SIG SAUER Zulu6 FDE HDX OIS 16X42mm Waterproof Fog-Proof Portable Roof Prism Binocular with Image Stabilization (SOZ6WP16)

these things are like magic. the stabilization is fantastic. if you're looking for the best glass, then this is not what you want. if you're looking for something that makes it easier to scan handheld, this is the way!

Good image stability. But problem is do not have objective lens cover.

I bought these for my husband as a Father's Day gift and he loves them. The image stabilization is a game changer! Highly recommended.

SIG SAUER Zulu6 FDE HDX OIS 16X42mm BinocularPurchase made for shipment from USA to Spain.Order placed on April 30, 2024, sent with notable delay on May 10, it did not reach its recipient until June 4 as it was paralyzed in the Spanish Customs department for 3 weeks by mistake, acknowledged in writing by the carrier designated by Amazon (UPS).Incidents also with the payment made by credit card because it was rejected by the security algorithms of my Bank for 3 days.The shopping experience can therefore be described as profoundly negative: I will never make a purchase again in Amazon.com in the future.Analysis of the binoculars:The product shipped was not new, it was a used or returned unit, as can be deduced from the adhesives on the seals of the box that were noticeably dirty, as if the opening had been made a long time ago. With dirt and grease stains on all lenses and eyepieces. Battery connected and in use, without the security seal of the same. Scratched eyepiece caps (of poor quality, by the way) as well as traces of general dirt on the body of the binocular and inside the carrying bag.Regarding the performance of the product, and as some other user such as AdAstra has already stated, it is stated that the optical quality of the binocular and its low level of chromatic aberrations are tarnished by a notable predisposition to flare and loss of contrast as soon as the unit is oriented slightly against the light and the vision is moved vertically upwards. This defect is increased if the 2 stabilization modes are used.Likewise, in a night-time use with lights in the field of view, for example in a night-time use in a cityscape with light sources in the observed area, continuous, annoying ring-shaped flashes occur around each light source at the edges of the viewing area.Apart from what has been described, the general optical quality and stabilization modes are correct, always safe from the aforementioned defects.

These binoculars are amazing! I did a side by side comparison with my Vortex 12X50 binoculars and was floored at just how much clearer the image quality. Using the Zulu 6 HDX, I was able to spot a doe and faun 500 yards away that I had totally missed using with the Vortex. The IS capabilities are true game changers! I cannot wait to use them year for hunting deer and elk. I will never go back to conventional glass.
