Two affordable AA-size batteries are used, for approx. 12 hours of battery life
Provides approx.12 hours of battery life, which is particularly convenient for watching extended live performances, sports events, and for observing nature. -
You can select the 10x or 12x model according to their purposes and preferences
Depending on the size of a concert venue or stadium, and distance to the observed subjects, you can choose which model is more suitable, from 10x or 12x. -
STABILIZED Technology* that reduces vibrations caused by hand movement by approx. 80%*
Vibrations caused by hand movement, which are often noticed when observing a distant subject, can be significantly reduced.- *The effect of STABILIZED: Vibrations of the image in the viewfinder caused by hand movement (sinusoidal waves) are reduced to 1/5 or less (Based on Nikon's measurement standards).

With STABILIZED function -
Nikon's unique image-stabilised system tracks targets easily
Employing Nikon's original image-stabilised system, you will not get stressed or tired when viewing with these binoculars, even while concentrating on watching their favourite performers, artists and athletes continuously at concerts and sport events. -
Bright and clear field of view
Multilayer coating is applied to all lenses and prisms while high-reflectivity silver-alloy mirror coating is applied on the reflective surface of the auxiliary prism to achieve a bright field of view. -
Auto-power shut-off (after approx. 60 minutes unoperated) function
- Equipped with an auto-power shut-off function that automatically turns off the power after about 60 minutes unoperated, which prevents unnecessary battery consumption if you forgets to switch off.
- Adopts a long auto power-off setting of about 60 minutes so that you can concentrate on viewing without repeatedly switching on several times when using for an extended period.
-
A large focusing ring with excellent operability enables quick focusing
Slim and compact body design enables easy focusing while holding the binoculars. The large focusing ring achieves rapid focusing on the target. -
Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups for ease of viewing
Turn-and-slide rubber eyecups with multi-click facilitate easy positioning of the eyes at the correct eyepoint.

- *1: The effect of STABILIZED: Vibrations of the image caused by hand movement (sinusoidal waves) are reduced to 1/5 or less (based on Nikon’s measurement standards).
- *2: This continuous operation time varies depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and other factors, therefore, use it as a guide only.
