As a fan of quality optics, this is great news. Meopta has a reputation for outstanding glass, which is basically the high end stuff, without the high end price. Although not as popular as other brands, they are well regarded by those in the know.
TAMPA, FL, July 12, 2022 –Meopta Sport Optics is now shipping the new MeoPro HD Plus binoculars. Available in 10×42 and 8×56 models, this Gen 2 version of the award-winning MeoPro binocular line features an upgraded HD optical system, delivering sharper, brighter images and better contrast than previous models. The edge-to-edge clarity, wide field of view, and outstanding low-light performance make this mid-priced line a top choice among hunters seeking high performance and value.
The focus wheel has been redesigned for a smoother, faster, and more precise focus. The modern exterior, with durable rubber armoring, provides a better and more comfortable grip in all weather conditions. The lightweight magnesium alloy body is built to withstand the most brutal hunting conditions and is tripod adapter ready. Twist-up eyecups are metal with a soft rubber exterior, making them extremely durable and comfortable while eliminating the risk of breakage. They are also designed for easy removal and cleaning.
“The new MeoPro HD Plus binoculars deliver an improved user experience,” said Erik Muller, Product Specialist, Meopta Sport Optics. “The advanced lens coatings and new optical system deliver outstanding low-light performance, allowing hunters to see fine details in challenging conditions. Improved handling and comfort are also key upgrades.“
Meopta‘s MeoShield anti-abrasion lens coating offers added protection to exterior lenses while the MeoDrop hydrophobic lens coating easily repels rain. The diopter adjustment is located under the right eyepiece. Both models are nitrogen purged, shockproof, and fully sealed for fogproof and waterproof performance in the most demanding conditions. Like all Meopta optics sold in the United States, they are backed by Meopta‘s Lifetime Transferrable Warranty.
