Nocs Pro Issue 10x42 Binoculars

Nocs' no-compromise binocular for observers who prioritize image quality above everything else. The Pro Issue steps up to a 42mm objective lens, phase-coated BaK4 prisms, and broadband fully multi-coated lenses for stunning clarity, truer color, and sharp edge-to-edge images in the challenging light conditions where serious birders, guides, and explorers spend their time.

Why We Carry It
It's the binocular we recommend when someone is ready to invest in genuinely pro-level glass and wants the best image quality Nocs makes without compromise.

Highlights

• Broadband fully multi-coated lenses with 8-piece optical system — A more advanced coating than the HiFi coating on the Field Issue for superior light transmission, reduced glare, and a brighter image across the full brightness range from midday to low light.
• Ultra-premium phase-coated BaK4 roof prisms — Phase coating on the prisms eliminates the phase shift that degrades contrast and resolution in standard roof prism binoculars. A meaningful optical upgrade that delivers truer color, better contrast, and sharper detail especially at the edges of the field of view.
• 42mm objective lens for superior light gathering — A significantly larger objective than the Field Issue 32mm collects more light for brighter, more detailed images in low light conditions at dawn, dusk, and in heavy cover where fine detail matters most.
• 113-meter field of view at 1,000 meters — A wide, distortion-free field with clear edge-to-edge imagery for comfortable long-distance viewing and easy subject tracking without losing sharpness toward the edges.
• 2-meter close focus — Gets impressively close for a 42mm binocular. Useful for butterfly and insect observation, close-range bird identification, and detailed inspection of near subjects in the field.
• IPX7 waterproof with nitrogen fogproof construction — Handles full submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes and prevents internal fogging as temperature and humidity change through a long day in variable conditions. Sealed O-rings throughout for complete environmental protection.
• Adjustable diopter system at ±4° — Fine-tune the focus difference between your eyes for a personalized, sharp image that standard binoculars without diopter adjustment can't deliver.
• Multi-stop twist-up eyecups with 15mm eye relief — Multiple stop positions for comfortable use with or without glasses. Interpupillary distance adjusts from 53 to 72mm for a wide range of face widths.
• Impact-absorbing no-slip housing — A rugged, grippy exterior that protects the optics when they take a hit and stays secure in wet or cold hands during extended field sessions.
• Tripod compatible — Standard threading for stationary glassing sessions where hand-holding 10x binoculars for extended periods becomes fatiguing.
• 1.5-pound weight at 5.7 x 5.07 x 2.16 inches — A serious full-size binocular weight that reflects the larger objective lens and premium construction. The right tradeoff for observers who prioritize image quality over packability.
• No-Matter-What Lifetime Warranty — Backed by Nocs' lifetime warranty for confident use in the most demanding field conditions.

Best for

Serious birders, wildlife guides, naturalists, and outdoor enthusiasts who want pro-level optical performance for extended glassing in challenging light and demanding conditions. A strong lifetime investment for anyone who has outgrown compact binoculars and is ready for the image quality that a premium 42mm phase-coated system delivers.

Compatibility Note

Compatible with Nocs Woven Tapestry Strap, Photo Rig, and Tripod accessories. Also available in 8x42 for a wider field of view and larger exit pupil if tracking fast-moving subjects or low-light performance is the primary use case.
