Vixen Ark 12x80 BCF
This Vixen Ark 12x80 BCF porro binoculars can be considered the true light gathering giant among the Vixen binoculars. The multi-coated lenses are so integrated in the viewer that, in combination with the Bak-4 prisms, they deliver a spotlessly clean and realistic picture. The viewer ensures high brightness and high resolution, even in twilight conditions. Both models are filled with nitrogen gas and consequently fully waterproof. Also, the binoculars in the Ark-series have plastic eyecups so that they can be precisely set in order to meet your needs. This makes these binoculars ideal for extended use during hunting or sports events.
Tripod connection
The binoculars in the Ark series distinguish themselves by the robust and adjustable tripod connection that runs over the axis of the viewer. This gives you more stability while providing flexibility during your observations.
The Vixen Ark is available in four models:

I purchased this viewer because I needed to have binoculars with very high magnification.
These binoculars have really lived up to my expectations and I happily use them every day when I go out to explore the sky at night. You do need a tripod really to keep the image steady.
