Hey guys,
I've been looking for a pair of binoculars for work. I currently have a pair of issued Steiner bino's which seem to work well but long hours behind these things with no tripod leaves me feeling somewhat sea sick. I'd like to pick the hives brain about image stabilized binos for use in a professional capacity. Not much changes between recreational and duty use but first hand experience using the product as a handheld versus a tripod mounted setup would be nice.
I'd need really good low light performance with a very rugged construction as these will get bumped around in my vehicle quite a bit. The smaller the form factor the better. I'm picturing myself looking like Frank Drebbin rom Naked Gun with a GIANT set of binoculars pointed out my window.
A range finder could be nice but i don't need any ballistic solutions software. IF it has it, i'm not going to complain as I can use this off of the range too.
What suggestions do we have?
Thanks in advance!
