Meopta MeoPro HD Plus 8x56

• 8x56 low-light format: The combination of 8x magnification and a 56 mm objective produces a generous 7.00 mm exit pupil, helping the image stay bright and easy to acquire at dawn, dusk, and in shaded woodland.
• HD optical system: Fluoride HD objective lenses and MeoBright lens coatings help reduce color fringing and preserve contrast, which makes fine detail easier to separate when glassing game, birds, or distant terrain.
• Comfortable long-view handling: A 17.00 mm eye relief, central focusing system, and roof-prism layout make the binocular practical for extended observation, including for many users who wear glasses.
• Field-ready sealed construction: The aluminium body is nitrogen filled, waterproof, and fogproof, so the binocular remains usable through rain, temperature changes, and damp morning conditions.
• Wide, steady image: A 105.00 m/1000m field of view gives good situational awareness, while the moderate 8x power is easier to hold steady than higher magnifications during long sessions in the field.

About the Meopta MeoPro HD Series

The Meopta MeoPro HD series was introduced in 2014 as a line of hunting and field binoculars that brings core Meopta optical technologies into a more accessible part of the company’s sports-optics range. The series includes compact and full-size configurations, from 8x32 and 10x32 models to 8x42, 10x42, and 8x56 versions, giving users a choice between portability, all-round use, and stronger low-light performance.

A defining feature of the range is its use of fluoride HD objective lenses, which help suppress chromatic aberration and keep edges cleaner around high-contrast subjects. Meopta also equips the series with MeoBright ion-assisted multi-coatings to support light transmission and maintain contrast in difficult lighting. Across the family, the design focuses on practical field use: a roof-prism format for compact handling, sealed and nitrogen-purged construction for weather resistance, and a chassis built to cope with regular outdoor use. In use, MeoPro HD binoculars are aimed at hunters and general observers who want a bright, durable binocular with a straightforward control layout and a balanced optical image rather than oversized dimensions or specialist complexity.

About the Meopta MeoPro HD Plus 8x56

The Meopta MeoPro HD Plus 8x56 is the low-light specialist of the range. Its 8.00 x magnification keeps the image calm and easy to stabilize by hand, while the 56.00 mm objective gathers more light than a typical 42 mm binocular. That combination produces a 7.00 mm exit pupil, which is especially useful for dawn and dusk observation, woodland stalking, and any situation where a relaxed, bright view matters more than compact size.

The optical layout is built around Roof - Schmidt/Pechan prisms and MeoBright lens coatings, with an HD objective system intended to keep color fringing under control and preserve detail in difficult contrast. In practical terms, this helps when separating an animal from dark cover, reading feather or fur detail, or scanning shadowed ground at the edge of legal light. The 105.00 m/1000m field of view is wide enough for steady scanning, and the 17.00 mm eye relief gives a more forgiving viewing position for prolonged use and for many eyeglass wearers.

Mechanically, this binocular is configured for dependable field handling rather than minimal weight. The aluminium housing, central focusing system, and single-hinge body give it a familiar, secure feel in the hands, while nitrogen filling and waterproof, fogproof construction help maintain internal clarity in wet weather and rapid temperature changes. At 1029.00 g, it is not a compact travel binocular, but that mass suits its role as a stable hunting and observation optic where brightness, comfort, and durability take priority.

About Meopta

Meopta traces its roots to Optikotechna, founded in Přerov, Czechoslovakia, in 1933. After World War II, the company was nationalized and renamed Meopta, and it remains headquartered in Přerov, Czech Republic. The company develops and manufactures optical, opto-mechanical, and optoelectronic products, with a long presence in sports optics as well as industrial and specialist optical fields.

Within sporting use, Meopta is known for binoculars, riflescopes, and spotting scopes, including the MeoStar line. Its proprietary technologies include MeoBright antireflective lens coatings, used to improve light transmission and contrast, and MeoDrop, a hydrophobic coating designed to shed water and dirt from external lens surfaces. That background is relevant to binoculars such as the MeoPro HD Plus, where practical image quality, durable construction, and in-house optical know-how matter more than feature overload.
