Canon 18 x 50 IS All Weather Binoculars

I use these binoculars for home inspections, particularly for very large homes where roof access is not practical.

I am able to clearly see details in the granular surface of shingles, the degree of splitting, decay and algae in wood shakes.
For masonry chimneys I can easily see loose mortar, hairline cracks, loose and separated flashings as well as any spalling in the bricks.

The image stabilization is excellent regardless of the distance. For my applications these glasses have exceeded my expectations.

I've also used them in Alaska where distances are vast - phenomenal!
