Alpen Apex Steady Image Stabilized Binoculars
Image stabilized binoculars use active stabilization to cancel the natural hand shake that makes high-power binoculars difficult to hold steady. Alpen Apex Steady HD binoculars use a 2-axis gimbal system to deliver rock-steady views at 14x, 16x and 20x magnification, revealing details that would otherwise blur.
Normally, binoculars above about 10x require a tripod for steady viewing. Apex Steady binoculars let you enjoy high magnification handheld, making them ideal for wildlife watching, birding, boating, sporting events and astronomy. Stabilized views of the Moon show crisp craters and maria, while scanning the Milky Way reveals more stars and clusters than standard binoculars at the same power.
The Apex Steady lineup includes the compact 16x30 for travel, the 14x42 for a balance of brightness and power, and the 20x42 for maximum reach. BaK-4 prisms and multi-coated optics deliver bright, high-contrast images. If you have ever struggled to hold high-power binoculars steady, image stabilized binoculars will change how you see the world.
