The GPO Passion HD 10x50 binoculars represent the pinnacle of German Precision Optics’ engineering. Built for users who demand uncompromising performance, they combine high-definition optical design with cutting-edge coatings and robust construction to deliver a premium viewing experience.
Optical Performance
These binoculars feature a Schmidt-Pechan prism system and 10x magnification, offering a wide field of view - 103 metres at 1,000 metres - ideal for both nature observation and long-range detail. The 50 mm effective objective lens diameter ensures excellent light transmission, enhanced further by advanced multi-layer coatings for exceptional edge-to-edge clarity and colour fidelity. The 5 mm exit pupil diameter and 19.5 mm eye relief provide a bright, comfortable viewing experience, even in low light.
Build and Ergonomics
Constructed with a lightweight magnesium body and a compact micro bridge, the binoculars are both rugged and ergonomically balanced. The central focusing wheel includes the integrated dioptre adjustment for intuitive handling. Rotating eyecups made from solid aluminium offer precise and durable eye positioning. Despite their large aperture, the binoculars remain steady in the hand, thanks to their optimised balance.
Close Focus and Protection
With a close focus distance of just 2.8 metres, users can observe nearby subjects in crisp detail. The PASSIONdrop water-repellent coating ensures that lenses resist dirt and moisture, maintaining clarity in all conditions. Waterproofing up to 300 mbar adds confidence during use in wet environments.

Inter-pupillary distance ranges from 58 to 76 mm, accommodating various users comfortably. Dimensions are practical for field use: 175 mm in length, 135 mm in width (fully extended), and 64 mm in height, with a weight of 960 grams.
