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 | #21 in Camera & Photo Products ( See Top 100 in Camera & Photo Products ) #19 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 1,637 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 ![8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LYTCGXyRL.jpg) ![8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zb9SVQaqL.jpg) ![8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91YeP-O7y0L.jpg) ![8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dlxeavlLL.jpg) ![8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars with ED Glass for Adults and Kids, High-Powered Binoculars for Hunting, Birdwatching, and More - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812+7UyhRFL.jpg) ## 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. The binoculars have an adjustable and comfortable neck strap. **Q: Does it come with lens protectors and a case?** A: Yes **Q: What's inside the box?

Great value! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value, great viewing *by R***R on November 30, 2025* I absolutely love the Athlon Optics 8x42 Midas UHD Gray Binoculars! The clarity is outstanding — the ED glass really makes a difference, giving me crisp, bright images even in lower light. They feel solid and well-built without being too heavy, and the focus wheel is smooth and easy to adjust. They’re perfect for all kinds of use, but honestly… they’re extra great for checking out the neighborhood! 😉 The wide field of view makes it easy to spot details, and the image is sharp edge-to-edge. Comfortable, high-powered, and excellent quality for the price.
