Their 16x magnification is paired with 40 mm objective lenses and ED glass, which reduces chromatic aberration and improves sharpness. The stabilization system compensates for movements of up to plus or minus 3°. Weighing 1.9 lbs (856 g), they are IPX7-rated and can withstand accidental immersion down to 3'3" (1 m) for 30 minutes. Claimed battery life is 30 hours on two AAA batteries.
The plus: effective electronic stabilization that finally makes high-magnification viewing comfortable on board.
