Canon CAN1001 15 x 50 Image Stabilising All Weather Binoculars, Black

Product Information

A single-activation button located precisely where the right forefinger naturally rests makes using them easy and allows you to concentrate on viewing without distractions. At 15x magnification, believe it or not these are not even the most powerful in the range (Canon also make a 18x50 IS binocular), but is still way more power than you could seriously use on a binocular without IS without the need for a tripod.

I don't seem to have much issue with the eye relief, but I do have to fold down the eyecups with my glasses on. The number of tests depends on the individual product but we are confident in this product having tested all the major functions. Offering superb quality, with 15 times magnification, high power and Canon precision optics featuring an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens element to reduce chromatic aberration and the Super Spectra lens coating that delivers vivid, high contrast view with accurate colours.

High magnification (15x) binocular with large 50mm objective lenses and Canon's excellent image stabilisation system to help reduce hand shake.

I had two sessions, on a new moon night of 01/03/2022, and the other on half-moon night of 01/09/2022 at my home suburban location, Bortle 6. This is in contrast to many responses to a thread I started a while ago asking about this specific issue. I have used the Canon 10x42 IS before and they were pretty awesome, the stabilization really does work, I was impressed, the downsize was they felt awkward to hold and they are heavy.

If binoculars with inferior image quality are used for an extended period of time, the user will tire easily and may even become sick. My IS 10x30s -- admittedly much lower draw than 15x50s -- having been running for more than a year of fairly heavy use on one pair of lithium cells. We are bringing the latest innovation to this year’s International Broadcasting Convention, one of the world’s biggest media and technology shows.

Interestingly they do come with a built-in tripod adapter and you could use them without the image stabilization feature. I have been interested in IS binos for some time, and I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen them turn up as Cyber Monday deals.

I plan to get UV and polarizers to use with covers, and perhaps a short extension tube for a light-shade. Aperture and power are large enough to put many targets within the reach, even under light polluted skies.
