VIVI Falcon 10x56ED Premium All-Round ED Binoculars
VIVI Falcon 10x56ED binoculars are the all-round flagship of the Falcon series: a premium 56mm platform that balances reach, brightness and comfort more evenly than any other model in the line-up. With a 5.59mm exit pupil, 31.36 relative brightness, 23.66 twilight factor and 84% light transmission, it delivers a bright 10x image from midday glare to evening shadow — equally at home on wildlife, patrol routes, coastal waters and inspection rounds.
Product Description
The VIVI Falcon 10x56ED binoculars are the all-round flagship of the Falcon series: a premium 56mm platform that balances reach, brightness and comfort more evenly than any other model in the line-up. With a 5.59mm exit pupil, 31.36 relative brightness, 23.66 twilight factor and 84% light transmission, it delivers a bright 10x image from midday glare to evening shadow — equally at home on wildlife, patrol routes, coastal waters and inspection rounds.
Every element of the premium tier is present: ED extra-low dispersion glass, phase-coated BAK4 roof prisms, FMC multi-layer coating, a magnesium-aluminum alloy body and non-slip metal focus controls. With 18.2mm of eye relief and a large 24mm eyepiece, long sessions stay comfortable with or without glasses.
ED Glass for Color-Faithful Detail
The ED optical lens is designed to reduce chromatic aberration and improve color reproduction and light transmittance, so the 10x image stays sharp and naturally colored on demanding, high-contrast subjects.
BAK4 Prisms with Phase Coating
Phase-coated BAK4 optics support sharp images, uniform brightness and reduced edge distortion — the defining prism upgrade of the Falcon 56mm platform, paired with 84% light transmission.
Balanced 10×56 Optical Configuration
The 10x magnification and 56mm objective produce the most balanced performance envelope in the series: 5.59mm exit pupil, 6° field angle and 104.8m/1000m field of view, bright enough for twilight, wide enough for finding subjects, powerful enough for real distance.
Premium Field-Ready Construction
The IPX7 nitrogen-filled housing (1m immersion for 30 minutes) resists water and fog, the magnesium-aluminum alloy chassis keeps the platform robust at 1102g, and an optional standard camera tripod mount supports hands-free extended observation.
Why Choose the VIVI Falcon 10x56ED?
Most binoculars force a choice: reach or brightness, width or power, comfort or capability. The VIVI Falcon 10x56ED is the model that refuses to choose. Its 5.59mm exit pupil stays bright deep into the evening, its 10x magnification resolves genuine distance detail, its 104.8m/1000m field keeps subjects findable, and its 18.2mm eye relief keeps glasses wearers comfortable — the most complete performance envelope in the Falcon series.
Within the 56mm flagship line, the positioning is clear. The VIVI Falcon 8x56ED binoculars are the brightness specialist with a 6.9mm exit pupil and 23.96mm eye relief but less reach; the VIVI Falcon 12x56ED binoculars are the distance specialist with the highest 25.9 twilight factor but a dimmer 4.7mm exit pupil and shorter 15.7mm eye relief. The 10x56ED sits precisely between them, which is why it is the natural one-glass answer for professional users who do not know what tomorrow’s assignment will bring.
It is also the premium platform in the wider Falcon family: where the 42/50 series uses a PC/ABS composite body with 82% light transmission, the 56mm series upgrades to a magnesium-aluminum alloy housing, phase-coated BAK4 prisms and 84% light transmission. If you are stepping up from a Falcon 10x50ED, the 10x56ED brings a brighter image, a premium chassis and professional-grade optics at 1102g.
