The Opticron 14x30 Imagic Image-Stabilized Binoculars let you enjoy high-power views of the world around you without having to use a tripod. Non-stabilized 14x30 binoculars would be difficult to use without a support system due to their high power, relatively small exit pupil, and the appearance of visible hand shake that binoculars 10x and over tend to suffer from. With image stabilization (IS) of ±3°, you'll see the details of far-off subjects without the hand shake that typically spoils the view—even when you're glassing from a moving boat or vehicle. A simple and intuitive toggle switch puts the IS control at your fingertip.
