You might as well not lie to yourself: Steiner is the Rolls of the marine twins. The quality of manufacture, the hyper bright lenses, the nitrogen pressurization to avoid any infiltration of humidity, the solidity to any test...
Order, the top-of-the-range model
Among the models, the Commander is the top of the range. It is the one who best allows light to pass through the lenses. With a very wide field of view (117 m to 1000 m), and a magnification x7 these binoculars are perfectly adapted to the boat. A special belt (optional) allows them to float to recover them in the event of an accident. The quick release (Clicloc) ensures a quick belt change.
Accurate up to 1.7 km
The laser rangefinder that is integrated into the binoculars is displayed as a red dot in the center of the sight. At the touch of a button, the distance in metres is displayed next to it. Telemetry remains very accurate up to a range of 1700 m.
Already used by all crews in previous Volvo Races, these binoculars are certainly a good investment for sailors, especially since they are guaranteed for 30 years. But indeed we are talking about investment, because the LRF model integrating the laser presented here is displayed at 1,999 euros..
