Product Description
Opticron Aurora BGA VHD Pro Field Binoculars – Waterproof, Compact & Lightweight
Premium Performance in a Lightweight Design
The Opticron Aurora BGA VHD sets a new benchmark for pro field binoculars. Built on an entirely new optical platform, it delivers exceptional brightness, sharpness, and comfort in a compact, lightweight design. With a wider field of view, closer focusing, and an impressively large sweet spot, it offers clarity that will surprise even the most discerning eyes.
Advanced VHD Optical System
Featuring Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass objectives, field flattening technology, and phase-corrected prisms with Oasis coatings, the Aurora produces ultra-sharp, flat-field vision with excellent colour fidelity. Combined with advanced S-H multi-coating on all air-to-glass surfaces, these binoculars maximise light transmission for bright, high-contrast images in all conditions.
Durable, Weatherproof & Comfortable
Constructed around a magnesium alloy single-hinge body with a textured rubber armour, the Aurora is tough yet lightweight. Fully nitrogen-filled and waterproof to 5m (16ft), it’s built to handle any environment. Long eye relief with 4-stage twist-up eyecups ensures comfort for spectacle wearers, while a central dioptre adjuster provides fine-tuned focusing.
