Dawn patrol and last-light glassing sessions are when the best opportunities appear — and when standard 42mm binoculars start to struggle. The Athlon Midas G2 UHD 10x50 pairs UHD extra-low-dispersion glass and ESP dielectric BAK-4 prisms with 50mm objectives that gather 42% more light than 42mm models, extending usable observation deep into the twilight hours where smaller binoculars lose contrast and detail.

Key Features

• UHD extra-low-dispersion glass reduces chromatic aberration and delivers sharp, color-true images — especially noticeable when tracking movement through variable light and high-contrast terrain
• ESP dielectric coating on phase-corrected BAK-4 roof prisms reflects over 99% of light through the prism assembly for brighter, more color-accurate images than standard silver-coated prisms. Combined with advanced fully multi-coated lenses and XPL protective exterior coating, the system maximizes light from objective to eyepiece
• 10x magnification with a 50mm objective provides a 5.0mm exit pupil — the largest in the Midas G2 50mm range — delivering a noticeably brighter image in low light compared to 12x models. The 341-foot field of view at 1,000 yards makes scanning open terrain faster and tracking moving subjects easier
• Magnesium alloy chassis at 28.5 ounces — argon purged, fully waterproof, and built for backcountry conditions without adding unnecessary pack weight
• 16.9mm eye relief with twist-up eyecups — the most generous in the Midas G2 50mm lineup, providing full field of view even with glasses. Smooth center focus and diopter adjustment for quick, precise focusing

Ideal For

Birders and wildlife observers who need to acquire and track moving subjects quickly — the wider field of view and 9.8-foot close focus let you find, follow, and study without the tunnel-vision effect of higher magnifications. The 5.0mm exit pupil keeps the image bright in forest canopy and dawn/dusk conditions when bird activity peaks.

Western hunters who glass ridgelines and open basins — 10x is enough magnification to evaluate game at typical engagement distances while the wider FOV helps you scan efficiently. If you need more reach for spotting at extreme distance, the Midas G2 UHD 12x50 trades field of view for magnification on the same optical platform.

All-day field users and glasses wearers — the 16.9mm eye relief and comfortable ergonomics make this the Midas G2 to choose if you'll be glassing for hours or sharing the binocular between users with different vision needs.
