Athlon Binoculars Midas Pro G2 - 12X50 Uhd Roof Prism Black
The Athlon Optics Midas Pro G2 12x50 UHD roof prism binoculars deliver serious optical performance for hunters, birders, and long-range spotters who demand clarity and brightness in demanding field conditions. Built around a 12x magnification and 50mm objective lens, these roof prism binoculars balance power with a manageable form factor—enough magnification to resolve distant game and details without the bulk and weight of traditional porro designs. The UHD (Ultra High Definition) optical system is engineered to cut glare and maximize light transmission, giving you the edge when glassing steep hillsides at sunrise or scanning distant meadows during prime hunting hours.
Roof prism binoculars like the Midas Pro G2 are compact and durable compared to porro prisms, making them ideal for hunters who glass from a pack or glass-and-stalk situations where every ounce counts. The 12x50 configuration offers plenty of magnification for long-range spotting while the 50mm objectives gather sufficient light for early-morning and late-evening use. Whether you're planning a western hunt, scouting new land, or adding a capable optic to your overlanding kit, the Midas Pro G2 sits at the intersection of optical quality and practical fieldcraft.
Athlon Optics has built a reputation for delivering serious glass at fair prices, and the Midas Pro G2 follows that formula. These are real tools for working hunters and shooters—not entry-level bins, not luxury brands with luxury prices, but thoughtfully engineered optics that earn their place in your gear rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are roof prism binoculars best used for?
Roof prism binoculars are favored by hunters, spotters, and outdoorsmen who value portability and durability. Their compact design makes them ideal for glassing from a backpack or when hiking rough terrain. The Midas Pro G2's 12x50 configuration works well for long-range spotting, scouting, and hunting applications where you need significant magnification without the heft of larger porro prism models.
Is 12x magnification too much for hunting binoculars?
Twelve-power magnification provides substantial reach for spotting distant game and terrain detail, making it popular for western hunting and long-range glassing. It does require a steadier hold than lower magnifications, but the tradeoff is worth it for hunters who actively glass to locate animals rather than using binoculars primarily for general observation.
What does UHD (Ultra High Definition) mean in binoculars?
UHD refers to Athlon's optical coatings and lens design that prioritize image clarity, contrast, and light transmission. The result is a brighter, sharper image with less glare—especially noticeable when glassing in low-light conditions like dawn and dusk, which are prime hunting hours.
