Ken Burgess has completed the Stereo Base Extender and Wide-angle Lens Adapter for the new Sony DEV-50v Full HD Digital Recording Binoculars. Ken’s first reactions: “Wow! The field of view and stereoscopic display are stunning and Sony finally got the interocular spacing right!” His only disappointment is that, like Sony’s other 3D cameras, it doesn’t capture stills. However, if video of distant subjects is your interest, this is a great new tool! Many thanks go to our customer, Jeffrey Ehrenkrantz, who dropped shipped his new unit to us and sent it back again after we returned from Slovenia!
