If you’ve ever spotted a buck walking into the timber at 1200 yards and you don’t have your tripod/spotter setup, you know the problem. This new AT/ST Balance solves it.
Swarovski built this as a world-class spotting scope first, and added stabilization second. That means you are sacrificing absolutely nothing in resolution or optical performance. What you get is a glass that holds your view perfectly stable, even when you're glassing off-hand, standing up, or fighting a high wind on a ridge.
Big game doesn't wait for your setup. The Balance delivers a sharp, stabilized image the second you bring it up to your eye.
SWAROBALANCE™ Stability: This is the real deal. The tech inside kills hand tremor instantly, measuring movement a thousand times per second. No more distracting "after-image" or float like you see in older systems—just a rock-solid picture. Just the right balance of stability so you can scan slowly.
SWAROVISION Glass: It's Swarovski. You get the best optics money can buy. The field flattener lenses keep the image distortion-free and razor-sharp right out to the edges. You will pull details you simply couldn't identify before.
Both models are available in the standard green, so you can pick the one that fits your hunting style:
