After adjusting the individual focus eyepieces to your particular eyesight, you are then free to observe objects from their minimum focal distance of approximately 100m all the way to infinity without ever the need to change focus again.
Tripod adaptable, for best results and a completely, shake-free image, it is recommended that you attach them to a tripod when you use these binoculars.
An impressive aspect is the long eye relief, which at 19.5mm should be more than adequate for those who wear eyeglasses.

Powerful Echelon series is made using the best build materials and modern optical technology. Aluminum housing makes them extremely durable and rubber armouring which wraps the construction helps to make them resistant to impacts. The surface of the armoring is rugged which helps with non-slip grip to firmly hold them in hands, very convenient when carrying these heavier binoculars. Tightly sealed construction helps to block out the penetration of water and dust, which makes them well protected even if you use them in the rain. They are also purged with nitrogen gas to prevent the internal fogging, making them fog-proof when quick temperature changes occur. Due to its size and power it’s highly recommended mounting them to a tripod, therefore Echelon integrates tripod adaptable screw that helps with steady images.
Echelon is equipped with glass manufactured in Japan and assembled by skilled technicians in USA. These binoculars are equipped with high-quality BaK-4 glass prisms and together with phase correction also fully multi-coated system. Using special XLT coatings that help to enhance light transmission of these already incredibly bright Porro prism binoculars, the images won’t be only bright but also rich in contrast and colors. Different distortions such as chromatic aberration or internal reflections are eliminated, providing incredibly clear images even during low-light conditions. They are also equipped with individual focusing that allow you to make fine adjustments by using both diopters separately. Eye-relief is incredibly generous with Echelon binoculars to make them perfect for eye glass wearers. Foldable eyecups help to position your eyes at a perfect distance without vignetting effect.
Echelon binoculars come with hard waterproof carrying case with strap that additionally protects binoculars against moisture and dust. Additional foam padding keeps them safe against impacts.
