The incorporated vibration-canceller mechanism assures very stable image

Vibration by hands makes it often difficult to see clearly objects particularly at high magnification. ATERA H12x30 incorporates a vibration-canceller mechanism with a 2-axis gimbal control image stabilization mechanism. With a strong correction effect of vibration correction angle ± 3 degrees (up, down, left and right), a stable field of view can be obtained even at a high magnification of 12 times. Since micro vibration is also cancelled, it outperforms in observing details such as the shine of bird's eyes and the pattern of feathers. Also, if you observe a star, you can observe up to the darkest star as much as 1st grade than ordinary, which can not be seen with blurring.

Lightest 422g design allows easy handheld use

At just 422g, these are some of the  lightest weight as binoculars equipped with a vibration cancelling mechanism.

Stamina 12 hours duration with AAA batteries

Two AAA batteries are used for power supply. Since it is easy to obtain anywhere, it is safe to observe in the field and live in remote areas.

Thanks to the long-life design of operation time of around 12 hours (using a new alkaline dry battery at 20 ° C), you can focus on observation without worrying about battery consumption. Auto power off function which automatically turns off the power after 5 minutes elapses prevents wasteful battery drain.

Clear visibility by three coatings

By applying fully multi coating with anti-reflection multilayered coat on the entire lens surface, the phase coat on the prism that reduces halation and dramatically increases resolution, and a high reflection coat that increases the brightness of the image, stray light and loss of light intensity are thoroughly eliminated for an extreme clarity in the field of view.

Ergonomically designed for excellent operability

A gentle rounded form fitting to a small hands, a focus ring that can be turned smoothly with light touch by single finger, a universal design that does not choose dominant hands, locating a battery space away from finger-touch area, all designed for holding comfort without stress. Considering loss of parts in a dark place such as a concert venue, we designed battery lid integrated.

The Vixen Optics T-Ring Adapter for Sony Alpha Cameras is meant for use with their various methods of mounting SLR cameras to the rear of their telescopes, but obviously they can be used for anyone who has a T-mount system lens and wants to mate it to their SLR camera without any real trouble. Many, if not most, of the inexpensive T-mounts will get stuck to the camera or lose adhesion to the lens;

With the Vixen Optics models, the superior workmanship really limits the incidence of these kind of annoyances. The T-mount lens and T-mount combination will only work on the camera with the camera in the "M" manual exposure mode. Additionally, the most advanced metering modes usually don't work with the T-mount.
