I have these binoculars. Love them. Great warranty. Go Vortex. I had gift certificates to get mine plus I hit end of the year sales at Cabela's. Ended up paying about 40 bucks. What a deal.
13 minutes of my life wasted watching a video of what I thought was going to be a review of Vortex Diamondback binoculars, and all it ended up being was a review of a Badlands binocular case, never even went outside to test the binoculars.
Vortex makes nice binocs. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED when I saw the difference between these and a pair of Nikon Aculon 20-22x50's. OMG! The Vortex bottom of their line WAY OUTDID the Nikons! Go check for yourselves and you'll see. I would have wound up taking the Nikons back for sure. Vortex's warranty and customer service are completely awesome.
Instead of using shock Cord you can get small rings that are similar to a keychain ring and use those to connect. That's what I did for my binoculars. I just bought a pair of the Vortex Diamonback from Cabelas for black Friday for $129!
These must be the now older (its 2020 now) model of Diamondbacks. The newer model is called the Diamondback HD, and are suppose to come with a chest case similar to what he bought.
Frondaro Delarge .... Yeah, I know. I should do a follow up video after fielding them in MT on a hunt but Knives are keeping me busy. And being a small CZcamsr it’s hard to get good video through the binoculars and rangefinder to convey the quality they give at such a reasonable price.
Hi. I wanted to buy binocular for traveling, supervision, bird wathing, but I can't choose model. My budget 150-200$. Now i watch 2 brands. Nikon and Vortex. So, my questions: 1. Nikon Prosstaf 7S or Vortex Diamondback? 2. Sizes and magnification, 8×42, 8×50, 10×42, 10×50 which one the better?

Great video. Nice looking binoculars. Yes. Warranty goes a long way. Glad to see you happy about your purchase. Antelope hunting sounds exciting. Would your wife hunt also. Where would you hunt for antelope. Thanks. Tony
Well, having tried a part of Montana and talking with both residence and Fish & Wildlife I would forego another Montana Pronghorn hunt. I'd try Wyoming perhaps next year but we'll see. As for my wife hunting? she's not a hunter but she will assist in the hunting process and even cleaning of whatever I would get. She was born and raised on a farm in Poland so she's not in anyway skittish or afraid to get her hands dirty.
I just got the same pair from Amazon and don't think mine or yours are a genuine Vortex product. Vortex Diamondback binoculars have their brand name "Vortex" on top of unit where it is labeled "Diamondback". I will be returning mine and buying from from an authorized dealer.
Lynden Mazuren ... I cannot speak to the authenticity to your purchase but am quite confident that mine are indeed Vortex Optics. It has been a while and I cannot say that the model body would not change through the years. Rebranding and such is common practice. With that said, if you contact Vortex in Wisconsin, they could assist. Maybe find the contact info on the Amazon seller too. Good luck and thanks for reaching out.

Well, it wasn't titled "REVIEW". I'd like to get back into the field and do a follow-up on several items but I get busy with other things.
Kevin Smith thanks for the comment, rather than wasting 13 minutes of my life I moved onto the next review.
cheers kev
Attach strong key rings to the binos !

Hey what do you think is better?.... the vortex vipers or the vortex diamondback?
Excellent review, thanks!!
Thank you Michael

Bought the same binoculars, but instead of a hat, it came with their GlassPak and harness which I think is a better value than the hat.
Kai L ... That’s good to hear. This video is a bit old.
@@CKKnifeandTool lol not sure why youtube often sends me to old videos. Need to pay more attention to that.
These must be the now older (its 2020 now) model of Diamondbacks. The newer model is called the Diamondback HD, and are suppose to come with a chest case similar to what he bought.
Upload dates for videos are below the video itself
I use black zip ties to connect my bino straps to my binoculars...
Zip ties are the best for attaching your strap!
wow! what a great binocular case!
got anything to say about the binoculars themselves?
Frondaro Delarge .... Yeah, I know. I should do a follow up video after fielding them in MT on a hunt but Knives are keeping me busy. And being a small CZcamsr it’s hard to get good video through the binoculars and rangefinder to convey the quality they give at such a reasonable price.
Are the Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars IPX7 waterproof rated?
good thing i read the comments before sitting here lol
Hi. I wanted to buy binocular for traveling, supervision, bird wathing, but I can't choose model. My budget 150-200$. Now i watch 2 brands. Nikon and Vortex. So, my questions: 1. Nikon Prosstaf 7S or Vortex Diamondback?
2. Sizes and magnification,
8×42, 8×50, 10×42, 10×50 which one the better?
I'd say look at who's warranty may be better. I can say Vortex has a great warranty. I own many of their products and bought them all with my $$$.
@@CKKnifeandTool Thanks
Send it to me I have a huuuge head lol they call me the egg head!!!! I would love to have the hat and I just subscribed!! Great video!!!!

Did you ever think to switch to a small clip ring?
No, I just have shock cord in place and it's been working great. Quiet too.
So is it safe to say that these are the best binoculors "for the money?"
I'd say yes. I don't get anything for endorsing Vortex and as far as I know, they don't even know I exist. I like mine and am pleased so far.
CK Knife and Tool is the HD model way better than the other non HD vortex binoculars?
The hats to big for you? Man i wish I had that problem. Even XXL hats are tight on me
If you got in on my Patreon account, you'd probably get that hat as well as some other things too. ;) patreon.com/ckknifeandtool
Thanks for waisting my time!

You just have the older model. The new Vortex Diamondback HD' s say Vortex instead.

You prefer a hat - that will be great when they close your local shop.........
