14x40 StabilEyes 14x40
  • Two vibration reduction modes:
    LAND mode for when footing is secure, to compensate for vibration from hand-shake and binocular movement when user follows a moving subject while studying nature or watching sports ON BOARD mode for when footing is unstable due to strong vibration
    - for example, from an strong wind

  • Floating strap provided

Vibration reduction principle
The face of the internal erecting prism shifts direction, thereby redirecting the light beam and stabilizing the image. When there is no vibration and the binoculars are parallel to the line connecting the viewer’s eye to the subject being viewed (a), the prism transmits the light straight through. When there is vibration and the binoculars are not properly aligned (b), as long as the prism is not moved the light beam will be transmitted to the viewer’s eye. This example illustrates rotation on the horizontal axis.
The StabilEyes prisms feature a gimbaled frame controlled by two piezoelectric sensors and two direct drive motors to ensure constant stability.
