HDX™ GLASS is completed by LENSARMOR™, LENSHIELD™ and SPECTRACOAT™ coatings through Schmidt-Pechan roof prisms, over a 3.8-degree field of view (approximately 66 m at 1,000 m) with 14mm of eye relief behind twist-up eye cups. The Flat Dark Earth chassis is IPX-7 waterproof and fog-proof rated, measures approximately 180 x 70 x 120 mm (7.08 x 2.75 x 4.72 in) and focuses to 4.0 m (13.1 ft); it is tripod mount capable, and a foam carrying case and neck strap are supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZULU6 HDX 16x42 is where the range stops being a walking binocular and starts being a glassing tool.
