The Opticron 10x30 Imagic Image-Stabilized Monocular builds on the success of their first IS monocular with upgrades that include a larger objective and an eyepiece for improved performance across the board. Using the IS system lets you enjoy high-power views of the world around you without having to use a tripod—all in an optic that weighs just 13 ounces and measures six inches long.
Optical Performance
- Two-axis image stabilization system provides a wide ±3° vibration correction that helps to compensate for the monocular's high magnification, which would normally be difficult to hold steady under ideal conditions
- Powerful fixed magnification brings distant subjects in for detailed observation—ideal for nature and bird watching, spectator sports, and to view architectural details while sightseeing
- Compatible with Opticron SDL, HDF & HR zoom eyepieces, available separately, to expand the magnification possibilities without having to buy a whole new optic
- 30mm objective lens ensures a compact form factor for easier packing, carrying, and handling
- Roof prism light path produces a thin optical tube without sacrificing performance
- Anti-reflection fully multicoated lenses improve image brightness, color rendition, and clarity
- 315-foot field of view at 1000 yards
