Thread: Top end Binoculars with all the extras

The Swaro glass is where it is at optically, apparently the Pures are better. I use the old EL10x42 with rangefinder, really good in low light and the true ballistic distance display is fantastic. Can move quickly to shooting from there. Interestingly, Sig Sauer have come out with really impressive image stabilising software which eliminates the need for tripods etc. The glass is pretty entry level - and listening to them on podcast, they are looking to put their higher end glass into image stabilising in a couple of years time. My pick, the other brands (Swaro, Leica, Zeiss) with top optical glass, will need to very quickly adapt and put image stabilising software on their platforms quick smart. Reading between the lines it sounds like they have the top end optical glass supply locked up. Anedoctal reports from hunters in the States are the Sig binos with IS are preferred over Swaros which sounds crazy. I for one hope this puts a rock up Swaro and they invest in this software. IS with Range Finding will be a few more years away, quite the software/optical challenge. There are plenty of good ballistics apps available separate to binos, so not required in my view.
