Sony DEV-5K
The DEV-5K from Sony are the world’s first digital binoculars that also record Full HD video2 with stereo sound at the touch of a button. For the first time ever, you can observe and capture incontrovertible evidence simultaneously without having to take your eyes off the subject. There’s also a 3D record mode that captures the scene as realistic stereoscopic video footage. Variable zoom lets you scan a wide area at low magnification before zooming in seamlessly to pinpoint your subject. By turning on digital zoom at magnification settings over 10x, the DEV-5K covers a total magnification range of from 0.9x up to 20x3, rivalling many high-powered conventional binoculars. Unlike traditional binoculars, electronic autofocus keeps your subject sharply resolved at all times, even while it’s moving. Separate images for the left and right eyes are captured by a matched pair of precision G Lens optics by Sony with Exmor R CMOS sensors and powerful BIONZ processors. Independent electronic viewfinders provide clear, detailed images for the left and right eyes, offering a 3D viewing experience that’s comfortable, natural, and highly immersive. The DEV-5K digital binoculars feature Sony optical SteadyShot (Active mode) image stabilisation for clear, stable images even when you’re viewing at high magnifications. As an additional refinement, the DEV-5K includes an on-board GPS receiver that automatically geotags video clips.
