See and record distant subjects in HD

Now you view and record distant subjects like birds, wildlife and sporting action in detail-packed HD video. With superb optics and comfortable handling, these digital binoculars are packed with advanced features like 3D shooting and optical stabilisation for clearer images.

Get closer to your subject

See every detail of birds, wildlife, boats, planes, distant landmarks or sporting action. ’Sweep’ a wide area to locate your subject: then zoom in smoothly for a closer look at up to 20x magnification.

Record what you see

Ordinary binoculars don’t give you a second chance to relive that moment. Digital recording binoculars capture the magnified scene as crisp HD video or still photos. Replay your memories on a connected HD TV, or transfer clips and images to your PC.

Clearer, steadier images

Higher magnification often means wobbly, unstable image when binoculars are handheld. Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode gives a clearer, more stable view of your subject. It’s ideal when you need to identify that distant bird or plane positively.

Record in 3D

Add an extra dimension to your footage with 3D video recording. Watch the exciting results in HD on your BRAVIA® or any compatible 3D television.

Variable zoom and autofocus

Comfortably-positioned zoom control lets you adjust magnification smoothly while viewing. Auto focusing keeps your subject in crisp, sharp focus without the need to keep adjusting focus manually.
