These Binos are great! Recently took to Colorado on an Elk hunt and had hunting partners wanting to use over their spotting scopes. Also used on a deer hunt in Texas and took a little getting used to for deer that were a 100 yards and closer due to the narrow FOV. I would definitely purchase again.
These binoculars with the image stabilization are absolutely the best I have everused and I compare them to the canon 18x stabilized binocs, I am slightly disappointed with the eye piece protectors that are not snug enough to stay on . I donxt know if anyone has found better ones but I would jump at that chance. To get super stabilization you turn it off and back on and it is fantastic. I could read parked license plates at 150 yards. They are much smaller and weigh less then the canon 18x which is still a good binocular but stabilization with these is significantly better
I used these binos for my successful elk and mule deer hunts this year and can not emphasize enough how amazing they are! The image stabilization is a gamechanger! Ixve tried the top end binoculars of other brands and nothing comes close to these Sig binos. They are so steady that itxs practically like having a second spotting scope with you. I had a steady image glassing hillsides while riding down a gravel road in a truck!
Overall an excellent tool, but needs some refinement. 4/5 stars from me only because the image stability technology is such a game changer. I would rate the quality of glass /5 though. Low angle light glassing is so terrible I have to use different binoculars at first and last light.
Lots of glare in low angle light conditions better anti glare coating for lenses?
Eye cups don’t stay out well
Glass is average clarity at best.
Larger objective diameter for light collection in low light.
Auto off is annoying. Shuts off at inopportune times when gridding/extended glassing.
Integral 1/4-0 mounting and/or arca rail would be beneficial.
Just got back from 14 days hunting sheep in MT. Picked these up just before my trip. Used them every day, all day. I have a swaro 85 spotter (5lbs) amp I barely touched it because these were so effective. I could have dropped 3 lbs by downgrading to a lighter spotter for verification work. The stabilization is amazing. It is freeing not to have to glass from a tripod. It literally is a game changer.
Excellent addition to my optic options. They are remarkable and easy to use with one hand while the other holds the bow and thud are great for archery hunting.
I am very impressed by the optical clarity and the degree of stabilization, especially in tracking mode. Ixm using these for wildlife viewing and would highly recommend them.
