Nikon Inc. announced the release of the new STABILIZED binocular series with two new models that feature a compact, portable design while incorporating on original STABILIZED function to provide a clear and stable image.
This original stabilization system in the 10x and 12x models reduces vibrations caused by hand movement by approx. 80%, letting users view distant objects such as birds and other wildlife, sporting events, concerts, and even landmarks clearly and comfortably.
These new STABILIZED binoculars weigh only 13.9 oz (STABILIZED 12×25 S model), making it comfortable and easy to track and view subjects for long periods with minimal fatigue of the eyes or arms. For extended viewing, they are powered by 2xAA batteries, providing up to an impressive 12 hours of battery life.
“Recently there has been a surge in popularity for stabilized binoculars, and Nikon’s expertise in optics uniquely positions us to give all types of customers and extremely appealing option,” said Jeff Abler, VP of Sales and NPS, Nikon Inc.
