Close-distance observation from a minimum focusing distance of approximately 50 centimeters

Compact binoculars for both long distance and close up viewing.

We've been amazed at what our BINTEL customers have been using these unique Pentax Papilio binoculars for. Perfect for everything from nature watching and bird observing, through to taking to museums for close up views of exhibitions, checking out electronic circuitry or even examining the fine details on medieval manuscripts.

Highlights

• Close-distance observation from a minimum focusing distance of approximately 50 centimeters
• The first Papilio-series model to feature a weather-resistant construction
• High-performance optical design
• Latest HD Coating to further upgrade optical performance
• Long eye relief
• Easy-to-hold rubber casing

In general, observing an object from a close distance with a pair of binoculars causes a discrepancy in the visual field between the right and left eyes. In order to compensate for this discrepancy, the Papilio III WR incorporates the PENTAX-original convergence correction mechanism, which slides the objective lenses in conjunction with the focusing distance. This unique mechanism lets the user more comfortably observe subjects at close range without suffering eye fatigue.

Since the objective lenses returns to their original position in long-range observation, this model also performs superbly in normal applications, such as birdwatching, hiking, concerts and sports viewing.

The first Papilio-series model to feature a weather-resistant construction

For the first time in the Papilio series, the Papilio III WR features a weather-resistant construction which minimizes the intrusion of water and moisture into the interior, making it a highly dependable observation tool in the rain and mist and at locations prone to water splashes. An anti-stain coating has also been applied to the eyepieces and front plate-glass surfaces to minimize the adhesion of dust and stains.

Latest HD Coating to further upgrade optical performance

The newest high-performance HD Coating* has been applied to some of the optical elements already treated with full multi-coating. Compared with conventional multi-coatings, this assures higher transmittance with less reflection. The result is that the Papilio III WR delivers extra-clear, higher-contrast images even under such demanding conditions as backlighting.

High-performance optical design

All optical elements of the Papilio III WR are treated with a full multi-coating process to assure the optimum imaging performance, while minimizing unwanted reflections. The combination of the aspherical optical elements and the high-refraction BaK4 index glass prisms also delivers a sharp, clear subject image without distortion, even at the edges of the image field.

Easy-to-hold rubber casing

The entire binocular body is encased in a protective rubber casing to assure better holding comfort and superior impact resistance.

Long eye relief

This model’s long 15mm eye relief allows even eyeglass-wearers to clearly and comfortably observe the entire field of vision.

Other Features

• RICOH-original dual-axis eye-space adjustment mechanism for simple, effortless adjustment of the width between the eyepieces
• Helicoid-type eyepiece rings for single-action, push-and-pull adjustment of eyepiece positions
• Click-stop diopter adjustment mechanism to prevent accidental shift of the diopter settings
• Quick-action neck strap, with instant attachment and release operations

Full-Frame Products Comparison

The ASI4400MC Pro is the latest addition to ZWO’s full-frame deep-sky camera lineup.
Positioned between the ASI6200MC Pro and the ASI2400MC Pro, the ASI4400MC Pro strikes the perfect balance between image quality and efficiency, giving users a versatile option within the full-frame lineup.

Comparison Table:

Full-Frame for a wider field of view

The ASI4400MC Pro uses a full-frame, back-illuminated sensor measuring 36 × 24 mm with a 43.3 mm diagonal. With 44 megapixels and 4.4 μm pixels, it delivers incredible resolution and light sensitivity in every shot. The full-frame format lets you capture the entire field your optics can deliver - no cropping, no lost edges - perfect for wide-field targets and large deep-sky objects. Each pixel supports a full-well capacity of 74,600 electrons, providing exceptional dynamic range. Bright stars retain their natural color and detail, while faint nebula structures and galaxy arms remain beautifully visible. The result is cleaner, more balanced images with outstanding tonal depth across the frame.

High Dynamic Range, Capturing Both Highlights and Faintest Details

The ASI4400MC Pro features a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that delivers a dynamic range of over 13 stops. This wide range allows a single exposure to capture both bright highlights and faint shadow details without clipping. Whether you’re imaging bright stars, nebula cores, or the delicate wisps of distant galaxies, more tonal information is preserved for smoother gradients and richer color depth. The result is a natural, well-balanced image straight out of the camera, with plenty of flexibility for post-processing and fine-tuning.

Efficient Cooling, Protecting Image Quality

The ASI4400MC Pro uses a powerful two-stage TEC cooling system capable of lowering the CMOS sensor temperature by 30°C to 35°C below ambient. This deep cooling dramatically reduces dark current and thermal noise, keeping your images clean and smooth - even during long exposures that last several minutes. The result is higher signal-to-noise ratio and improved image quality in every frame.
Note: Cooling performance varies with ambient temperature. The lower the ambient temperature, the smaller the achievable differential. Results are based on tests at 30°C ambient. While not found often in Australia, operation below -20°C is not recommended.

Glow Suppression Function*

The ASI4400MC Pro camera features ZWO’s proprietary Glow Suppression technology, which effectively controls sensor glow and maximizes overall imaging performance. This technology is implemented directly at the hardware level and does not require any software intervention.

USB 3.0 & 512MB DDR3 Memory

The ASI4400MC Pro includes a high-speed USB 3.0 interface with a built-in 512 MB DDR3 memory buffer. This design ensures fast and stable data transfer while reducing the risk of dropped frames or transmission errors. The result is reliable image capture, even during long exposures or high-speed downloads.

Anti-dew

The ASI4400MC Pro features a built-in polyimide heater bonded to the protective window to prevent dew and frost buildup, ensuring clear and reliable imaging throughout the night. 

* The heater draws about 5 watts of power and can be turned off through the software when conditions allow, not only to save power but also to reduce the load on USB hubs and external power supplies. 

*While Glow Suppression significantly reduces CMOS sensor glow, it does not eliminate it entirely. A small amount of glow may still be present; however, with dark-frame calibration, it has no impact on the final image quality.

Sensor Tilt Adjustment

The ASI4400MC Pro includes three sets of sensor tilt adjustment screws. Each set has a push and a pull screw that let you fine-tune the sensor’s alignment with your telescope’s optical axis. This adjustment helps correct any slight tilt that can cause stars to appear elongated or out of focus toward the edges of the frame, ensuring sharp, even focus across the entire image.

Camera Performance

The ASI4400MC Pro offers a dynamic range of up to 13 stops, allowing it to capture both bright highlights and faint shadow details in a single exposure. This wide range is key to achieving high dynamic range (HDR) performance, preserving fine tonal transitions and subtle color detail in deep-sky images. When the gain setting reaches 136, the camera automatically activates HCG (High Conversion Gain) mode, which greatly reduces read noise while maintaining full dynamic range. This means you can increase sensitivity for faint targets without adding unwanted gain noise, making it easier to capture clean, detailed images under a variety of conditions.

QE Value

The QE peak value of the ASI4400MC Pro camera is 80%.

Ultra-low Dark Current

Thanks to the ASI4400MC Pro’s advanced cooling system, thermal noise remains extremely low even during long exposures lasting several minutes. Dark current is a small electrical signal created by heat inside the sensor rather than by incoming light. By keeping the sensor temperature low, the camera minimizes this effect, producing cleaner, higher quality images with smoother backgrounds.

UV-IR Cut Filter

The ASI4400MC Pro is equipped with a UV-IR cut filter mounted in front of the sensor. This protective filter blocks unwanted ultraviolet and infrared light that can cause star bloat and color distortion, allowing only visible wavelengths to reach the sensor. By filtering out these non-visible wavelengths, the camera produces sharper stars, more accurate colors, and overall improved image quality in astrophotography.

• With an apparent field of view of 72°, you can enjoy a wider actual field of view at the same magnification, allowing you to enjoy the impressiveness of outer space.
• Rather than focusing on numerical values, the eye relief is designed with performance as the priority, and the lens barrel is designed with ease of use in mind, ensuring a nearly constant distance from the end of the eyepiece to the eyepoint. Furthermore , exit pupil aberrations are effectively eliminated, minimizing blackout and coloration when the eye moves away from the eyepoint, improving usability.
• This advanced optical design combines a wide field of view with a flat image. It is compatible with the brightest F-numbers of the astronomical telescope objective optical system it is paired with. The NAV-14SW especially is compatible with optical systems up to f/4. It improves the peripheral image without compromising the central image, minimizing field curvature and astigmatism.
• To eliminate stray light that is harmful to observation, light-shielding diaphragms, light-shielding wires, and black paint are used in appropriate locations, and the lens surfaces are multi-coated to reduce harmful reflections and improve transmittance, among other measures.
• The mounting diameter is 31.7mm or 1.25", the standard "American size." It can be used with various telescopes. It also features a parfocal design, with the flange at the focal point. *Please make sure the eyepiece insertion diameter of your telescope is 31.7mm.
• The eyecup rubber that comes into direct contact with the skin is made of skin-friendly silicone rubber, and features an easy-to-grip knurled design reminiscent of Nikkor lenses.
• A silicone rubber light-shielding hood is used to prevent external light disturbances when observing at high magnifications where close contact is not possible, or in places such as parking lots. Unlike the usual "horn-shaped" hood, it has a unique shape that can be used by people who wear glasses, and is flexible enough to reduce the transmission of vibrations. It is detachable and can be removed when not needed. 
• Drip-proof construction with rubber sealing to prevent night dew from seeping in.
• The optional TSA-1 telescope attachment allows for digiscoping. The FSB series compact digital camera bracket allows for collimated photography. It can also be used for lunar and planetary photography, expanding the scope of your photography.
• The innovative eyepiece converter "EiC-16" (sold separately) enhances the performance of NAV-SW eyepieces. The "EiC-16" converts the magnification to 1.6x. Unlike conventional Barlow lenses, the optical design optimized for the NAV-SW series increases magnification without sacrificing sharpness in the centre, further improving image flatness. The mounting system is a 31.7mm/1.25" chuck with minimal decentering error.

Simply screw it onto the end of the barrel to increase the focal length to 10mm, improving magnification and effectively correcting aberrations (field curvature and astigmatism). It truly has the performance of two high-performance eyepieces.

Keep stray light away

To minimize stray light that is harmful to observation, optical simulations were conducted, taking into account even large angles of incidence. Light-blocking apertures, light-blocking lines, black paint, etc. were used appropriately. Multi-coating was applied to the lens surfaces, suppressing harmful reflections and improving contrast.

Detachable light-shielding hood

A light-shielding hood is used to prevent external light disturbances when observing at high magnifications where it is not possible to keep the eye close to the object, or in places such as parking lots. It is detachable and can be removed when not needed. Unlike regular "horn-shaped eyecups," it has a unique shape that allows observation while wearing glasses, and is flexible enough to reduce the transmission of vibrations.
