Fujinon Techno-Stabi 14x40 Binocular

I have an osprey's nest about 200 yds off shore, right in front of my house. I can see them fine with my telescope on a tripod, but that is inconvenient for watching the osprey hunt, soar, and now roost. I researched all the better binoculars, including the IS ones. I am used to an expensive set of 10 x 50 SMCs that are great, but the nest is right at the limit of what my old eyes can discern. At 14x, the Fujinon's might not seem like enough, but when you engage the gyro-stability, the image is incredible. It just pops into 3-D. Grass growing on the nest at 200+ yds, is clearly visible as blades. The male is darker and larger than the female of the pair, which I had not seen using my other glass. Within the first minutes, I spotted the three wharf cats living on the rocks of our east jetty who were invisible to me before. And I can now recognize our harbor seals on their rocks at 300yds just by their spots. The batteries have lasted for two weeks, and the carrying case is cool according to my grandkids. Yes, the price is steep, and they are heavy. I re-used a DSLR cushioned neck-strap with better results than the supplied strap.
The image for the price is outstanding.
