Canon International 12x36 IS III Binocular #9526B002

Compact Stabilised Optics for Outdoor Enthusiasts

The Canon International 12x36 IS III binocular is built for nature watchers, stargazers and marine observers who need steady, high-magnification views in a travel-friendly form. Its vari-angle prism image stabilisation counters hand shake electronically, while eco-friendly lead-free glass and Super Spectra multicoated optics maintain brightness and contrast. Weighing 23 oz and measuring 6.9 inches long, it suits extended trips where pack space and weight matter.

12x Magnification with ±0.8° Stabilisation Freedom

The single specification that decides suitability is the 12x magnification paired with a stabilisation range of ±0.8°. This combination determines whether distant subjects such as birds, celestial objects or sea life can be held steady enough for detailed observation. Buyers who need wider fields or lower power for close-quarters tracking should look elsewhere.

Nine-Hour Runtime on Two AA Cells

Under continuous use the binocular runs for approximately 9 hours on two AA alkaline or NiMH batteries, supporting full-day outings without a power source. The gyro-driven vari-angle prism responds quickly to movement, keeping the 60° apparent angle of view stable during prolonged scanning sessions. Doublet field-flattener lenses preserve edge-to-edge sharpness throughout the viewing period.
