Steiner Commander V 7 x 50 mm Binoculars... world-class professional ocean yacht racers agree they're the best! Take it from legenday skipper Dennis Conner: "We've used a lot of binoculars over the years, but when we outfit a boat for the America's Cup or the V.O.R. Round-the-World race, we choose Steiner for reliability, brightness, and their exceptionally stable and accurate compass." Talk about high praise from an informed source! If you're after the brightest optics for unparalleled performance at night or in low light conditions, here are the brightest Binoculars made: the Steiner Commander V. With "HD" High-Definition Nighthunter technology that delivers 96% peak light transmission, the highest ever recorded. You choose a standard model, or one with integrated high-performance illuminated compass. The analog compass and ranging reticle are reliably precise and don't impede your view. Compass-illumination button is easy to operate even with gloves on (uses 2 watch-type alkaline batteries for the illuminator). Each Commander V is hand-built to be mil. spec. waterproof and shock resistant, with a Steiner 30-year limited warranty; Special BaK-4 prisms and unique coatings ensure unsurpassed light transmission for sensationally clear, high-contrast three-dimensional vision. Internal stray-light-prevention system (a series of baffles) helps create the 96%-plus peak brightness; High-quality Makrolon housing protects the inner workings. Guaranteed shock-resistant and 100% mil. spec. waterproof (tested to a submersion depth of 5 meters). Rubber armoring offers toughness and a great grip; Nitrogen pressure purging completely eliminates inner fogging from -40-deg. F to +176-deg. F (-40-deg. C to +80-deg. C); Intelligent prism suspension with special silicon carriage keeps your view completely aligned, even in rough conditions; Steiner Sports Auto-Focus... you set the focus once and then everything from 20 yards out is sharply defined, without further adjustment.
