Fujinon Techno-Stabi Binoculars - Are they for You? August 2011 The Fujinon Techno-Stabi binocular is the company's image stabilized binocular and is available in two readily available configurations: the 12X32 and the 14X40. A definite plus for the Techno-Stabi is that it uses gimbal-mounts for stabilizing its prisms as compared to Canon. The Techno Stabi by Fujinon uses gimbal mounts in order to stabilize the prisms, resulting in images that don’t shake or move even when the user is on unsteady ground such as a plane, train, or boat. Additionally, the binoculars do an excellent job of keeping images stable and clear, even if the user’s hands are shaking. Overview and Features.
Fujinon Techno-Stabi 14x40 image stabilized binoculars + Operating Manual. “Unique: it is robust and image stabilized. High-powered, waterproof, center-focus, close-focusing binoculars with image stabilization. They give a stable image even if you're in motion. They get rid of the constant jiggling of other binoculars.”. The Fujinon Techno-Stabi feature multicoated optics with phase corrected prisms, an internal stabilisation device provides a clear image even when used in non-standard conditions.
These binoculars compensate for natural muscle tremor as well as more severe vibrations such as those caused by water going vessels, aircraft (both fixed and rotary wing) and land vehicles. The Tecno-Stabi is fully waterproof, supplied with a floatation strap Price new: £1350 from East of England Binocular Centre Purchased new from Monk Optics several years ago.
In perfect condition. Price on eBay: £470-£1076 from Germany or USA. One dealer at £600 in UK For sale here £400 - no offers SOLD.
Hello, I am new to this very nice forum and I have a question about the Fujinon Stabiscope binoculars. After many years of good service, my trusted Fujinon Technostabi 14x40 decided to stop working. Knowing that repair them if possible is quite expensive, and if not possible there is a fee to pay anyway, I decided that it was time for a new binocular and I purchased a true gyro-stabilized binocular, a Stabiscope 12x40, after reading that the improvement over the Technostabi would be substantial. But to my surprise, after switching it on and letting it to spin for at least one minute (as for the manual), when I operate the lever that release the stabilizing mechanism, the whole image start to 'vibrate' being blurred for a few seconds, gradually reducing the intensity of the vibration until when the image is still. This happens whenever I release the mechanism, last 3 to 5 seconds, and is quite annoying. In comparison, the transition from non-stabilized to stabilized in the Technostabi is much smoother.
My question to the other Stabscope owners (or to members that had the opportunity to try one): is this 'vibration' normal to the Stabiscope or is it my binocular faulty and I should have to send it back to repair under warranty? Unluckily it seem that they do not sell a lot of those units, and I do not know anybody nearby that have one that I could try, to make a comparison. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help. Hello Docuseb, thank you for your feedback, this is exactly what I was looking for. I also noticed that the image in my Stabiscope have those 'vibratons' (or shimmy as you rightly said) when I move the observation to another target, for example if I am looking at something behind the boat, and than move to look to something at the side of the boat while keeping the stabilization engaged, the 'jump' of the image to the new position brings back the vibration again, the same as if I would have switched the stabilization off and than on again. As said, those vibrations can last up to 5 seconds. I think that this is really not normal, can you confirm?

About the idea to open your Stabiscope, I think that probably it is nitrogen filled, maybe you would have better to look for a laboratory that have the equipment to put back the nitrogen and sealing after the lubing service. Best regards, Joe. Hello Docuseb, thank you for your feedback, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Best regards, Joe It's necessary to disengage the gyro when you pan: the stabilization is so powerful that it simply can't move beyond the 5° without touching the stop, unless you make it very, very slowly. The 5 seconds are a bit long, for me.
Do you use the battery holder with alkalines? It's reported that it carries a better power to the gyro than the adapter with the cable. Long shimmy equals too slow gyroscope. Now, if they are under warranty, you should make them see by the aftersale service, as, first, a true reparation costs at least 1500€ and, second, Fuji don't have anymore parts for this model. Lube preventively a motor is one thing, find a replacement if it's burned is another. For me, the nitrogen filling isn't a problem.
I've got a tig soldering machine, and nitrogen, co2 and argon bottles. I think i'll fill with argon, as it's also perfectly neutral, the performance is superior than nitrogen for binoculars. Hello, my Stabiscope is the 12x40 last model, so I think spare parts are regularly available. Yes it is brand new and so under warranty. My Stabiscope can work with three different power supplies: 4 AA alkalines, one lithium cell, or the power adapter. I tried them all with the same results. The example of the pan over 5° is just to show that the vibrations are back every time the image 'jump' over the 5°.

It is my impression too that the problem is related to the speed of the gyroscope not being enough for whatever reason, I will try to send back to Fujinon, even if they already said that 'some vibrations up to 3 seconds are normal'. Let's see what comes out, I can only say that in the past I have purchased, 'as is' as you did, a veeery old and havily used Fraser-Volpe 14x40 mark X, and despite the old, tired and noisy gyro, it show no vibration at all whatever you do with it, switching on and off continuously, panning as much as you want (the image 'jump' but it's back rock-solid in less than a second). I see you are more than equipped for the gas refilling of the binocular. Hello, my Stabiscope is the 12x40 last model, so I think spare parts are regularly available.

I see you are more than equipped for the gas refilling of the binocular. I still have the Frazers, but they are so 'used' that I do not think that they can substain continuous use for hours like I need when I go fishing. My model is very old so optically is ok but surely not up to the actual state of the art. Anyway, not bad neither. They are very sought after, indeed, and if they make noise, it's surely only the two bearings on the gyro axis that need to be changed.

I just finish to make the operation on my stabiscopes. Very easy, the conception is so neat that it took me less than three hours to do it. 8€ for two r3-zz and they are like new, no more noise, no more spinning! I just regret to have put normal bearings, i should have installed new ceramic models instead, but my Fujis were stuck and i needed them for the summer holidays, so no weeks to have to wait for an overseas parcel.
