You go to buy your first binoculars, but you can't see the forest for the trees. Vortex understands that your first binoculars should not be too big and certainly not too heavy. That is why Vortex has launched the Bantam HD 6.5x32 on the market. Specially developed for young people. The combination of 32mm lenses and 6.5x magnification gives you compact and lightweight binoculars. The ergonomic design ensures that you can easily hold the Bantam in the right position. The 6.5x magnification ensures a very quiet image, which makes the Bantam also suitable when you have difficulty keeping binoculars still. It weighs only 408 grams.

In practice

Properties of the housing:
- The rubber housing provides a secure-slip grip and durable external protection.
