- They were purchased purely for their image stabilisation. I mainly use Swarovski EL 10 X 50 bins. and I have a couple of older Leica models.
The weather just now has not been windy but the stabilisation effect is noticeable. I can use them without having to lean against walls for support. The picture is fairly sharp but optically not as good as the Swarovskis, but they are half the price.

- The eyepiece adjustments are awkward to use but this is because of the design.
The field of view is also limited.
I would not choose these bins. as my only pair BUT in adverse conditions they will outperform all other standard designs.
No matter how optically brilliant some makes are, if you cannot hold them steady you will not get a good view of your subject. If you are going on a boat trip, these are the ones to use .
