"Apparently the most powerful binoculars ever made for personal use, it is capable of seeing the whites of a bird’s eye from over 500 yards away. An object 5 miles away will seem close enough to touch when viewed. You can even use this pair to kickstart the astronomy hobby that you’ve put off for so long. This pair of $137 binoculars magnifies between 20 and 140 times closer, with 70 times more light coming into its 70mm lens."

Would it be DIY cost effective?

Binocular modifications are a whole addiction by themselves. You can check out a whole bunch of different sites dedicated to mods for binocs. Some people are as heavily into it as we are here. For the casual user a pair of pre made binocs are great. Its once you start realizing EXACTLY wahat you need that the DIY aspect comes in. For some the savings are worth the trouble, but optics are selective and you may spend more time than you wish chasing down parts. In the end it balances to your worth per hour/cost of item over DIY.

speaking of bi-no's and such when I was in Iraq .. we got some new equipment I dont know what brand these things were but man were they cool... they were digital stabilized bi-no's just put them up to your eyes and push a button....it was like looking through a camera after you pushed it.. everything was nice and clear

Thats a military grade MCC ( motion compensation chip) You were actually using a digital processor inside your binos. Commercial apps like that include that new panasonic steady cam. Same principle but the chip isnt nearly as powerful. Did you get a chance to try the differential heat signature mode?

these did not have anything else on them ...they were just bino's ...i have though use a thermal device... that was kinda cool till I had to carry the darn thing thaat sucked very much... its wasint very heavy but it wsa oddly shaped so thier was know way of putting it on my rucksack without it hanging off and flopping around as we road marched ...I really dont miss that day

There's some binoculars on www.woot.com . I don't know if they're any good... Actually I don't know the first thing about them, but they do exist!... ~$22 including shipping.

Thanks Hirudin great find! I'll definatly have to check those out For $23.00 for 20X power I'll have to
