Design and Build

The UpClose G2 uses two roof prisms paired with auxiliary prisms and BK-7 optical glass, with multi-coated surfaces to boost light transmission. The straight-line optical path keeps the body slim and easy to carry, while coatings help produce brighter, more contrasty images. The rugged, armor-protected chassis is wrapped in rubber for a secure grip and durable handling in a range of environments. They’re water resistant and built to stand up to the bumps and splashes of daily use.

• Rubber-armored, lightweight chassis offers durable, non-slip handling

Comfort and Handling

Viewers with or without glasses can enjoy a comfortable experience thanks to soft rubber eyecups that can be folded down or kept up as needed. Ergonomic thumb indents and finger ridges help maintain a steady grip, reducing fatigue during longer sessions. The 8x magnification provides a solid balance between detail and field of view, while a close focus of 10 feet lets you examine nearby subjects with meaningful detail.
