I use some binos on the kayak but I wish I had some stabilized binos. $$$

Maybe you could stabilize your yak?

Now that would be a nice trick Bob. All I need is for seakeeper to make a kayak sized gyro that costs less than a new car and then I wont need the gyro stabilized marine binos. https://www.seakeeper.com/

Vortex optics makes great binoculars. And every one of their products has an unconditional lifetime warranty.

Thanks. Was considering them from Baker Marine the next time I am in SD. Saw a larger price variance between models and in my limited research understood a 7x50 works best form most fishermen, and they do not have one. Do you have a model you recommend for the kayak.

I use the West Marine 8x42, Like I said before brightness is NOT the same on these, but they are my favorite for chasing birds, and spotting pattys.
