I have taken this binocular on several vacations. It is a neat binocular. The image stabilization worked great. It is not a gyro stablized binocular, so don't expect it to be a still image. I was on a police helicopter one time and they had the gyro stablized binos that were amazing. While hovering 1000 feet away, you can see everything clearly while the helicopter is in motion. Don't expect that with this bino. You are not paying thousands of dollars for it either. For the amount of money, this bino was a good deal. First the size is perfect. It is not small, but it is not big either. It was comfortable to have hanging around your neck. It wasn't too heavy. The images were clear and when you press the button, the image stablization kicks in. When you release the button, the IS stays on for a few more seconds, so you don't have to press the button constantly. The only thing I wish is that they would add an extra set of lense covers. You can use them to cover the view holes as well as the front lenses. The battery lasted a long time as matter of fact, I'm still on my first set and I've had it for several months now and have taken it on numerous vacations.

The stabilizer feature is a real plus. Fits very well in my small hands

I purchased these binoculars for use on a 30 foot fishing boat. They work great. The image is clear and when I activate the stabilization, I can read caution and slow notice signs from a long way off. I know that some reviewers have concerns about them not being waterproof. As long as you don't drop them in the water, they seem fine.

Fabulous pair of binoculars for the price. Image quality is crystal clear
