Levenhuk Kelvin Snap Binoculars 8x42

Binoculars with a roof prism system, equipped with an objective lens with a 42 mm diameter and a complete set for photographing and recording images using a smartphone. The ability to achieve 8x optical magnification allows observation of distant objects and saving them directly to the phone memory.

The included smartphone adapter, tripod, and remote Bluetooth shutter let you get started quickly without the need to choose additional accessories. The model works well for observing birds, wildlife, or landscapes. It can work as classic binoculars or as a digiscoping set, where the phone screen is used for image preview and framing.

The body of the device is made of steel and plastic. The surface features a subtly textured finish, which improves grip confidence and makes it easier to hold the binoculars steadily. The contoured housing was designed to sit comfortably in the hands.

The model meets the IP67 protection rating, which means complete protection against dust and resistance to 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 condensing on the internal surfaces of the lenses, especially during sudden temperature changes.

The binoculars provide 8x 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 5.3 mm, and the relative brightness is 27.6. These parameters help achieve a clear image in various lighting conditions.

The binoculars have a field of view of 7 degrees, which is 123 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 more quickly and keep it in the field of view without the need to frequently change the binoculars' 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 by.

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 photograph and record the image magnified by the binoculars' optical system. The Bluetooth remote shutter allows the phone camera to be triggered without touching its body.

The mount included in the set has a universal design and works with virtually all smartphones. It allows you to attach the phone behind the binocular eyepiece and properly position the camera relative to the optical axis. Once the smartphone is mounted, the screen can serve as a viewfinder. This makes framing, previewing the observed image, and controlling the recording easier.

The set includes a metal tabletop 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.

The binocular optical system uses prisms made of BK-7 glass. Multi-layer (Fully Multi-Coated) coatings reduce light reflections on the lens surfaces, increase its transmission through the optical system, and help achieve a brighter, higher-contrast image with natural colour reproduction. This solution improves detail clarity and viewing comfort in various lighting conditions.

The central focus knob allows the image to be quickly adjusted to the changing distance of the observed object. The binoculars are also equipped with dioptre adjustment for the eyepiece in the range of +/- 3 dioptres. This 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 viewing method. People who wear glasses can use the eyecups in the retracted position, reducing the distance between the eyes and the eyepieces. Users without glasses can extend the eyecups for more comfortable support and to reduce side light entry.
