The performance of the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD Binoculars

When we got our Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD binoculars, the first thing we noticed was the great ergonomic feel they provided. The open bridge of these binoculars not only reduces the overall weight, but it also provides an excellent grip for when one handed operation is desired. The setup of the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD binoculars was really simple. All we had to do was:

1. Get the left eye in focus.
2. Pull out the center diopter adjustment dial.
3. Adjust the center diopter dial until the right eye is in focus.
4. Push the center diopter adjustment dial back in.

Once dialed in, you’ll notice the HD clarity and the excellent field of view that the 6.2° angle of the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD binoculars provides. The smooth focus of these binoculars let us zoom in on our subjects with pinpoint precision. The eye cups are very easy to use and help provide a strain free viewing experience.

When using the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD binoculars side by side with equally priced binoculars, we noticed quite a few differences. Of all the differences, the most notable were the wide field of vision and the
vibrant colors, especially during low light conditions. As the Sun was setting, the Nikon we were comparing it to was more grayscale while the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HDs still had colors that popped. Overall, we were impressed with the clarity, vibrant colors, wide field of view, and the usability of the Leupold BX-3 Mojave Pro Guide HD binoculars.
