World-class optics
Designed by some of the best optical and mechanical engineers, the GPO Passion HD binoculars use world-class components in this flagship range. Their Schmidt Pechan roof prism system delivers crisp visuals under all lighting conditions.
The double HD glass lens elements are fully multi-coated to ensure minimised chromatic aberration. Phase correction coatings prevent phase shift for ultra-high-resolution. While dielectric mirror coatings on the objective lenses reflect more than 99% of the light across the full spectrum for true-to-life visuals.
Excellent low-light visuals
The particularly wide objective lens of the 8.5x50 makes these binoculars highly suited to observations in low light environments such as dusk and dawn.
Magnesium body
Constructed out of an all-magnesium chassis the body of the binoculars is highly durable. An outer multi-texture body armour offers further protection and grip. The binoculars are fully O-ring sealed for complete waterproofing, and the interior has a nitrogen filling to ensure the binoculars remain fog proof.
PASSIONdrop coatings
The exterior lens surfaces of the Passion HD binoculars feature GPOs “PASSIONdrop” hydrophobic coatings. These coatings help maintain clean objective lenses that are free from water, oil and dirt, making them easier to clean and retain the best viewing experience in any weather condition.
