Swarovski Optik is setting a new milestone in the world of premium compact spotting scopes with the AT/ST Balance. The Austrian company has launched a pioneering model that combines optical performance with state-of-the-art image stabilization technology in one device. The result is a spotting scope that promises to reveal 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 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 AT/ST Balance utilizes Swarobalance image stabilization, to compensate for even the slightest twitch of the hand to ensure 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.
