[Equipped with anti-vibration mechanism! Stable image without worrying about camera shake]
The appeal of binoculars is that you can easily hold them in your hand, but camera shake can make it difficult to see what you want to see. This becomes especially noticeable at high magnification. Atera II ED H16×50WP is equipped with an image stabilization mechanism using a 2-axis gimbal control anti-vibration mechanism. The powerful anti-shake correction angle of ±2 degrees (up, down, left and right) provides a stable field of view even at a high magnification of 16x.
[Equipped with two types of anti-vibration modes that can be selected according to your preference]
Equipped with two types of anti-vibration modes that can be selected according to the usage scene. V1 mode: Absorbs small vibrations. V2 mode: Absorbs slow and large shaking.
[3 coats for a clear view]
The entire optical surface of the lens is coated with 7 or more anti-reflection multilayer coatings (flat multi-coat), which boasts Vixen's highest level of anti-reflection effect. Less light loss than multi-coating (3 layers), resulting in extremely bright viewing and excellent contrast. The prism has a phase coat that reduces halation and dramatically increases resolution, and a super high reflection coat (SHR) made of dielectric multilayer coating is applied to the entire surface of the auxiliary prism. These three coats eliminate stray light and light loss to an extremely high level. You can get sharp, detailed vision with the high contrast that only a top-of-the-line model can provide.
[Grip strap that can be held securely with one hand]
Comes with a grip strap that won't make you tired even when holding it in your hand. The grip strap allows you to hold the binoculars using not only your grip strength but also the back of your hand. Therefore, you won't get tired even if you hold the binoculars with one hand for a long time, making it very useful for use at concerts, etc. You can also adjust the length to suit your hand size. Replacement strings are included in 5 colors, so you can use them according to your preference.
[16 hours of stamina with 2 AAA batteries]
The power source uses 2 AAA alkaline batteries that are easily available. It has a stamina design with a continuous operation time of approximately 16 hours. ※※The battery cover is integrated into the main body, so you can rest assured that there is no risk of losing it even in dark places. *Equipped with an auto power-off function that automatically turns off the power after a certain period of time has passed after turning it on (after 90 minutes) *When using new alkaline batteries at a temperature of 20°C
[Waterproof specification that is safe even outdoors]
Waterproof specification by filling with inert nitrogen gas (optical system: equivalent to IPX7, battery box: equivalent to IPX4). It can be used safely both indoors and outdoors.
[Includes case with transparent pocket]
Comes with a drawstring case (with handle) that can store the binoculars along with the strap. There are three transparent pockets of different sizes around the case, where you can store small items such as spare batteries. You can also insert stick-shaped objects such as penlights into the narrow pockets. Since you can see the contents, you can quickly check what is stored, and you can also arrange it by putting photos etc.
