The binoculars are perfect for plane spotting. The only slight complaint is the weight.  Specification says 2.71 lbs but they become quite heavy after a few minutes.  Feels much heavier than 2.71 lbs.  The stabilization is amazing.

Amazing stabilization but a little heavy.

Bought these to use on a eclipse trip years ago.  They are a bit heavy, but work so very well.  Re battery problem.  Don't leave batteries in them for long periods.

Nikon Stableye binos.  Pricy but very good.

We hunt in western Colorado and Wyoming, among other uses. There is one word for this product- totally cool- oh, that is two words because they are that good.  Perfect, crisp optics, easy adjustment and the ability to pick out items easily missed with other units.  Stabilization enables rapid observation of an area, allowing certainty of what is there to be seen.  They are fairly large and heavy, so only appropriate for truck or a pack if you choose to carry them.  I suspect the complaint in another review that the battery compartment corroded resulted from leaving the batteries in the compartment. The factory Toshiba batteries had leaked and corroded in the unopened package- never installed. I suggest using a good brand of battery, and removing them upon extended storage- per the instuctions provided.  I love this product.

Bright stable images, high magnification

Fantastic optical stability system.  Both on land where it precisely controls hand held jitter, and at sea where it controls jitter and a separate system compensates for vessel motion.

Truly Stable at 40X

It's a Nikon, and lives up to their reputation for ease of use, ruggedness, and clear bright images.  Stability system provides rock steady images on land AND at sea!  I used it, at sea, in Alaska.  It compensated for boat motion and hand motion.  Highly recommended.
