SWAROVSKI OPTIK is setting a new milestone in the world of premium compact spotting scopes with the AT/ST Balance, according to a release posted at The Outdoor Wire.
The Austrian company has launched a pioneering model that combines the outstanding optical performance of SWAROVSKI OPTIK with state-of-the-art image stabilization technology in one device. The result is a spotting scope that reveals a shake-free image – even without a tripod. Its integrated image stabilization means that the system precisely balances out the slightest movements and even allows handheld observation at high magnification.
The AT/ST Balance was developed for discerning users who don’t want to compromise between technical performance and practical application. Compact size, light weight and stabilization will allow the use of a spotting scope virtually anywhere. The new spotting scope is available beginning at the end of November at SWAROVSKI OPTIK retailers and from the SWAROVSKI OPTIK online shop.
With the AT/ST Balance, the company is setting a new benchmark in spotting scope technology. SWAROBALANCE image stabilization, used for the first time in a SWAROVSKI OPTIK spotting scope, compensates for even the slightest twitch of the hand and ensures a shake-free, clear image, even at 45x magnification. Thanks to its low latency, the system reacts without hesitation to any movement.
“The image stabilization of the AT/ST Balance uses highly sensitive sensors to detect even the slightest movements and compensates for them in real time. The AT/ST Balance can process more than 1,000 measurements per second and corrects the lens position accordingly. The ability to observe at this quality and identify accurately using a spotting scope that can be handheld marks a major turning point in observation optics”, said Roland Wolff, CEO of SWAROVSKI OPTIK North America.
