The world's first Fieldscopes featuring Nikon's lens-shift type VR (Vibration Reduction) system (as of October, 2011)
Reduces vibrations to approx. 1/8*1 during observation, providing the equivalent of a shutter speed approx. 2 stops*1 faster in digiscoping
Easy VR operation; after turning the VR lock knob, pressing the VR button once activates the function
VR function turns off automatically after approx. 30 minutes of turning VR on (Auto power off function)
Readily available AA-size batteries are used
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass for chromatic aberration compensation and brighter, clearer viewing
Phase-correction-coated roof prism for high resolution
Dielectric high-reflective multilayer prism coating on roof prism for the brightest view (straight model only)
All lenses and prisms are multilayer-coated for the brightest images
Waterproof (up to 2m/6.6 ft. for 10 minutes)*2 and fog free with nitrogen gas (the body/eyepiece joint and the body/battery holder joint are water-resistant*3)
Stylish design
Three tripod mount screw holes provided for flexible mounting; optimum balance achieved through CAE (Computer Aided Engineering)
Seven eyepieces exclusively for EDG Fieldscopes are optionally available
Built-in sliding hood protects objective lens
*1Based on Nikon Fieldscope measuring standard (used with tripod)
*2NOT designed for underwater usage
