So I went to Scheels to buy some new glass, and a friend told me to check these binos out........and damn! These things are amazing!
Hand held, these 18s feel like they are on a tripod when glassing. When added to a tripod, the wind, and bumps on the pod are non existent. When switching back to zeiss 15x56s on the tripod it was exhausting to the eye after looking through the stabilized Sigs. Although they may not be swarovski glass, they definitely have high quality glass, and you pick up more detail without all the vibrations.
I can imagine that many back pack hunters such as myself will use these because its makes the need to carry a tripod not necessary. Or my Mexico hunts in the high rack when bumpy roads, and running vehicles under a high rack make for vibrating views through high powered glass.
The only thing I would say is that the stabilization turns off like every 10 minutes, and I am not sure if you can adjust that or not. Its not a big deal you just have to turn it back on again......but would be nice if it was every 30 minutes to one hour instead.
I hope they come out with a higher powered scope with a larger objective, because I will be in line for it for sure!
Give these bad boys a try, I do not think you will be disappointed.
