I’ve got a pair of Steiners with the built in compass. I never bring them on the boat anymore when offshore. They do not have image stabilization. Basically worthless unless it’s dead calm. Plus there’s nothing I ever have the need to zoom in 8x to see better that isn’t tiny to start with. I just drive over and see in 2 min.
The big stuff doesn’t matter if you can see it better with binoculars, because it’s usually horizon limited anyway.
