How about the Steiner Visionler binoculars brand introduction

Founded in 1947, the German Visionelope Optical Company is the world's largest manufacturer of military telescopes. In 1989, in a bid with the world's major telescope manufacturers, Seedeal won the largest order for a military telescope in the history of the U.S. military. In the 1991 Gulf War, the U.S. military used the Vetdeal M-22 Marine Star telescope, and of the 72,000 telescopes provided by Vetage to the U.S. military, only four were returned. To date, Seedela has supplied more than 300,000 military telescopes to the military authorities of 67 different countries around the world.
 
The Seedeal civilian telescope can be described as "military grade", and one of its major features is collimation, impact resistance, and sturdiness. For example, elastic silicone is filled in and around the prism to ensure stability and shock absorption; In addition, the polycarbonate material Macrolon, developed by Bayer in Germany for the space shuttle, can withstand the violent test of pickup trucks, whether it is a Paul prism or a roof prism. Not only that, all models are waterproof, and some can even be used normally even when scooped up from a depth of 10 meters.
 
From design to production, the Seedela telescope must go through more than 460 high-precision inspection steps to ensure a high level of optical quality. In addition, it is also the first binoculars manufacturer to introduce a nano-coating on the lenses, which acts as a dustproof and hydrophobic effect, making it easier to clean the lenses, while the Diamond Marine coating technology used in the marine series maximizes the clarity of the mirror, the contrast of colors, and the contours of the observed objects can be clearly seen even in dim environments.
 
Marine (Ocean) is the mid-to-high-end series of Visionade, there are Commander (commander), Navigator Pro two models, the former is biased towards the professional type, the price is 7500 to 27800 yuan, the latter is a simplified version of performance, the price is slightly reduced, ranging from 5000 to 6800 yuan. Overall, the appearance of the series is not the usual slim tube design, but flat, with anti-slip lines on the surface, strong grip, easy to store and carry, like the Commander Gobal, Navigator Pro 7×50c and other models will be equipped with a compass for positioning, a kind of sea cruiser military fan style. In terms of focusing, the series uses center focusing, and if the target distance is relatively fixed, the user only needs to set the focusing distance in advance and make simple fine-tuning, and the focusing response is fast.
 
The Jadg (Hunting) series features high-performance military styles, with the Nighthunter and LRF 1700 eye-catching, both suitable for use at night. Nighthunter uses a diamond-grade full multi-layer coating to reduce light loss, greatly improve light transmittance, and the focus-free design makes it easier for users to quickly lock on to the observation object. The LRF 1700 has 1700 meters of military-grade laser ranging technology, which can quickly and accurately lock on to farther targets, and is paired with a high-resolution HD coating to provide enough brightness for the image. In terms of purchasing, enthusiast level users can buy the LRF 1700 with a price of more than 20,000 yuan, while the Nighthunter with a price of 6,999 yuan to 13,990 yuan can meet the general needs of telescope enthusiasts.
 
In addition to the Wildlife XP and Observer, models such as SkyHawk 4.0 and Safari Ultrasharp are relatively close to the people, with a price range of 1,400 to 6,000 yuan to meet the needs of most consumers. The SkyHawk 4.0 is more worth buying, it has FCF fast focusing function, the Paul prism design is made of BAK4 glass, the imaging is transparent and bright, the light transmittance is better than the BK7 material prism, plus the nano-level coating protection, can cope with rain, fog and other harsh environments.
 
The Military Marine is the best-selling style of Seedeal, using the traditional Paul prism, although slightly bulkier than the ridge binoculars, but it has the flat classic shape of the army telescope, 30mm, 50mm large-diameter design, with military green or pure black color, and only 2790 to 5080 yuan, the price is moderate, and it has become a pit product for many military fans.
 
In general, unlike the three major brands of Swarovski, Zeiss and Leica, which are positioned in the high-end and professional markets, Seedeal focuses on cost performance, and there are fewer product models that cost tens of thousands of yuan, only Commander (Commander) Global 7×50c, LRF 1700, Observer and a few others, mainly for the mass market, and there are more low-end models below 5000 yuan, focusing on comprehensive performance, suitable for players with limited budgets or beginners. In addition, Seedela has opened official flagship stores on e-commerce platforms such as JD.com, and in addition to individual products such as the Commander 7x50 LRF, the series models on the shelves are basically consistent with the official website, which is quite convenient for domestic purchase.
 
It should be noted that Seedela claims to be the only brand in the world that can provide autofocus telescopes, but in fact, this is more of a commercial gimmick for brand promotion. Its telescope products can observe the target in the range from 20 meters to infinity without focusing, thanks to the characteristics of the lens with a large depth of field, it is not really similar to the autofocus of a digital camera.
