Canon Image Stabilized 15x50 Overview

Outfitted with their proprietary Vari-Angle prism electronic image stabilization system, the Canon 15x50 IS All-Weather Image Stabilized Binoculars are an ideal optic for bird and nature watching, marine use, or astronomical use. Their quick-response time and ±0.7° correction angle easily compensates for the common hand-shake that can make viewing through binoculars of this magnification difficult or disorientating. A single-activation button located precisely where the right forefinger naturally rests makes using them easy and allows you to concentrate on viewing without distractions.

For increased usage, the 15x50 IS will work as full-featured binoculars when the image stabilization is not being used, even if the batteries are dead or removed. Optically, they are built with ultralow-dispersion (UD) glass elements and matching doublet field-flatteners, with their Super Spectra anti-reflection coatings to produce bright and clear high-contrast images without distortion across the entire wide field of view. Protecting the optics and electronics is an armored chassis that benefits from ergonomically designed grips, and a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount socket for an even steadier view. Right-eye dioptric correction, twist-up eyecups, and a wide interpupillary adjustment range rounds out the features of these binoculars that will become your go-to optic for any outdoor activity.

Has anyone had a problem with them fogging up? I have a pair of Fujinon 14X40 that fog up. They are worthless when they do this.
Asked by: Stanley
No problems with them fogging in the three years I have had them. And I have had them between pretty extreme weather conditions (Idaho winter weather in and out of my truck).

What does "electronic image stabilization" means in binoculars? Shouldn't it be OIS?
Asked by: Vlado
The Canon 15x50 IS All-Weather Image Stabilized Binoculars feature Canon's Electronic Stabilization which uses small integrated accelerometers to measure any body movements (or hand shaking) and then sends instructions to adjust the prisms to counteract the detected motion and keep your view steady.

question

I noticed in the reviews submitted by Mr Dave and Mr Bill that they had front objective screw-in hoods on their binoculars. Where can I get a pair of those? They would have to be 58mm for the 15x50 IS binoculars.
Asked by: David
It seems that my original question piqued a lot of interest in this modification for the Canon 15x50 Binox. I kept digging and found the answer right in front of me. As soon as you enter the B&H website, put lens hoods in the Search Box. Then scroll down about 15 items (it may vary from day to day) to Sensei PRO 58mm Aluminum Lens Hood for $9.75. That is exactly what I was looking for. And it is exactly what is pictured in the referenced reviews for the 15x50 IS Canons. It takes two. I will screw a 58mm UV filter in each objective lens, then screw an aluminum lens hood into each filter and top it off with a 62mm lens cap.

question

I noticed in the reviews by Mr Dave and Mr Bill the photos showing screw-in lens hoods. Who makes those and can I order a pair? I have had the 15x50 IS binocs for just over a year and am looking for ways to improve some of its minor shortcomings.
Asked by: David
I use the Sensei hoods my Canon binoculars. I do not have the same model as you, but check your filter size (58mm?) and buy two of the corresponding hoods of the same size and screw them in. My hoods are always on, and occasionally I add polarizers before the hoods when i am on the water. Check these at B&H: https://<a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1079792-REG/sensei_lhm_58_pro_58mm_aluminum_lens.html target= _blank >www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1079792-REG/sensei_lhm_58_pro_58mm_aluminum_lens.html</a>

question

I purchased these just pver a year ago and they have been phenomenal. When the button is pushed for stabilization they snap into action and it is amazing. I would also like to use these on a tripod (wouldn't have to use the IS), but wondering what type of binocular adapter is needed. Ordinary binoculars have the threaded hole on a vertical face between the objectives for use with an L bracket. The Canons have the threaded connection on the bottom like a camera. They could be mounted to a swivel head directly, but the adjustment handle would poke me in the cheek. Any suggestions?
Asked by: David
Use a ball head; no adjustment handles!
