Description
"Pause button lets you return briefly to normal viewing without fully exiting image-stabilizing mode. Topside finger-holds ensure a great grip. Five-degree field of view lends a wider peripheral vantage." - Wired Magazine
Nikon's newest stabilized binocular, the 12x32 StabilEyes, joins the existing 14x40 model to offer rock steady, high magnification viewing in a lighter weight, more compact package. To achieve this incredible image stabilization, the new 12x32 StabilEyes uses a gimbaled servo system to provide a view that is unaffected by shake or vibration. All lenses are fully multi-coated, and prisms are phase-correction coated for the ultimate in brightness and resolution. Waterproof and fogproof, the new 12x32 is the perfect choice for the active hunter. Powered by 2 AA batteries (included).

These are the best pair of glasses I've ever owned. For the first time I can lease my sunglasses on and still see what I'm looking at. Great for wildlife and on the water.

Great for watching sailboat racing which we do a lot of. Stability, focus and weight are on the money, so much so that my wife wants her own pair.

Comments about Nikon 12x32mm StabilEyes VR Image Stabilized Binoculars:
I too have the camoflage version of these as did the prior reviewer. I also have very old, 20 x 50 binos and this are FAR superior. The images are sharp, clear, have good contrast and the stabilization is superb. Watching sky divers is fantastic with these, from the door of the aircraft to the ground, very easy to follow. I am very satisfied with them.
AND they are an excellent binocular even without the stabilizer. So if you run out of batteries in the field....you can still use them...the images will just be a bit more bouncy.
These are the only pair of binoculars I've ever used that work well with glasses. Bar none!
Are they perfect...course not. For the price though, they are an excellent value.
Comments about Nikon 12x32mm StabilEyes VR Image Stabilized Binoculars:
I have the Camoflaged finish version of this binocular. The optics are ok. But I have old single-coated binocs from Taylor that must be 40 years in the attic and bought at a thrift shop for 20 bucks that have more contrast and snap than these. Though resolution is good enough, there's no sparkle to this image. Viewing is functional, not pleasing. Sometimes barely functional. Even though the image circle is large, your eye must be fairly exact in the middle of the eyepiece or you get annoying circular edge blackouts. Not as badly as some older models of binoculars I have used, but I would have hoped for a more forgiving tolerance...at this level. I'd say if you MUST have a stabilizer, and I do fit that category, then this is possibly one of your default best choices. But if you can live at all without it, then choose a plain model with good optics for the same or less money. The Stabilized Nikons are heavy and solid, appear to have been well-made. Though Nikon branded, they are Made in China. I don't really LIKE these glasses, I just need them to get the stabilizer.
