We Miss So Many Moments

Standard Bino/Zoom Lenses/Phones Just Won't Satisfy

Digital Zoom is a Technical Dead-End.

Digital Zoom is a Technical Dead-End.
Phone vs. OPTIVON 8x

Smartphone zoom is a software trick. The more you zoom, the more the image falls apart into a blurry, pixelated mess.

Adapters are a Nightmare.

Adapters are a Nightmare.
Phone Adapter Won't Cut

Aligning a phone to a scope takes 2 minutes. The bird flies away in 2 seconds. You missed it.

Zoom Lenses Cost & Too Heavy to Carry.

2kg vs 900g

Who wants to lug a $3k worth, 2kg lens to travel, to a stadium or a hike?

"I'm backing because I've yet to see a product like this. Most bino/camera combos are digital zoom with poor image quality and poor battery life. Given your background in optics I'm thinking this product will be worth it! If it works this will be one of my most prized possessions <3"

"Video is OK if the light is good and you shoot from a tripod at 1×–2Γ— zoom. All in all, I’ll be almost happy if the software is tweaked and I could turn off the beeping sound. (y)"

"Received today! Packaged very well! Optically viewing the optics have no astigmatism or chromaticism in daylight at the edge of field, will test tonight on stars, but happy you used ED glass! Not an APO but very good ED elements. Good hand feel, currently charging it up before putting it to use will comment back later on image capture quality."

No International Headaches. Just Local Support.

"Why I Brought
This to Australia."

I’m Liam, a tech geek from Melbourne who was sick of seeing elite optics stuck overseas or sold by dodgy drop-shippers.

I flew to the factory, bring it back to Melbourne and personally tested the units in the bush to ensure the ED glass and BAK4 prisms actually handle our harsh light.

Me and my team are strictly capping this initial batch release. Why? Because I want to personally ensure every user gets support from me directly. No call centres.

Recommended Use

  • βœ“ Bright Daylight Adventures (Footy, Cricket, Beach, Hiking)
  • βœ“ Long-distance observation (300m - 2km)
  • βœ“ Have the bias to record scenes, but a $2-3k heavy zoom lens won't do the job
  • βœ“ People who hate phone adapters
βœ•

Not for

  • βœ• While we designed this for crisp daylight action (where the best moments happen), it isn't a military night-vision scope. If you're looking to spot owls in pitch black, this isn't for you. But if you want to see the dust on a cricket ball from the nosebleed seats, you’re in the right place.
  • βœ• Running while recording (Use a rail or steady hand for 8x zoom)

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Got doubts? We've got answers.

Absolutely. Your $1 deposit is 100% refundable. If you change your mind before 30th April 2026, simply contact us and we will process your refund instantly, no questions asked. Alpha Grid Pty Ltd reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order at any time without prior notice.

Yes! The binoculars are IPX7 waterproof and nitrogen-filled. This means the internal lenses are completely fog-resistant, making them perfect for humid mornings or rainy environments.

OPTIVON Explorer Duo features a massive 4000mAh battery. It provides 8-10 hours of continuous recording, so you never have to worry about missing the shot.

No. Unlike smartphones that use digital zoom (which crops and pixelates the image), OPTIVON Explorer Duo uses true 8x Optical Zoom combined with ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and BAK4 prisms. The image stays crisp and color-accurate.

No, a 32GB TF card is included in the box so you can start recording immediately.
