New Sirius 12 gyrostabilized binoculars from Koden combine rock steady vision with great value for fishermen and boaters

Koden, a name long trusted for professional-grade marine electronics for fishing and navigation, has entered the premium optics market with its new Sirius 12 Gyrostabilized Binoculars.

These compact and lightweight, yet ruggedly built binoculars are manufactured in Japan using premium quality lenses and internal electronic components.  Their powerful 12X magnification and wide field of view are ideal for a variety of fishing and navigating tasks, including spotting other boats, dangerous obstacles, breaking fish, diving birds or kelp paddies.   Advanced Japanese lenses minimize light transmission loss, ensuring a bright and clear field of view over a range of light and weather conditions at sea.

At the heart of these binoculars is a precision built-in 6-axis electronic gyro sensor that delivers rock-steady vision whether you’re scanning the offshore horizon for signs of fish, birds, or bait, glassing ahead of the boat to avoid whales on your way to the fishing grounds, or scouting out a tricky harbor entrance or crowded anchorage from a distance.

The Sirius 12 is built for serious sea duty with a list of standard features that includes rugged construction, an IPX7 waterproof rating, an easy-to-grip textured surface for sure handling with wet hands, and eyepiece and objective lenses with a water- and oil-repellant coating to prevent lens contamination.   These binoculars also feature easy-to-adjust eyepieces to accommodate different users, as well as a large focus adjustment wheel and On/Off switch that are easy to operate, even when wearing gloves.  The Sirius 12 also features a sturdy built-in tripod mount for extended hands-free use.

Despite their big performance and features, Sirius 12 binoculars measure only 4.6” X 5.1” X 2” and weigh only 15.4 ounces (without battery).   This not only makes Sirius 12 Binoculars easy to store around the boat for quick access, they also make it easy for offshore anglers to stay “in the glasses” for hours at a time. 

Sirius 12 Binoculars provide 12 hours of operation on a single AA alkaline battery, with an Automatic Power Off feature after 30 minutes to further extend battery life.

With a low retail price of $699 including safety strap and premium carrying case, new Sirius Gyrostabilized Binoculars are a quality marine accessory that no serious offshore angler or boating enthusiast can afford to be without.  To learn more, contact your local SI-TEX/Koden dealer, visit the company’s website at www.si-tex.com/koden/ or call SI-TEX’s Long Island, NY headquarters and customer service center at (631) 996-2690.
