ALPEN OPTICS APEX Steady HD 14x42 stabilised binoculars deliver a rock-steady view at serious magnification. Built around HD glass and BaK-4 prisms, the 42 mm objectives draw excellent detail and brightness, while UBX multi-layer, PXA phase and LPE lotus coatings maximise light transmission, contrast and wet-weather clarity. The 2-axis gimbal stabilisation smooths out hand tremor so you can read terrain and identify game without reaching for a tripod. With a splashproof, nitrogen-filled chassis, twist-up eyecups and LE eyepieces for spectacle wearers, these 14× binoculars are tailored for twilight stalking, mountain glassing and long-distance observation where stability and definition matter.

Engineered for Performance in the Field

From coastal glassing to high-country ridgelines, the APEX Steady HD is built to perform in variable Australian conditions. The armour-coated body sits securely in the hand, and IPX4 protection shrugs off showers and spray. Nitrogen filling prevents internal fogging during sharp temperature swings, preserving a clear view from first light to last. High-definition optics and BaK-4 prisms work with ALPEN’s UBX and PXA coatings to keep images bright, colour-true and contrasty, while the LPE (Lotus Pearl Effect) sheds water and light grime so drops don’t cling to the objectives. With a practical 4 m close focus and 70 m at 1000 m field of view, you can scan wide or inspect fine detail with confidence.

Precision-Driven User Experience

At 14×, stabilisation is the difference between guessing and knowing. The APEX Steady HD’s 2-axis gimbal system settles the image for easier identification and reading of subtle movement at distance. Ergonomics are dialled in: twist-up eyecups set eye position quickly, the dioptre control fine-tunes to your eyesight, and LE eyepieces maintain the full field of view with glasses on. At just 644 g and with compact dimensions, they carry well all day, and the included 900D sailcloth bag protects the optics between vantage points. Whether glassing hillside shadows at dusk or tracking birds along a wind-chopped shoreline, the view stays steady, bright and sharp.

The APEX Steady HD 14x42 blends stabilised performance, premium coatings and practical field ergonomics to make long-range observations clearer and less fatiguing. For hunters, nature watchers and coastal observers who need handheld reach without sacrificing image quality, these binoculars deliver dependable clarity in all seasons.

THE GLASS

Thanks to the excellent high-definition glass in the ALPEN OPTICS Apex Steady 14x42 HD binoculars, you can admire wildlife and landscapes in high resolution and a fascinating wealth of detail. The high light transmission allows the images to appear bright and clear even in adverse light and weather conditions.

THE REMUNERATION

Also thanks to the first-class coatings, the Apex Steady binoculars ensure a special viewing pleasure. ALPEN's exclusive UBX multi-layer coating significantly increases light transmission. Excellent contrasts and a clear image - this is guaranteed by the high-quality PXA phase coating. A real highlight is also ALPEN's high-quality LPE lens coating (Lotus Pearl Effect): The lotus effect guarantees that no drops of water remain on the objective lenses and light dirt is simply washed away when it rains.

STABLE, WEATHERPROOF AND USER-FRIENDLY

The robust Apex Steady binoculars will quickly become your constant and reliable companion on your hunting trips and outdoor adventures. But the high-quality optics lie perfectly in the hand thanks to the rubber armouring. Even rain and fog cannot harm the splash-proof binoculars with image stabilizer. You also always have a clear view of sharp temperature fluctuations, because the lenses cannot fog up from the inside.

SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WHO WEAR GLASSES

You can also enjoy the excellent and pleasantly calm view through the ALPEN OPTICS Apex Steady 14x42 HD binoculars with glasses. Because if you leave the twist-up eyecups screwed in, you can simply leave your glasses on. The distance between your eyes and the eyepiece lenses is still correct. The LE eyepieces have a raised eyepoint so that you can comfortably use the entire field of view. You can then use the diopter adjustment to set your individual eyesight in no time at all.

Whether in the hunting ground or on the water - the ALPEN OPTICS Apex Steady 14x42 HD binoculars provide an absolutely stable image everywhere.

Crystal-clear images with premium quality optics

Unlike the standard BK-7, the optics offer you even sharper and brighter images thanks to the BaK-4 optical glass material (barium crown glass). By the way: ALPEN Optics always uses high-quality BaK-4 glass for all devices available in Europe.

Special coating for more clarity and contrast

Take a close look at everything with every look - you have to be able to see every little thing clearly through your binoculars. The PXA phase coating does a first-class job here: thanks to the clear images with excellent contrasts, you won't miss a single detail.

Detailed, high-resolution images

When hiking, hunting or trekking, the high-quality high-definition optics always provide an excellent picture. Be amazed by the high resolution and the impressive level of detail. In addition, the excellent HD glass scores with its high light transmission - for bright images even in adverse weather and lighting conditions.

Brighter observations

The super-high-reflection coating on the prism always causes astonished looks. It directs the light even better to your eyes. The bright images make observing animals and nature an absolute pleasure.

Weatherproof design

Even if the temperatures fluctuate greatly, you never lose sight of the objects you are observing. Because the binoculars are filled with nitrogen. This means that the lenses cannot fog up from the inside - and the view remains clear.

Waterproof design

Adverse weather conditions don't stop you from hunting? Then you can rely on the splash-proof housing. It reliably protects the optics from rain and the like.

Tripod connection thread

Enjoy the view in peace or talk to wild animals - with the tripod connection thread, the optics are quickly mounted and you can look forward to wobble-free images.

Easily adjustable for glasses wearers

You can enjoy a perfect view with and without glasses thanks to the twist-up eyecups. Because the distance between your eyes and the objective lenses can be optimally adjusted and you can comfortably see the entire field of view.

Water-repellent coating for unobstructed view

As with the well-known lotus flower, water simply rolls off the objective lenses, which are equipped with ALPEN's exclusive LPE lens coating. Light dirt is simply washed away when it rains - and your view remains free.
