Optical Features

Vortex 12x50 Viper HD Roof Prism Binoculars feature HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass that delivers impressive resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crystal clear high definition images. Vortex's proprietary XR Fully Multi-Coating is applied on all air-to-glass surfaces to vastly improve and increase light transmission. Multi-Layer Dielectric Prism Coatings provide bright, clear, color-accurate images while phase correction coating enhances the roof prism's resolution and contrast.

Construction Features

The Vortex Optics Viper HD binoculars feature waterproof O-ring seals to prevent moisture, dust and debris from penetrating the binocular to give you consistent, reliable performance in all environments. Fogproof argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures. Exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek, which is an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating that protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt. The rubber armored exterior provides a secure, non-slip grip, and durable external protection. A lightweight, short-hinge design gives you improved ergonomics and handling so that you can keep on going after hours of exploring. From a physical size and weight perspective, these binoculars are one of the lightest, most compact, full-size binos on the market.

Convenience Features

12x50 Viper HD binoculars feature adjustable eyecups that you can move up and down for precise, intermediate settings to maximize your custom fit for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. A center focus wheel adjusts the focus of both binocular barrels at the same time and dials in your image for sharp viewing. A locking diopter adjusts for differences in a user's eyes; one is located on the right eyepiece. The 12x50 Viper HD is compatible with a tripod adapter, allowing use on a tripod or car window mount.

Celestron NeXYZ Universal 3-Axis Smartphone Adapter

The Celestron NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter is a great first step into the world of astroimaging or digiscoping. This adapter provides you everything you need to capture sharp, detailed images and video. NexYZ fits any eyepiece from 35 to 60mm in diameter, including telescopes equipped with 1.25 or 2 inch eyepieces, spotting scopes, monoculars, and binoculars. It also attaches to microscopes with the addition of an included adapter ring, which takes the usable diameter down to 25mm, the size of a standard microscope eyepiece.

Compatibility

NexYZ accommodates a wide range of smartphones including the larger devices like the iPhone 11 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on. The secure platform stands up to the weight of these heavier devices with ease, thanks to NexYZ’s strong metal spring and threaded twist lock.

3-Axis Adjustment

What makes NexYZ’s patented design different from other smartphone adapters? It’s the three-axis adjustment. Most adapters rely on you placing your phone perfectly on the platform and only offer limited adjustment in two axes. But NexYZ gives you the power to place your phone on the platform, center it over the eyepiece with the X and Y knobs, and then move up or down over the eyepiece until you have the entire field of view in your shot.

Quick Adjustment

And even though this adjustment is ultra-precise, it’s still quicker and easier to use than other adapters. From start to finish, the process only takes about 30 seconds, including the time it takes to insert the phone into NexYZ, attach NexYZ to an eyepiece, start the camera app, and center the camera over the eyepiece using the knobs. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X-, Y-, and Z-axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece.

Easy To Use

Switching phones, eyepieces, or optical instruments, requires only slight adjustments to re-center the camera over the new eyepiece. If multiple people want to capture a shot through your optic, NexYZ’s simple spring-loaded clamps make it easy to remove one device and replace it with another in seconds. NexYZ is the ideal solution for star parties and group bird walks where everyone wants their own shot of the action.
