The Leica Duovid is the ultimate in performance and versatility. The only high performance dual power binocular on earth the Duovid allows the user to switch magnifications with just a simple rotation of the eyepiece rings.

The Automatic Diopter Compensation (ADC™) maintains the user’s diopter setting and focus when switching between magnifications allowing for a hassle-free viewing experience at either magnification.

High-Durable Coatings (HDC™) on external lenses improve image quality and protect the lenses from scratches and harmful environmental effects.

The High Lux System (HLS™) on the Duovid is a 42-layer prism coating that increases usable light transmission and brings optical performance to never-before-seen levels.

An aircraft-grade aluminum housing and solid stainless steel center axis pin provide maximum durability and superior balance of the two optical tubes.

The Duovid is fully fogproof and also boasts Leica’s industry-leading waterproof submersion rating of 16.5ft assuring the user that their binocular will remain waterproof in any weather condition and at any conceivable elevation.

The 10+15x50 Duovid includes Leica’s handy binocular tripod adapter inside the box allowing the user to mount the Duovid to a tripod for a more stable view at 15x magnification.

The Duovid offers Leica’s 3-year Passport Protection Plan + Lifetime Limited Warranty which is the strongest warranty in the high-performance segment of the optics industry.

Twistable eyecups offer three different settings for different eye reliefs and may be easily removed for cleaning. Includes a Nappa leather case neoprene carrying strap and a one-piece rainguard that covers and protects the two ocular lenses.
