Nikon Stabilized 12x25 Reviews

Doesn't work w glasses, fragile & unrepairable

By Scott
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-05

The eye cup extenders don't retract far enough to allow a full field of view when wearing glasses. Even smashing them uncomfortably against my glasses failed to let me see more than about 50% of the full field of view! Additionally, a minor drop (after only a couple weeks use) misaligned the two barrels. Local shops in Seattle wouldn't repair and suggested sending back to Nikon. I learned the hard way that not only do you get to pay Nikon for shipping both ways (~$50), but also their repair department sent back a really discouraging one-liner estimate: not repairable for less than $695 (the purchase price)!

These are crystal clear, the IS is perfect. Size is a bit small but they work fantastic. I recommend them.
