Nikon Canada Inc. has released its new Stabilized binocular series with two new models that feature a compact, portable design while incorporating an original Stabilized function to provide a clear and stable image.
This original stabilization system in the new 10x and 12x models reduces vibrations caused by hand movement by approximately 80%, says Nikon. This makes it possible for you to view distant objects like birds and other wildlife, sporting events, concerts, and landmarks more clearly.
These new Stabilized binoculars weigh just 13.9 ounces for the 12x model so you can track and view subjects for long periods with minimal fatigue of the eyes or arms. For extended viewing, they are powered by a pair of AA batteries, providing up to 12 hours battery life.
Foldable for storage and easy packing, a multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms while high-reflectivity silver-alloy mirror coating is applied on the reflective surface of the auxiliary prism for maximum brightness.
An auto-power shut-off function prevents unnecessary battery consumption if the binoculars are left powered on. This function is engaged after approximately 60 minutes, letting you focus on the view while minimizing the need to press a button repeatedly to activate the stabilization.
The ergonomic design fits comfortably in the hand, with a large focusing ring that enables quick focusing. Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click facilitate easy positioning of the eyes at the correct eyepoint.
The new Nikon Stabilized 10×25 S and Stabilized 12×25 S models will be available starting in early November, with an MSRP of $849.95 and $859.95, respectively.
