Nikon releases stabilized binocular series

Nikon Inc. announced new stabilized binocular series with two new models featuring a compact, portable design while incorporating an original stabilized function to provide a clear and stable image. This original stabilization system in the new 10x and 12x models reduces vibrations caused by hand movement by approximately 80%. The new Nikon STABILIZED 10×25 S and STABILIZED 12×25 S models will be available starting in early November, with an SRP of $639.95 and $649.95 respectively.

These new stabilized binoculars weigh only 13.9 oz (stabilized 12×25 S model) and are powered by 2xAA batteries, providing up to 12 hours of battery life.

“Recently there has been a surge in popularity for stabilized binoculars, and Nikon’s expertise in optics uniquely positions us to give all types of customers an extremely appealing option,” said Jeff Abler, VP of Sales and NPS, Nikon Inc.
