Endeavor ED Features

Premium ED Glass

Vanguard’s Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass significantly reduces chromatic aberrations, allowing clear, sharp viewing with high contrast.

MultiGuard Coatings

Vanguard’s MultiGuard coatings provide multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds resulting in optimal light transmission and producing a remarkably clear field of view.

Waterproof and Fogproof

Vanguard’s O-ring seals completely to prevent moisture, dust and debris from entering the optics. Nitrogen purging prevents fogging in extreme weather conditions.

Locking Diopter

The diopter lets users adjust the focus to accommodate differences between each of their eyes. The diopter rings lock so that adjustments don’t need to be made before each use.

Product Description

Vanguard's Endeavor ED binoculars provide nature and outdoor enthusiasts high performance features at an incredible value. Premium ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass with MultiGuard coatings allow for sharp, bright images and high contrast even in low-light conditions. The ED glass aligns the colors to meet at the same focal plane to reduce the chromatic aberration and obtain the highest resolution and image contrast. As a result, the image is sharper.

Endeavor ED features an ergonomic, open-bridge design that's comfortable to use, along with a lightweight magnesium alloy body, large center focus wheel, and 3 stage twist out eyecups, . Nitrogen-charged and O-ring sealed, the Endeavor ED is water and fog proof to take on challenging weather conditions. Emerald Coating is specifically designed to provide the full spectrum of color within the band of green tones. This coating is essential for nature enthusiasts, because it ensures the most vivid and natural shades of green.

P2 Phase Coating was developed for enhanced image clarity and true color reproduction. Vanguard's P2 phase-coated BaK4 prisms creates crystal clear images and high resolution observation. V-Max Silver Coating provides crisper, more vivid images and sharper contrast due to impressive light reflection. Anti-Reflection Coating on all air-to-surface lenses dramatically minimizes light reflection on the lens. Coupled with fully multi-coated treatment, it ensures near perfect light transmission and image recognition, enabling the brightest images possible, even on the sunniest days.

Customers like the focus wheel of the telescope. They mention that it's easy to use, and the close focusing is exceptional.

Sweet!
5 Stars
Sweet!
It is true, you pay for what you get. These cost a bit more than other binos, yet the reasoning of pay more now to save in the long term I think applies as these are truly sweet. Very clear, easy to use, happy with purchase.
