Imagic IS image stabalised binoculars 10x30, 12x30 and 14x30
Some people find it hard to keep binoculars over 10x magnification steady without using a tripod or other support. By electronically and mechanically cancelling out “shake” caused by the natural rhythm of your body, Imagic IS binoculars deliver measurably sharper images compared to non-stabilised models allowing you to see more detail with greater accuracy.
We currently do these to order and are not available to see in the shop. But we can probably get a pair in for you to view.
