Leupold BX-3 Alpine HD 12 Binocular

Product Description

The Leupold BX-3 Alpine HD 12 Binocular is a 12x50mm binocular in Shadow Gray. The 12 means the view is magnified twelve times. The 50mm objective lenses set the size of the front glass.

Three features stand out on this model. It has 15mm of eye relief, which is the distance your eyes can sit behind the eyepieces. It carries Guard-Ion coating on the glass. It also has a 1/4-20 tripod thread adaptor, so you can mount it on a tripod instead of holding it by hand.

Who it suits

A 12x binocular is built for long looks at distant ground. Hunters who glass basins, ridgelines and open hillsides will understand the appeal. Wildlife watchers and anyone who scans from a fixed spot, like a truck tailgate or a blind, can use that reach too. If you want a wider, easier view for quick scanning on the move, a lower magnification is a different tool.

At this magnification, many people like to pair a binocular with a support. The 1/4-20 thread lets you use a tripod or mount that takes a standard 1/4-20 screw. A binocular harness or chest pack keeps it close and quiet on the hike. A rangefinder is a natural partner once you spot something worth measuring.
