More overview - More details

For those who do not compromise when it comes to nature observation: with an exceptionally wide field of view of up to 154 m, the MINOX X-PRO binoculars provide maximum overview. The close focus distance of under two meters allows for razor-sharp observations even at close range – supported by high-quality ED-lenses for brilliant image quality. Weighing less than 900 g, they are among the most compact binoculars in their class. Exclusive design and first-class ergonomics ensure noticeable comfort. The X-PRO binoculars impress with precision, reliability, and premium craftsmanship – “Made in Germany.”

MADE IN GERMANY – Quality from Wetzlar

Our X-PRO binoculars stand for German engineering and top quality. Developed and manufactured in Wetzlar, they combine decades of experience with state-of-the-art production technology. Precision and reliability, along with excellent service and product longevity, impress day after day.

Low weight – Lightweight in their class

Weighing under 900 g, the X-PRO binoculars offer an impressive combination of premium optics and comfortable handling. The well-thought-out design delivers maximum image quality with minimal strain – ideal for those who value mobility without compromising on precision.

Wide field of view – See more, discover more

A wide field of view is essential for anyone who wants to stay on top of things during birdwatching – especially in dynamic scenes such as the guillemot jump on Heligoland. When hundreds of young guillemots leap from the steep cliffs into the sea in June, this spectacular event can only be fully captured with binoculars like the X-PRO.
With their wide field of view (154 m at 8x / 130 m at 10x), the X-PRO allow you to take in large areas at a glance – ideal for observing breeding colonies, migration patterns, or complex behaviors.

Exclusive design & premium feel

Tangible comfort – in every situation. The lockable eyecups provide the ideal view, with or without glasses. The carrying strap with wider neck padding ensures comfortable wear, even during longer observation periods. The X-PRO binoculars fit securely and comfortably in your hands, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves. The surface is grippy and functional, with a deliberately reduced design: A tool that is intuitive to use and proven in every situation.

Brilliant image quality – ED lenses and premium coating 

The X-PRO binoculars impress with outstanding edge sharpness, high-contrast color fidelity, and light transmission of over 90%. The modern FMC multi-coating reduces reflections and ensures razor-sharp images – even in challenging lighting conditions. The combination of high-end optics and coating makes all the difference.

Close focus distance < 2 m – for sharp details at close range

Not every observation happens at long distances – especially in ornithology, small and nearby moments can be just as important. With a close focus distance of under 2 meters, the X-PRO binoculars offer razor-sharp insights into the world right at your feet – perfect for observing butterflies, insects, or birds in the undergrowth.
Particularly during calm moments, when animals are close by, the X-PRO binoculars shows their strength – turning the near range into a fascinating world of detail.

For demanding nature observers


The MINOX X-PRO binoculars are the ideal choice for anyone who wants to experience the bird world in all its diversity. With an exceptionally wide field of view, razor-sharp details at close range, and brilliant image quality, they offer everything that demanding ornithologists and nature observers need.

Whether watching the guillemot jump on Heligoland, observing rare species, or tracking subtle movements – the X-PRO binoculars deliver clear vision at any distance. Developed and manufactured in Germany, they stand for precision, reliability, and top optical performance.
