Nikon 12x32 StabilEyes VR Image Stabilized Binocular
Overview
Description
The 12x32 StabilEyes VR Image Stabilised Binocular from Nikon offers steady viewing previously unavailable from handheld optics of this magnification. Integrated sensors and servo motors counteract vertical and horizontal motion as well as rolling motion commonly experienced while viewing from a moving vehicle. A fully multicoated optical path and phase-correction prism coating allow the StabilEyes VR binocular to transmit a bright image that is colour faithful and rich with contrast.
Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) system stabilises the image by adjusting the binocular's prisms inside a gimballed housing—allowing up to 3° of motion compensation on each axis. The image stabilised view improves image sharpness and can minimise eye fatigue commonly experienced during long-during observations.
A 15mm eye relief and Turn-and-Slide eyecups with multiple click-stop positions can provide a comfortable viewing distance for almost any viewer. The 55° apparent viewing angle and 11.5 ft minimum focus distance equip the 12x32 StabilEyes VR for intermediate to long-range viewing tasks. In addition to the image quality rendered by fully multicoated optics and VR system, the StabilEyes VR binocular features a nitrogen-filled housing that provides fogproof and waterproof performance.
