Barska 10x25 Blackhawk Waterproof Monocular

The Barska 10x25 Blackhawk is a compact, waterproof monocular that delivers 10x magnification with multi-coated BAK-4 optics for crisp, reliable views outdoors.

This lightweight Blackhawk monocular is designed for people who need a small, durable optic for birdwatching, hiking, concerts or sports. Built with a nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed housing and shock-absorbing rubber armor, it resists water and fog while remaining easy to hold thanks to a diamond-cut textured grip. The 25mm objective and fully multi-coated lenses produce bright images at 10x power, and the twist-up eyecup and 11mm eye relief make it comfortable for extended use and eyeglass wearers. A compact carrying case, wrist strap and lens cloth are included, and the body is tripod adaptable for stationary observation.

How clear are images with the 10x25 Blackhawk?

The Blackhawk uses a BAK-4 roof prism and fully multi-coated optics to boost light transmission and contrast, producing sharp, well-defined images for its size. While it won’t match large binoculars in low light, it performs strongly in daylight conditions and mid-light situations.

• Magnification: 10x for close-up details at distance
• Objective lens: 25mm balances brightness with compactness
• BAK-4 prism for improved edge clarity and contrast
• Multi-coated lenses reduce reflections and increase light throughput

Will this monocular work in wet or foggy weather?

Yes — the Blackhawk is nitrogen-purged and O-ring sealed to prevent internal fogging and to keep moisture out, so it continues to function reliably in rain, snow or humid environments. The rubber armor also absorbs light impacts and helps maintain grip when conditions are slick.

• 100% waterproof and fogproof construction
• Shock-absorbing rubber housing for extra durability
• Diamond-cut textured grip for secure handling
• Includes lens covers to protect optics when not in use

How easy is the Blackhawk to carry and use during activities?

This monocular is tailored for portability: it’s small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or pack and light to hold for prolonged observation. Focusing is done by the eyepiece, and the twist-up eyecup plus 11mm eye relief provides comfort whether you wear glasses or not.

• Compact footprint ideal for hiking, concerts, sports
• Eyepiece focus for quick adjustments on the fly
• Long eye relief and twist-up eyecup for comfort
• Tripod adaptable for steady, hands-free viewing (tripod not included)
