| Description: | The Gemini Waterproof series are heavy-duty giant binoculars. Everything about these instruments says "quality." Their attractive rubber armoring and hefty all-metal CNC-machined and cast aluminum construction is guaranteed to last for many years to come. The optical quality measures up to that of the precision mechanics, which makes these excellent instruments for astronomical and wildlife observation. The Gemini 15x70 WP features oversize prisms, long 18mm eye relief and wide-angle 60-degree apparent field-of-view oculars for a picture-window view. Fully broadband multi-coated optics and BAK4 prisms farther enhance image quality. Smooth, CNC-machined individual focusers provide the precision focusing essential for maximum performance on astronomical targets. Every binocular is filled with dry nitrogen gas to help prevent internal fogging due to sudden changes in temperature. Collimation can be adjusted by experienced users, if necessary. Each binocular is covered by Garrett Opticals two-year warranty and is individually tested for collimation prior to shipping, and any necessary adjustments are performed by the experienced hand of former U.S. Navy Opticalman Cory Suddarth of Suddarth Optical Repair. An added perk is that every GeminiTM Waterproof binocular comes with a deluxe heavy-duty carrying case with durable PVC armoring and aluminum trim lined with soft, egg-crate-style foam for maximum protection. The 15x70 WP model is a beautifully-made binocular, with optics and mechanics worthy of respect even when compared to premium giant binoculars costing many times as much. A 4° field and moderate weight of just 4 lbs., 2.5 oz. make this binocular an excellent choice for lighter-duty mounts. This is a binocular that could easily provide a lifetime of outstanding performance for astronomy, hunting or other long-range low-light terrestrial observations. |
