Japanese brand Kenko’s boast for its Vc Smart Light range is that they’re its smallest and lightest binoculars to offer built-in ‘Vibration Control’, more commonly termed as 'image stabilization'.
'VC’ or 'IS' aside, the core features are a decent 14x magnification married to a large-for-its-dimensions 30mm objective lens. The larger the magnification and lens, the larger the binoculars’ dimensions, traditionally, especially when there’s a built-in gimbal to provide a steady view. So, I’m on a constant quest to find that sweet spot between a good specification, a practically portable size, and, of course, a great performance. Has Kenko provided that here?
