Alpen Optics APEX Steady HD 20x42 with image stabilizer

The Alpen Optics Apex Steady 20x42 HD binoculars with 2-mode image stabilization ensures steady images while scanning the surroundings and observing details.Absolutely steady images at an impressive 20x magnification – this is made possible by the Apex Steady 20x42 HD binoculars from Alpen Optics thanks to its 2-mode image stabilization. The binoculars are equipped with an excellent optical system housed in a robust casing. The 20x42 version is the model in the Apex Steady series for those who want to observe at greater distances. Despite its strong magnification, it still provides a field of view of 58 m at 1,000 m.

The Image Stabilizer
The Apex Steady 20x42 HD employs the latest stabilization technology. The binoculars feature an optical prism compensation with a 2-axis gimbal. Additionally, the stabilizer has a 2-mode function. Mode 1 is optimized for scanning wide areas. Mode 2, the ultra-stabilized mode, is designed for detailed recognition of a single object.

The Optics
The prism system of the binoculars is made of BaK-4 glass (Barium Crown Glass). This delivers brighter and sharper images than the materials typically used. The HD lenses are coated with UBX multi-coating and PXA phase coating. These coatings ensure high light transmission and provide contrast-rich, detailed, clear images. Thanks to the LPE lens coating (Lotus Pearl Effect), which causes water to bead off, rain does not affect the quality. The roof prism optimally directs light to the eye with its SHR coating (Super High Reflection). The LE eyepieces and twist-up eyecups make the binoculars easily suitable for eyeglass wearers. The increased eye relief ensures that even with the eyecups twisted down, the field of view is not compromised.

The Housing
Optics and electronics are housed in a robust casing with a protective and tactile rubber coating. Operation is intuitive. The binoculars are splash-proof according to IPX 4 and are filled with nitrogen to prevent internal fogging due to temperature fluctuations. The stabilizer is powered by a standard AA battery (included).
