    • An excellent pair of compact binoculars with optical stabilization, at a very reasonable price.
Size: 10x30
At various times over the years I had entertained the idea of buying a pair of binoculars with optical image stabilization. I would have, except that they are expensive and I could not justify the money. I had never heard of Kenko prior to seeing these binoculars on Amazon. Having no familiarity with this brand, I was hesitant to make the purchase. Recently, the price was reduced, and I decided to give them a try. I'm glad that I did. These binoculars are exceedingly sharp even without switching on the image stabilization. They are also surprisingly bright when you consider the objective lenses are not very big, and taking into account the magnification factor. When you switch on the image stabilization, they sharpen up even more, in a way that took me a little by surprise. Image stabilization cancels shake, and shake comes in a gamut of vibrational frequency, from low frequency to high frequency, all inherently random. It is very difficult for optical image stabilization to cancel low-frequency vibration where the movement is slow but covers a noticeable area. Optical image stabilization is best at canceling the vibration at higher frequency. This is vibration that you might not even realize is there (I didn't) until you experiment with a pair of binoculars with optical image stabilization, and you switch the stabilization on and off and observe the difference. You don't really notice cancellation of obvious motion (low-frequency motion) so much as the very obvious increase in image sharpness. This is when you realize that all while you had been using ordinary binoculars, the image was not nearly as sharp as it could have been, and that this was due to high-frequency vibrational movement of the binoculars, that you hadn't necessarily realized was present, because it did not manifest as movement of the image per se, but rather as a loss of sharpness, which you did not associate with movement of the binoculars, but, to the extent that you sensed that the image wasn't as sharp as it might have been, you attributed to softness of the optics. To say all of that a little differently, the optical image stabilization will not eliminate slow random motion that you easily notice and that you know is due to the lack of stability in your legs and in your arms and elsewhere in your body, but it will be very effective at cancelling the fast random motion that is associated with short distance and that is mostly due to hand shake in particular, and will be even more effective at cancelling the random motion that is so fast that you don't even notice it as movement of the image, and that diminishes the sharpness of the image. In still other words, it might not due exactly what you expect, but even if not, it will make the image really, really sharp. And I mean really, really, really sharp. Last evening and the evening before I looked up at the constellation Orion, and at the sword of Orion in particular, which is AMAZING with a good pair of binoculars. This is where you find the Great Nebula, in Orion, aka the Orion Nebula. With a good pair of binoculars the pair of stars that you see right at the nebula will become very sharp but surrounded by that little fuzzy area that remains fuzzy no matter how sharp and distinct the image of those two stars. If you really want to see the difference, you need a pair of binoculars that will render those two stars as very fine, bright points of light, with no smearing or fuzziness. And this pair of binoculars does that very, very well. One of the problems that I have had always had with binoculars, with more than 90% of the binoculars that I've ever looked through, is with getting the two images to line up precisely so that I don't see two distinct side-by-side images. I may be more sensitive to this than most people. But it is very often a problem for me, and this is the reason that I've long preferred the compact 8x23 Nikon binoculars that I've owned for more than thirty years. I was very happy to see that like that other pair that I've used for so long, I do not have any of this undesirable effect with the Kenko 10x30 stabilized binoculars. I'm not certain why. With both of these binoculars, the two objective lenses are close together, and the two eyepieces are set further apart. This is the common style with compact binoculars, and it is the reverse of what is the common style with most all large binoculars including especially the popular 7x35 and similar. I wonder if this design approach is part of the reason for that absence of that problem. I'm uncertain. If you shine a pair of lasers that are precisely in parallel directly into the centers of the two objective lenses, the lasers that exit the eyepieces should likewise be parallel. It seems to me that so long as this is true, i.e., rays that are parallel at entry are parallel at exit, that this problem should not occur. But it does occur for me, with 90% of the binoculars that I've ever tried to use, and no matter how much I experiment with the pupillary distance (the separation of the two eyepieces). If I had had this problem with these binoculars, I would already have packaged them up for return. There is absolutely no problem of this sort, and this is one of several reasons why I give these binoculars the full five stars, which is rare for me to do. One thing that I noticed is that at the lateral side edges of the image, vertical lines are bowed slightly outward at the top and bottom, and at the top and bottom edges, horizontal lines are similarly bowed. This was noticeable, however for me, it was not objectionable. I think this is probably unavoidable without making compromises in the optics that would diminish the sharpness of the image in the center and close to the center. It is a tradeoff in the design of the optics, and this is a tradeoff that I will accept any day. I would not want this effect to not be there, if it means giving up some sharpness in the central area. The one thing that concerns me a little is that they have that soft rubber coating. I don't like this, and I never have liked it because the surface friction you get feels almost sticky even though it isn't sticky. It is a very "grabby" surface texture. This is not my personal preference, and what most concerns me about it is that with every other product I have ever experienced that had this surface treatment, one of the other of two things happened. Either it wore off in the high contact areas and ended up looking ugly, or else it turned into a sticky goo. I am hoping that in this case I will get the wearing away effect, and not the sticky goo effect. I expect that one or the other will eventually happen, and that I'll have to deal with that when it happens. But it annoys me that it seems like it is fairly common knowledge that this is how it is with soft rubbery coatings, and that in spite of this being fairly common knowledge, manufacturers keep doing this, pretending not to know better. Maybe they actually don't know better, but I don't see how they could not. Canon has used the same surface treatment in some of their very expensive binoculars. The complaints about this have been too obvious to miss. When it becomes a problem, the product is long since out of warranty, and not the manufacturer's problem. This one thing, that Canon has continued doing this in spite of knowledge that it is a problem, is a major reason why I decided to eschew the reputable go-to brand and try a different brand. I have no regrets about that, happily, even though I likely am going to have the same eventual aggravation that I would have had if I had bought the Canon instead. But at least I will not that I didn't pay an exorbitant price. ... show more

    • Very pleased.

Much smaller and lighter than I anticipated. Clear optics and good stabilization. Could use lens covers that are attached to the unit. Doesn't come with the battery. I'll try them on the boat later this week and get the crew's evaluation, under more trying circumstances. Well I'm finally getting a "round toit". Used them a great deal while sailing and had many others use them. The big points: small size, clear optics and "Oh man! I can actually see what I'm looking at!" Good battery life. Easy focusing and interpupillary distance adjustment. The 14X stabilized really brings the targets in closer and sharper compared to 8x or 10X unstabilized binocs. They have survived many sailboat races and deck apes abusing them. Although everyone was fairly careful not to get them wet, when they have been exposed to salt spray, I have been fairly good about cleaning them with a damp cloth. Good price (compared to other brands) and people are much more willing the use them than unstabilized binocs. The only thing I have a problem with, is no attached lens covers. ... show more

I had heard my husband mention stabilization binoculars to my son, and that gave me an idea to buy one for him. I sent my son 5 different options, and he picked out this one for him. Long story short, my husband was surprised and loves it.

Got these for work, I use them nearly every day. Have had them little less than a year. They are great quality seem tough and have performed well. Some concerns… stability got stuck once, but a simple on off fixed it. Eye pieces rotate to accommodate fit but I worry how those will wear over time. On off switch is loose with some play in it, hope it lasts. Prior to this I used strainers for 10 years Leupolds for 2, still have both but switched to this for stability control. I need it to see my drone usually .5 to 1 mile out, makes it way easier. ... show more

    • Only good for close up magnification, does not clearly magnify over 300 yards.

Battery life excellent! Lightweight product! Optics do not focus well over 300-400 yards, have to keep on adjusting. Even adjusting one eye is only focused on far away distances. Buyers should be given options to find polarized 30 mm lens for product purchased.

Hi Everyone! I would recommend these to anyone. My only complaint for these to be great binoculars are: Eye piece covers are very loose No Lens covers for the front of the binoculars The switch for the stabilization mode is loose and doesn’t click in a manner that I would want for this price The strap is thin and uncomfortable for this price They don’t even give you a cloth for cleaning the lenses The shipping was long for some frickin reason. But! Other than these things I am complaining about. I would gladly change rating and review if the company addresses these things asap. Reviews matter and I am sick and tired of people giving praise to products that don’t deserve them or companies trying to buy your reviews. Great bino, but they need to make improvements. ... show more
