The Vanguard Endeavor series of optical instruments has always symbolized the desire to create the most innovative products in its industry at the most competitive price. And the Vanguard Endeavor ED 10x42 WP binoculars fully allow us to assess how great this desire was, and how successful the implementation was.
Given that the Vanguard Endeavor ED 10x42 WP lenses use low-dispersion ED glass with the proprietary Advanced MultiGuard® coating, Coatings, the prisms have phase correction and a highly reflective silver coating V-Max, and the magnesium housing is sealed to IPX7 protection class and filled with nitrogen, then, of course, the excellent light transmission properties, accurate color reproduction, high resolution and image contrast, as well as waterproofness, shock resistance and protection against condensation of this model are beyond doubt.
But, perhaps, the main distinguishing feature of all Vanguard products is the genuine pleasure that you get from using them. And the Vanguard Endeavor ED 10x42 WP binoculars are no exception. The build quality, selected materials, precision of mechanical components and convenience of accessories can be appreciated from the first acquaintance with the binoculars. The two-hinged housing design with an open bridge deserves special attention. Such a solution certainly increases the rigidity of the entire housing. But this is not the main thing. It is worth picking up binoculars with an open bridge just once to feel the convenience of its use and the advantages of such a design.
This model can be recommended as a universal binocular, which, thanks to the class of optics and excellent performance, will be appropriate for hunting, and during a boat trip, and for foreign trips, and will definitely be indispensable for lovers of observing nature.
For two years in a row, these binoculars were recognized as the best in the Best Value For Money Binocular nomination (Best binoculars in terms of price and quality) according to the authoritative online publication BBR (Best Binoculars Reviews). The model turned out to be so successful that after a decade, these binoculars have practically no competitors in their price category.
ED Glass. Extra low dispersion glass is used in lenses of premium optical devices and is designed to correct chromatic aberration (color distortion) that occurs due to light scattering when light passes through a lens system. The refractive index of low dispersion glass is insignificant, all waves of the light spectrum passing through ED glass are refracted at the same angle. Due to this property, low dispersion glass practically does not scatter light, maintaining high image resolution and correct color rendition.
Advanced MultiGuard® Coatings. Seven layers of the most technologically advanced anti-reflective coating are applied to each optical surface. The coating provides a high level of light transmission of the optical system and unsurpassed natural color reproduction. The additional layer of Emerald Coating is designed to enhance green tones, which is especially useful for lovers of flora observations, as it provides saturation and naturalness of greenery in the shadows, and excellent brightness of the image as a whole.

BAK4 Prism. Significant light losses in a rotating prism system occur regardless of its design. The use of BAK4 optical glass (barite crown) with a higher refractive index allows you to minimize light loss and largely avoid vignetting (darkening of the image due to cutting the light beam at the periphery of the eyepiece lenses).
P2 Phase Correction. The use of multilayer phase-correcting prism coating is today the standard for high-quality binoculars with a rotating Roof prism design. When passing through such a prism system, light is reflected from opposite sides of the prism, polarized, and a shift of half the phase of the light wave occurs, which entails a loss of contrast. The thinnest phase-correcting coating applied to one of the prism surfaces combines the phases, providing high resolution and image contrast.
V-Max Silver Coating. Multilayer highly reflective coating is used exclusively in optical instruments with a rotating Roof prism design of the Schmidt-Pehan system. One of the surfaces of the Roof prism system does not have total internal reflection. It is on this surface that the reflective coating must be applied. The silver coating V-Max, unlike aluminum, reflects up to 98% of light in the entire visible range and provides high light transmission, natural color rendition, and is used exclusively in premium optics.
Waterproof & fogproof. These binoculars have an IPX7 water resistance rating and are also protected from internal condensation. The housing is sealed with a rubber O-ring, which allows the binoculars to be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter without letting moisture in. From the internal volume of the housing, the air and water vapor contained in it are displaced by nitrogen N2, which does not form condensate on the internal surfaces of the optics during a sharp temperature drop.
Large field of view. Convenience, efficiency and exciting impressions of observing through binoculars largely depend on the field of view (angle of view) of the optical device. The larger the field of view (the wider the angle of view), the more space is visible. The field of view of these binoculars is significantly higher than the average of similar models and refers these binoculars to premium optical devices.
Outstanding near focus. Most users use binoculars only to observe distant objects. But not everyone knows that the best examples of binoculars provide significant opportunities for macro observations. The minimum focusing distance (focus limit) of this model is only 2.5 meters, which allows you to view flowers and insects in their real habitat. Binoculars with a minimum focusing distance of up to 2.5 meters are premium optical instruments.
Magnesium Alloy Body. Magnesium in various alloys is widely used for the production of various products with high performance properties. The ratio of specific gravity to strength makes magnesium alloy a practically unalternative material for the manufacture of super-strong optical instrument housings. Optics in such housings will have a longer service life.
Right locking diopter. Each user usually uses the diopter correction mechanism only once when adjusting the binoculars to the characteristics of their vision. However, each time, when extending the eyepiece frames, there is a possibility of shifting the settings and losing image sharpness. The diopter correction mechanism lock on the right eyepiece prevents accidental shifting of the settings. Thus, during the next use, the binoculars will require a minimum of adjustments, and you will not miss any important details during observations.
3 Stage Eyecups. Properly designed eyeglass frames not only increase comfort during prolonged observations, but, first of all, allow users with different eye anatomy, as well as users wearing glasses, to use binoculars with equal convenience. These binoculars use fairly soft retractable Twist-Up eyeglass frames with 3 levels of fixation.
Tripod mountable. Despite the fact that in most cases observations are carried out with binoculars in hand, there are situations when mounting on a tripod is simply necessary. High magnification, long-term observation, or shooting on a smartphone camera using binoculars require the stability of the optical device. This model has two threads for attaching a tripod adapter, located under the caps in the front and rear hinges.
