Levenhuk Kelvin Snap 8x42 Binoculars

Binoculars with roof prisms, equipped with an objective lens with a diameter of 42 mm and a complete set for photographing and recording images using a smartphone. With the ability to achieve 8x optical magnification, they allow you to observe distant objects and record them directly in the phone's memory.

The included smartphone adapter, tripod and Bluetooth remote shutter allow you to start using it quickly without having to assemble additional accessories. The model is ideal for birdwatching, wildlife or landscape observation. It can be used as a classic binocular or as a digiscoping set, in which the phone screen is used for image preview and framing.

The body of the device is made of steel and plastic. Its surface has a subtly textured finish that improves grip security and makes it easier to hold the binoculars steadily. The contoured housing has been designed to fit well in the hands.

The model meets the IP67 protection rating, meaning complete protection against dust and immersion in water for up to 30 minutes at a depth of up to 1 meter. The inside of the body is filled with nitrogen. This gas reduces the risk of water vapour condensing on the internal surfaces of the lenses, especially during sudden temperature changes.

The binoculars provide 8x magnification and are equipped with 42 mm objective lenses responsible for the optimal amount of light reaching the optical system. The exit pupil has a diameter of 5,3 mm, and the relative brightness is 27,6. These parameters support a clear image in various lighting conditions.

The binoculars have a field of view of 7 degrees, which is 123 meters at a distance of 1000 meters. Such a wide frame makes it easier to observe larger areas and track moving objects. The user can find the observed object more quickly and keep it in the field of view without having to change the binocular position frequently.

The minimum focusing distance is 2 meters. Thanks to this, the model is suitable not only for observing distant objects, but also for viewing elements located relatively close by.

One of the device's most important functions is the ability to record images using a smartphone. The included adapter allows the phone lens to be aligned with the eyepiece axis, so the camera can take photos and record the image magnified by the binocular optical system. The Bluetooth remote shutter allows the phone camera to be triggered without touching its housing.

The mount included in the set has a universal design and works with virtually all smartphones. It allows you to mount the phone behind the binocular eyepiece and properly align the camera with the optical axis. Once the smartphone is mounted, the screen can serve as a viewfinder. This makes framing, previewing the observed image and monitoring the recording easier.

The set includes a metal tabletop tripod, which provides stable support for the binoculars during observation, photography and recording. The device can also be mounted on a photographic tripod using a standard 1/4" thread. The included adapter enables quick connection of the binoculars to the tripod included in the set.

The binocular optical system uses prisms made of BK-7 glass. The Fully Multi-Coated multilayer coatings reduce light reflections on the lens surfaces, increase its transmission through the optical system and help achieve a brighter, more contrast-rich image with natural colour reproduction. This solution improves detail clarity and observation comfort in various lighting conditions.

The central focus wheel allows the image to be quickly adjusted to the changing distance of the observed object. The binoculars are also equipped with dioptre adjustment of the eyepiece in the range of +/- 3 dioptres. This makes it possible to compensate for differences in sharpness between the left and right eye. The interpupillary distance can be adjusted in the range of 56-74 mm.

The Twist-Up eyecups have 3 fixed positions. They can be extended or retracted depending on the observation method. Users who wear glasses can use the eyecups in the retracted position, reducing the distance between the eyes and the eyepieces. People observing without glasses can extend the eyecups to gain more comfortable support and reduce the amount of side light entering.
