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: Everything I needed and more… - Owning a high-quality pair of binoculars has been a long-time goal, and the Athlon Midas G1 delivers exactly that. For the price, the clarity and overall performance are excellent—easily competing with more expensive options. While the G2 version offers minor refinements, the difference isn’t significant enough for most users to justify the higher cost. The G1 already provides sharp, bright, and crisp images. Build quality feels solid and slightly premium in hand. The included case and strap are decent and practical. The only downside is the weight—it can cause some hand fatigue after 5–10 minutes of continuous use while standing. That said, image quality remains consistently clear. Setup is simple, and once adjusted for your eyes, it’s very easy to use. Great value and a strong choice for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Review: Great vision clarity - Wow! These are really good binoculars! I have a pair of Leica binoculars and these are equally great. They're beautiful, excellent for clarity, good size and weight and fantastic image quality. Great value! ## 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 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparent Angle of View | 65 Degrees | | Best Sellers Rank | #19 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #18 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 out of 5 stars 1,657 Reviews | | Diopter Adjustment Range | +/-3 diopters | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 10 Years | | Enclosure Material | Magnesium | | 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 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 | | Objective Lens Diameter | 42 | | Prism Type | Roof Prism | | Size Map | Full Size | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Specific Uses | Bird Watching, Hiking & Outdoors, Hunting and Shooting or Sports | | Specific Uses For Product | Bird Watching, Hiking & Outdoors, Hunting and Shooting or Sports | | UPC | 751738575321 813869020092 | | Unit Count | 1.0 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 - 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.

I have a pair of Leica binoculars and these are equally great. They're beautiful, excellent for clarity, good size and weight and fantastic image quality. Great value! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best binoculars for the money. Super bright and sharp viewing. *by E***D on April 26, 2026* 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. ## 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.jp/products/27759820-midas-uhd-8x42](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/27759820-midas-uhd-8x42) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
