Fujinon Techno Stabi TS1440-14x40: Advanced Image Stabilization Binocular for Unparalleled Viewing Experience Review

I liked them for 3 weeks after purchase and they really worked. Useful for remotely tracking boats and birds in the sea. Pretty well stabilized as the boat rolls. Then the red light started blinking constantly. Changed batteries, didn't help. Even with IS disabled, manual focus is not possible. A flashing red light shows "Problem: Do not use, return TECHNO-STABI to Fujinon. I was very wary of these binoculars given that they are now $1000 and now $1299. Error when calling a real person in Fuji.

We have always used cheaper binoculars and expensive Steiners on our 35ft and 40ft sailboats. I finally gave up and just put a pair of Fujinon 14x40 stabilized binoculars up for sale.
