[Geysers] Image-stabilized binoculars

	Some companies - notably Nikon, Canon and a few others, make binoculars which have image-stabilization systems in each barrel.  This makes the image look almost rock-steady despite the movement caused by hand-holding the binoculars.

	Has anyone ever given these things a try in Yellowstone?  Notably, say, in looking at features in the Kaleidoscope group?  It would save putting a scope on a tripod, which is a pain in the (&&.  I've tried them out in the store, and they really do seem to work, but if anyone has experience on the ground, I'd love to hear about it.
