Nikon has recently unveiled a new line of binoculars featuring advanced stabilization technology, specifically the Stabilized 10×25 S and Stabilized 12×25 S models. The standout feature of these binoculars is Nikon’s new “Stabilized” technology, designed to minimize vibrations caused by hand movements by up to 80%. This innovation aims to provide users with a broader and more stable field of vision, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
To achieve this level of stabilization, Nikon has integrated artificial intelligence into the binoculars, which helps to effectively counteract handshakes and ensure clearer and more stable images during use. This technology is particularly beneficial for activities like birdwatching, sports events, and outdoor exploration, where steady visuals are essential for optimal enjoyment.
Stabilization with artificial intelligence
Nikon’s new Stabilized 10×25 S and Stabilized 12×25 S binoculars leverage advanced artificial intelligence to identify and neutralize involuntary movements effectively, reducing image vibrations by up to 80%. This stabilization is particularly beneficial when observing distant objects, as the AI technology significantly minimizes jitter, ensuring that any shaking is reduced to 1/5 or less.
These binoculars are designed for various viewing experiences, whether for nature observation, shows, or sporting events. They promise prolonged use without causing eye strain, thanks to their innovative technology that makes it easier to track moving targets and maintain focus on them.
Specifications:
Stabilized 10×25 S:
- Magnification: 10x
- Field of View: 94 meters at a distance of 1,000 meters
Stabilized 12×25 S:
- Magnification: 12x
- Field of View: 79 meters at a distance of 1,000 meters
Both models offer excellent clarity and brightness due to their multi-layer coating on the lenses and prisms, along with high-reflectivity silver on the reflective surfaces of the auxiliary prism. This ensures vibrant and clear images, making them effective tools for easily observing distant objects.
Other differences
The new Nikon Stabilized 10×25 S and Stabilized 12×25 S binoculars are powered by AA batteries, offering a battery life of up to 12 hours on a single set. To enhance battery efficiency, these binoculars feature an auto-off function that automatically suspends power after 1 hour of inactivity.
Price and availability
The new Nikon Stabilized binoculars will be available in November across the United States and Europe. You can expect to pay around $639.95 (£699) for the 10x25S model, while the 12×25 S will retail for approximately $649.95 (£719).
