Default Binoculars

Did someone mention stability control? I like that feature.

use of binoculars is silly. Low light conditions are where binoculars

slow otherwise they would be a real hazard to navigation.


In my opinion binoculars are not useful, if you can't see anything.
The most important factors being those that help you see what
you are looking at better.

1 point to Gilligan. Light gathering is very important. Honorable
mention to Joe and CM for pointing out quality as a factor. It's
clear that you get what you pay for.
