Swarovski 8x30 CL Companion III Binoculars In More Detail
Wide field of view
A 140m field of view at 1000m supports tracking movement across open environments. This allows subjects to be located quickly and followed without frequent repositioning, which is useful for wildlife and bird observation.
Optical performance
The optical system maintains high contrast and natural colour reproduction with approximately 90% light transmission. This supports visibility in changing light conditions, including early morning or late afternoon environments.
Close focusing distance
A minimum focusing distance of 3m allows observation of nearby subjects such as insects, plants or detail in terrain. This extends usability beyond long-distance viewing.
Ergonomic design
The updated bridge structure improves hand positioning and balance. Combined with a weight of around 550g, the binocular remains stable during handheld use over longer periods.
Eyeglass compatibility
A 19mm eye relief and adjustable eyecups support full field of view visibility when wearing glasses. The eyecups adjust precisely to reduce shadowing and maintain image consistency.
Waterproof construction
The housing is sealed against water ingress up to 4m and operates within temperatures from -25°C to +55°C. This supports use across varied environments and weather conditions.

The binocular supports use with the optional Swarovski VPA 2 adapter, allowing images and video to be captured through the optical system using a smartphone.
