Fraser Optics introduces Monolite

By General Aviation News Staff · September 2, 2013 ·

WARMINSTER, Pa. — Fraser Optics has introduced the 14×40 Monolite gyro–stabilized monocular.

The Monolite is the world’s first gyro-stabilized monocular, according to company officials.

Designed for aviation use, the internal gyro will remove up to 98% of image motion, providing clear images while onboard and under way. With the new Monolite, it is easier to see details at great altitudes and distances.

It’s also 100 percent sealed, buoyant, submersible and waterproof, which means it can be used outdoors and in wet conditions.

Weighing in at under 2 pounds, the unit operates for up to eight hours on one CR123 battery. The optional smartphone/smartpad attachment allows users to connect to the Monolite capturing still or video images directly to their smart device.
