The Bushnell Stableview 8x25mm image stabilized monocular (Black/White) features an electronic gyroscope for steady viewing and smooth images. The 8x magnification gets you closer to your subject and fully coated optics provide better light, colour and contrast. It is gyroscopically stabilized for rock-steady viewing even through wind, rough waters and uneven terrain. Gyroscopic image stabilization reduces natural handshake and other shakings for a more natural view. It has a textured grip for non-slip in either hand, plus comes with a textured focus ring that's easy to manipulate with or without gloves. Activate the IS system by sliding the control lever to the side. You can use the monocular with or without the system on - turn it off to conserve battery power.
