Following the success of the full-size 'BV' binoculars, Minox have extended the 'BV' range with a compact version which includes many of the quality and build features found in the full-size versions.
They are set to replace the existing non-waterproof 8x24 & 10x25 BD compact range, and with full waterproofing, a sturdy aluminium body, twist up eyecups, large focus wheel and new-design rubber armouring they are more than worthy successors, especially as both pairs will have an RRP of £99.00.
They focus down to 1.5m, weigh just 260g and measure just 109mm x 98mm x 39mm at their full extension. The right eye diopter can be adjusted to +/- 3dpt and both pairs have a 15.5mm eye relief.
The first deliveries will arrive in the UK in the first week of November.
