Urikan Falcor 8x32 – BaK-4 Prism – Compact – Waterproof – Roof Prism

The Urikan Falcor 8x32 is a technically advanced, compact roof prism binocular, specifically designed for nature lovers, hikers, and recreational birdwatchers who demand high optical performance without compromising on portability. Thanks to the combination of a stable 8x magnification and an exceptionally wide field of view, these binoculars are the ideal tool for locating fast-moving subjects. The rugged, waterproof construction ensures that this compact all-rounder performs consistently in all weather conditions.

The Falcor 8x32 is designed to deliver a clear, high-contrast, panoramic field of view:

- Optical System: Constructed with high-quality BaK-4 roof prisms. This premium glass ensures efficient light transmission and minimal internal light scattering, resulting in excellent edge sharpness.
- Coating: The optical elements feature multi-layer coatings (Multi-Coating). These effectively minimize annoying reflections and optimize light transmission, ensuring colors are rendered true-to-life and vivid.
- Exceptional Field of View: With an extremely wide field of view of 142 meters at a distance of 1,000 meters, these binoculars offer an unparalleled sense of space. This makes tracking birds in flight or wildlife in dense vegetation extremely efficient.
- Magnification & Aperture: The 8x magnification delivers an extremely smooth and stable, easy-to-handle image. The 32 mm objectives provide surprisingly high light transmission in daylight and perform consistently during early morning or twilight.

The compact chassis is fully optimized for intensive and prolonged outdoor use:

- Chassis & Grip: The housing has a total length of just 12 cm and is coated with a durable TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) finish. This rubber-like coating provides excellent shock absorption and a reliable mechanical grip.
- Waterproof Construction: The binoculars are fully waterproof. This prevents rain and fog from entering and eliminates internal condensation on the lenses during rapid temperature changes.
- Twist-up Eyecups: The extendable, twist-up eyecups allow for precise adjustment of the eye relief. This ensures that even eyeglass wearers can enjoy the full, unobstructed field of view.
- Central Focusing: The central focus wheel operates smoothly and accurately, enabling quick and intuitive focusing at varying distances.

For maximum service life and to maintain optical quality, we recommend the following:

- Lens cleaning: Always blow away loose sand or dust first using a blower or an optical brush. Then clean the lenses exclusively with the included microfiber cloth to prevent micro-scratches on the coatings.
- Comfort: Weighing 593 grams, the binoculars feel stable and well-balanced in your hand. During longer hikes, use the included carrying strap to distribute the weight comfortably.
- Protection: Replace the lens caps immediately after use and transport the binoculars in the included nylon protective case to prevent mechanical damage.
- Drying: If the binoculars have been exposed to heavy rain, wipe them down with a dry cloth and allow the instrument to dry thoroughly before storing it for an extended period.

The Urikan Falcor 8x32 is a technically sound and highly portable pair of binoculars that excels thanks to its impressive panoramic field of view and compact dimensions. The combination of clear BaK-4 prism glass, waterproof construction, and a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty makes this model a superior choice in the mid-range segment. The objective verdict is that the Falcor 8x32, thanks to its balance of weight, ruggedness, and wide field of view, is the ultimate travel and hiking companion for any active nature lover.
