Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular

The Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular is an ideal optic for bird and nature watching, with a Vari-Angle prism electronic Image Stabilization system.

The Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular is an ideal optic for bird and nature watching, and is outfitted with a Vari-Angle prism electronic Image Stabilization system.

The Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular is outfitted with their proprietary Vari-Angle prism electronic Image Stabilization system, and is an ideal optic for bird and nature watching, marine use, or astronomical use.

Their quick-response time and 0.8 correction angle easily compensate for the common hand-shake that can make viewing through the Binocular of this magnification difficult or disorienting.

The Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular has a single-activation button located precisely where the right forefinger naturally rests making using them easy, and an optional 5-minute activation mode allows you to concentrate on viewing without distractions.

For increased usage, the Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular will work as a full-featured Binocular when the Image Stabilization is not being used, even if the batteries are dead or removed.

Optically, the Canon 10x42L IS WaterProof Binocular is built with ultralow-dispersion (UD) glass elements and matching doublet field-flatteners, with their Super Spectra antireflection coatings to produce bright and clear high-contrast images without distortion across the entire wide field of view.

Protecting the optics and electronics is an armored chassis that benefits from ergonomically designed grips, and a standard 1/4"-20 tripod mount socket for an even steadier view.

Tethered front and rear lens caps, right-eye dioptric correction, twist-up eyecups, front filter threads, and a wide interpupillary adjustment range round out the features of the Binocular that will become your go-to optic for any outdoor activity.
