Also great for Oblong curls, bird watching, etc. The image stabilization would be a nice feature, but you can work around it using both hands and a prop for your elbows. Definitely a must if you really want to see what's going on in Kaleidoscope.<br> Karen<br> <div class="moz-signature"><br> <img src="cid:part1.04050005.00060305@xmission.com" border="0"></div> <br> On 8/20/2013 6:58 PM, Mike O'Brien wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:6018E9C3-6F41-42FF-A151-FC5304CB811F@spamcop.net" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> 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.
