does not easily lose sight of the circling birds. The optical system is coated with the proven SwaroVision technology and delivers color-accurate, razor-sharp, as well as contrast-rich and detail-rich images up to the edge. The 30-mm objective provides a transmission value of 90% and a twilight number of 15.5.
