Levenhuk Kelvin Snap Binoculars 10x42
Binoculars with a roof prism system, equipped with a 42 mm objective lens and a complete set for photography and image recording using a smartphone. The 10x optical magnification allows you to observe distant objects and save the image directly to the phone's memory.
The included smartphone adapter, tripod and Bluetooth remote shutter allow you to get started quickly without the need to choose additional accessories. The model is well suited to birdwatching, wildlife observation or landscape viewing. It can work as classic binoculars or as a digiscoping set, where the phone screen is used for image preview and framing.
durable construction meeting the ip67 standard
The body of the device is made of steel and plastic. The surface has a lightly textured finish that improves grip confidence and makes it easier to hold the binoculars steadily. The contoured housing was developed to fit comfortably in the hands.
The model meets the IP67 protection rating, meaning complete protection against dust and immersion in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 metre. The inside of the body is filled with nitrogen. The gas reduces the risk of water vapour condensation on the internal surfaces of the lenses, especially during rapid temperature changes.
optical parameters
The binoculars provide 10x magnification and are equipped with 42 mm objective lenses, responsible for the optimal amount of light reaching the optical system. The exit pupil has a diameter of 4.2 mm, and the relative brightness is 17.6. These parameters support a clear image in various lighting conditions.
The field of view of the binoculars is 5.8 degrees, or 102 metres at a distance of 1000 metres. The wide frame makes it easier to observe larger areas and track moving objects. It allows you to find the observed object faster and keep it in the field of view without needing to frequently change the binocular position.
The minimum focusing distance is 2 metres. Thanks to this, the model is suitable not only for observing distant objects, but also for viewing elements located relatively close.
image recording with a smartphone
One of the key functions of the device is the ability to record images using a smartphone. The included adapter allows the phone lens to be aligned with the eyepiece axis, so the camera can take photos and record the image magnified by the binocular optical system. The Bluetooth remote shutter allows the phone camera to be triggered without touching its housing.
The mount included in the set has a universal design and works with virtually all smartphones. It allows you to mount the phone behind the binocular eyepiece and properly align the camera with the optical axis. After mounting the smartphone, the screen can serve as a viewfinder. This makes framing, previewing the observed image and monitoring the recording easier.
The set includes a metal table tripod, which provides stable support for the binoculars during observation, photography and recording. The device can also be mounted on a photographic tripod using a standard 1/4" thread. The included adapter allows quick connection of the binoculars to the tripod included in the set.
Fully Multi-Coated multilayer optical coatings, bk-7 glass
The optical system of the binoculars uses prisms made of BK-7 glass. (Fully Multi-Coated) multilayer coatings reduce light reflections on the lens surfaces, increase transmission through the optical system and help achieve a brighter, higher-contrast image with natural colour reproduction. This solution improves detail visibility and observation comfort in various lighting conditions.
adjustment, twist-up eyecups
The central focus knob allows quick adjustment of the image to the changing distance of the observed object. The binoculars are also equipped with dioptre adjustment of the eyepiece in the range of +/- 3 dioptres. This solution makes it possible to compensate for differences in sharpness between the left and right eye. The interpupillary distance can be adjusted within the range of 56-74 mm.
Twist-Up eyecups have 3 fixed positions. They can be extended or retracted depending on the observation method. Users who wear glasses can use the eyecups in the retracted position, reducing the distance between the eyes and the eyepieces. People observing without glasses can extend the eyecups to gain more comfortable support and limit incoming side light.
