Opticron DBA VHD+ 8x42 Monocular

Premium Performance. Pocket-Sized Precision.

The Opticron DBA VHD+ 8x42 delivers outstanding optical quality and rugged reliability in a compact, lightweight design. Built for professionals and enthusiasts who demand top-tier performance without excess bulk, it combines exceptional clarity, comfort, and control in a field-ready package.

Perfect for wildlife observation, travel, or fieldwork where every gram and inch counts.

Superior Optics, Unrivalled Clarity

Featuring Opticron’s VHD+ optical system with ED glass objectives, this monocular produces crisp, high-contrast images with true-to-life colour. A phase-corrected roof prism with Oasis prism coating enhances brightness and resolution, while S-H multi-coatings across all air-to-glass surfaces deliver exceptional light transmission and reduced glare.

Built for All Conditions

The nitrogen-filled waterproof body (to 5 m / 16 ft) ensures fog-free viewing and dependable performance in any weather. Textured rubber armouring provides a secure, comfortable grip, protecting the optics from bumps and scrapes during use in the field.

Comfortable, Precision Focusing

With long eye relief, a 4-stage twist-up eyecup, and smooth wide-wheel focusing, the DBA VHD+ 8x42 offers effortless control and viewing comfort — even for spectacle wearers. A close-focus distance of just 1.5 m (4.9 ft) makes it ideal for observing fine details in nearby subjects.

Order Fulfilment

Some items, as clearly stated on the product page, may be fulfilled directly by our partners or manufacturers. In these cases, your order will be shipped to you straight from the brand’s warehouse. This helps us provide a wider range of specialist equipment and may result in slightly different delivery times.

Returns Policy

If something isn’t right, we’ll always try to help.

  • Unused items in “as new” condition can usually be returned within the statutory cooling-off period
  • Please contact us before sending anything back so we can advise on the safest way
  • For unwanted items, return shipping is your responsibility, and original shipping may be deducted where applicable
  • If a product is faulty or damaged, we’ll arrange repair, replacement or refund in line with your consumer rights — and we’ll cover reasonable return costs

Telescope shipping is expensive, and specialist — avoidable returns really do impact our business, so we always encourage customers to ask questions before buying. We’re here to help you get it right first time.

Your statutory rights are not affected.

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
