Swarovski pushes the boundaries of what is possible to experience with binoculars!
With the modular system, you can "build" your binoculars yourself based on your needs. The system has already been adapted for photography on the drawing board. The X stands for innovation, maximum comfort, flexibility and quality. ST means straight eyepiece with a completely newly developed built-in zoom that provides a large field of view as well as a rotatable and replaceable eyecup with extra large eye distance for individual adaptation with or without glasses. When shooting, the straight eyepiece has an advantage compared to the angled one - it is then quite possible to handle the whole unit freehand with a DSLR camera body mounted. Zooming takes place in a large grooved ring at the front of the eyepiece, which means big advantages compared to traditional systems:
It enables one-handed grip to both focus and vary the magnification. With the other hand, you have full control over steering the tube and, if necessary, shooting through it.
With both digiscoping and telephoto photography with SLR systems, you can easily zoom to get the best possible composition on your image. The eyepiece body is cast in lightweight magnesium and rubber reinforced. On one side there is a button to release the lock for the lens mount (bayonet). Every part of the new system is nitrogen-filled and waterproof down to a depth of 4 meters, even as separate parts. The function is guaranteed in the temperature range -25°C - +55° and the outer lenses are coated with SwaroClean which has a repellent effect on water and dirt. The fluoride-containing HD lenses are also treated with SwaroDur and SwaroTop surface treatments for best contrast and natural color reproduction. The eyepiece module also features the same Swarovision technology as in the EL binoculars, i.e. a lens element that provides a distortion-free image with the same contrast and sharpness over the entire image plane (straight drawing without "cushion effect"). They state a light transmission of 86% through the entire system.
