Under $800 Japanese Image Stabilized Binos - Fujinon

[EuroOptic]

Hey guys!
New brand in the house!
Fujinon is trying to break into the Sport Optic space, they were here today for a "training"
I played with a pair of these Techno Stabi's for about an hour
I was impressed by the size, weight (14.8 oz!), form factor.. not to mention the price tag!

Glass was good, I would put them on par with the 1st gen Sig stabilized binos

Here are links to the compact pairs I think you guys will like
Fujinon Techno-Stabi 16x28 - EuroOptic.com - $799.00
Fujinon Techno-Stabi 12x28 - EuroOptic.com - $749.00

Thanks!

Any gear nerds out there wanna test and report?

Do they not have stronger options and in 42 or 50?

They do
Fujinon Techno-Stabi TS-L 20x40 Binoculars
But then we get into the same pricing as the sigs, in a bigger heavier package
These 16's and 12's are in a new league IMO

Jake I think you need to tighten your watch

Jake, don’t lie to us now, would you use them?

It's not Fujinon's first attempt at sports optics. They had a scope line years ago. It disappeared pretty quickly.

Jake I think you need to tighten your watch

I could probably get it one or two notches tighter if I tried

Jake, don’t lie to us now, would you use them?

I would probably keep them in the buggy or the truck.. maybe as a loaner pair, I dunno. I need to spend some time with them in the field.
I just went out into the store and compared them to sigs and I’m a little less fired up about them now.
The price & size is still attractive, but I don’t think they’d be my main binos.
