Gyro stabilized binoculars

Patriots,

Does anyone know where I can get some Gyro Stabilized Binoculars??? I'm dealing with a short-fuzed tasker here and was wondering if any of you guys/gals could give me some purchasing details (including NSN's). Thanks in advance . . . . .

I'm not sure if you are open to a more flexible solution but if you are- Kenyon labs has products that can be used with your cameras, video cameras, modded binoculars ets. Anything with a female 1/4" threaded camera mount on them can be stabilized. The K-2 is the smallest/least expensive unit. link below.

We had a pair of these in Iraq, handed down from a previous squadron: http://www.fujinonbinocular.com/cgi-bin/prod/list?p=71

I personally brought a pair of these: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=128&modelid=7375, which one of our pilots promptly dropped to the ramp while trying to hand them down to one of our ground guys. Funny how fine optics are not designed to take 10-foot drops to concrete... :-(

I actually liked the Canons better than the Fujinons, even though they were less than 1/3 the price - better image quality and stabilization. If you or your organization has an IMPACT card you should be able to purchase a set directly (although the specific rules for things like this are beyond me...)

Thanks for the gouge fellas. GSA order placed for four sets (they're only about $4,600.00 per pair!!!):

I tried a Canon IS $1200 pair in theater and they gave me a headache. I could see them adjusting to my movements when looking at long ranges. I didn't like them.

Nayone give them good reviews?
