An Affordable Entry At A Professional Standard
The Katana is the easiest way into proper binocular night vision. It’s light, simple and dependable, and it’s our most affordable binocular build. You get true two-eyed depth perception and comfort without paying for features you may never use.
At 495 g with optics and battery, it’s the lightest binocular we build, and you’ll notice the difference by the end of a long night. Each pod flips up and switches off on its own, then returns to your exact eye spacing when you flip it down, thanks to the patented friction-lock adjustment. Controls are kept to the minimum, so it’s quick to learn and just as quick to trust.
Its carbon-fibre-reinforced composite body rivals 6061-T6 aluminium in strength, and it’s sealed against dust and water. A single CR123A runs it for around 25 hours, with a LEMO port for an external pack when you need more.
