Vortex Diamondback HD Binocular Review and Comparison!
In this video we take a look at the Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars compared to the Bushnell Trophy binoculars. We review the basic features as well as my opinion on the glass and quality. We look at the focus, glass quality, light transmission and ease of use. We also discuss the Vortex Glasspak binocular harness and review it.
The Diamondback® HD smashes the scale of price vs performance, delivering a rock-solid optic that optically punches high above its class. The included GlassPakTM binocular harness keeps your glass close at hand, ready to deploy at a moment's notice, all while providing protection and significantly more comfort than traditional neck straps.

I have personally used Vortex's warranty twice. Left a Vortex Diamondback 3x9x40 on a Ruger M77, left the gun range in a hurry, left my tailgate down, rifle case slid out and disintegrated. Rifle and scope destroyed. Called Vortex, sent in scope at their expense, 10 days later, I had a new one.
Second time, packing a mule deer buck out on a steep rockslide, my Howa 243 with a Vortex Viper scope on it, went bouncing down the rockslide when I took the pack off for a break. Scope dinged, front lebs broken, tube dented. Called Vortex, new scope in14 days. Customer for life of the company, here.
Very good customer service wow
funny because I had a diamondback scope that went out of zero and would not adjust I sent it to them they sent it back to me, within a week it did the same thing I asked them for a CREDIT so I could get a better vortex scope and they told me that they cannot do that, I could only send it back for repair…… screw those guys…..VORTEX sucks
I bought a pair yesterday and I will agree with those saying the glasspack is a little small but the binos will go in the pouch with a small effort. I stood outside the store comparing the 12x50 with the vortex 10x40 and there was a noticeable magnification difference in image size. The image was so clear at distance that I think I saw a bird smile at me from the high line. So far I am pleased with the binos and the distance they will achieve.
Awesome
Just bought my own for shed hunting and it works really great. Can't wait to glass up my 1st 2021 elk shed on April 1st.
Awesome
I just ordered mine 4-26-2020 . I decided to look on "you tube" just for fun, I researched the 12x50 very well. I also own Vortex 8x42 for a few yrs now and they are fantastic. I ordered the 12x50 because I wanted to see more and I should get them by 5/2/2020. I also got a great deal, I got binoculars w carrying pouch and some sort of cool flashlight all for the same price as everyone else was selling just the binocular for. Anyway nice video. Thanks for the very accurate review!
Thank you. Glad I could provide a review for you.
Just ordered a pair today! 9/2/20
Great review man, can’t wait to get ahold of em!
Awesome!
I was using a cheap old pair of bino’s I pulled out of the hunting room that my father has had for probably 20 plus years. I went scouting for ducks and I swear they were so bad I was better off leaving them at home. Went to my local sports store that same day and I looked through these and I was blown away by the clarity. I got the 10x42’s and they were 200 bucks at my local store. I’ve had them for a few weeks now and they haven’t left my truck and they are always on me when I’m in the woods or in the blind. I’ve seen birds I never would’ve seen with the naked eye or cheap bino’s. Highly recommend these bino’s and anything vortex. Plus you can’t beat the VIP warranty, I was investigating their site and they have an example of someone’s bino’s that a bear munched on for a while and they covered it. That really appealed to me because I’ve had a bear tear up some of my gear in the woods before.
Very true!
Yeah I had a bear eat the seat off my ATV one time LOL
Got these yesterday and a razor HD 3x15 scope couldn’t be happier with the value and quality
Good deal
This was VERY helpful!! Thank you!
You are welcome
I’ve had some for a couple weeks and love them
Or wait mine are 15x56 diamondbacks very light and awesome picture
Awesome. Good to hear
Love the glass pack. Great value add. Thanks for the review!
I love it too
Seriously considering this for my new hunting glass.
Its entry level but good enough for hunting
Bag is tight fit for binoculars. Going in easy. Taking out removes lens covers each time. Hopefully overtime it the bag opens up and adjusts to the binoculars size
I never use lense covers in the bag probably never will
Interesting. Thanks for sharing that. Now it will fit easily. I'm a new binocular owner and it took me a while to get these setup but I hand fun time doing it.
To me the lens covers coming off automatically when the Binos are removed would seem like a good thing. 🤷♂️
Just ordered a pair 5 minutes ago
Awesome
Thank you for this great review
No problem
Good job!
Ordering mine now
Awesomeness
Are the HDs worth it over the regular Diamondbacks? I can get regulars for 130 or HD for 230
Are they worth it?
HD’s have a lense coating that helps cut down on chromatic abborations, so yes I would get the HD version.
I have the Diamondback HD 12x50. No matter how close I put the eyepieces together, I cannot get a full view from both eyes. There is some shadow distortion in one eye or the other. Does anyone else have this issue? I had the Vortex 10x32 Raptor and I did not have this issue.
Call Vortex and they will replace them.
Well it’s a year late but what’s causing this is the lens covers. Take them off and the binos can get closer together. The 10x32 didn’t do this because the diameter Is smaller
Can I ask your opinion? Which do you recommend for backpacking and hiking?
Now. Athlon argos g2 10x42 or vortex diamondback hd 10x50
Y'all I have 20lbs of toxic poop in my body at ANY given time
Yup
Wait till you get that killer covid shot😜
How will the old "non-HD" diamondback compare to the new crossfire HD? Will the HD upgrade outperform the product line difference? After the discount for old models on the non-HD, they have identical price.
Unfortunately I am really not sure. You may be able to call vortex and ask.
Check out optics exotica reviews on both, they are very comprehensive reviews and he actually films the view through the lenses,he likes the Diamondbacks but passionately hates the crossfire hds I've had both the crossfires and the diamondback hds and have to agree I hated the crossfire, the optics weren't great at all in them. My Diamondbacks hds aren't perfect and have a bit of chromatic abberation (the crossfires were way way worse) but are sharp and clear and pretty bright with minimal distortion, for the price they are excellent, just a note I went for the 8x32 hds in the diamondback as I wanted a more compact binocular and I love them so far, as I said not perfect but definitely good enough for what I use them for. To get better you would probably have to spend quite a bit more, I hope this helps
Have you compared the binos to other top brands? I ask because I have a buddy that just got a brand new pair of the exact same ones and they didn't impress me that much. They were definitely nice and well built but not quite what I was expecting. Not trying to troll but just curious. Right at dusk one night were both hunting together and we both looked through my 5 year old vanguard binos and then through his vortex binos. We could both see a Coyote through mine that we couldn't pick up through his. I was surprised because I wanted his to be better so I would have an excuse to upgrade. haha
Firstly and I probably should have clarified this better in the review is I recommend these and believe they are great as a budget category binocular. Unfortunately I do not have the money to truly compare every brand or even several brands at once. From the binoculars I have owned or have used in this price category these seem to be the best to me. I appreciate the comment :) I wish I had the ability to test them against more brands. Thank you for the input.
Dude, what size are they? You do not mentioned anything about it, are they 10x50 or 12x50?
12x50
That pouch sounds a bit ‘scratchy’ for still hunting, but I’m gonna grab those Binos .
Its not bad once its broken in
Now compare to leupold?
12x50 or 10x50 way to go and Viper or Diamondbacks? Trying to get most for money.
I would get 10x50
How well would these binoculars work in hill country for deer hunting ? Ohio and West Virginia.
TRy the vortex diamondback 8x28 binos
I’m looking to buy these for stargazing and general stuff. I’ve never had a pair of binoculars before, so I’m asking for advice. Any help appreciated.
Won't help much in the way of stargazing but they are good enough for general use
I have both - The vortex definitely are NOT better.... Lighter & free bino harness yes,,, the Bushnell glass is clearer & had less color separation and haziness around outer lense than the vortex... The eye cups/focus is cheaper / looser feeling on the vortex.... I just drove 150 miles to my states Cabela's to swap the vortex out for new ones and the new ones aren't much better than the old ones... Even the guys at Cabela's were surprised. The Bushnell has a great warranty too...... I went to buy a spotter too & the Cabela's brand scope was better too !!!! I went home empty handed except for my swapped out vortex. Only bought those for extras for my son or a buddy to use...
Interesting
Just today I started shopping for a "budget" set of binoculars for long range target shooting and hunting, with these at the top of the list. The timing for your review couldn't have been better as there doesn't seem to be a lot of feedback on the updated "HD" version of the Diamondbacks out there.
Glad I could help. I feel these are a great value especially with the included harness. If I had it to do over I would of bought these the first time around instead of other pairs.
I don't use the ocular and objective covers either. It's just dumb to have to take them on and off all the time. They serve no purpose if you keep them in a bag.
I have the bushnell trophies I got for Xmas and I have the vortex diamondback hd’s no comparison the vortex is better
How do they compare to lieca trinovids?
No idea
Are the Vortex Diamondback HD Binoculars 1PX7 rated?
Says waterproof on vortex website not sure
@@Bullets4Bucks Thank you!
On a vortex video they commented yes. The diamondbacks are
Do you have any pictures through them ?
No. Its difficult to get good pictures through binos. Also the quality of the picture is isn't an accurate representation because its through a camera lens.
How would the Diamondback HD's stack up against the Nikon Monarch 5's?
Not sure about the monarch's but they are better than the prostaff probably.
Can you see a star with them?
Yes
ounce on RUclips!
This is a bag review, not a bino review
Great content thank you
Thanks
