Fujinon 14x40 TS1440 Techno-Stabi Image Stabilized Binocular

The Fujinon Techno-Stabi TS 14x40 Binocular provides the kind of stabilization needed for its high 14x magnification, and is a joy to use handheld.  In easy conditions with 7 or 8x binoculars, it is relatively simple to get large, steady images up close and personal.  But as magnification increases, this becomes a more difficult task.  Eventually the smaller field of view and more pronounced shake of a large optic can render big binoculars a very frustrating affair.

But the Techno-Stabi's whopping 5° of stabilization in every direction makes it actually useful in such situations as tracking a moving subject while on a moving platform yourself.  It is also great for observing from airplanes, helicopters, or boats, and as a completely waterproofed unit it can be used effectively anywhere.

Beyond its stabilizing capacity, the Techno-Stabi 14x40 TS has Fujinon's EBC multicoatings upon every optical surface, and also has phase-coated Bak-4 roof prisms for great brightness and contrast. The Techno-Stabi accepts DC and AC power sources in addition to the 4 "AA" batteries normally used.
