I think it’s fair to call Unistellar’s Envision Binoculars the smartest pair of binoculars on the planet, and while limited stocks last, US customers can pre-order and get $500 off the RRP, while UK buyers can save £400. That’s roughly a third off the RRP! And while the reduced prices of $999 / £899 are still a significant outlay for a pair of binoculars, the Envision isn’t your average pair of ‘bins’. They boast Unistellar- and Nikon-integrated tech, for an augmented reality experience that’s set to deliver like none other. The first batch of pre-orders has already sold out, and the second batch is selling fast, so make sure you check them out if you're interested. Envision works in conjunction with a companion app and is said to draw from a database of millions of elements, providing information via augmented reality on a huge variety of outdoorsy objects, including trails, peaks, and celestial objects. It can even pinpoint Apollo landing sites on the moon. Target Lock mode allows you to lock onto a target, hand the binoculars over to a companion, and the AR will guide the person to your point of reference. You can also turn the tech off and use the binoculars the old-fashioned way. This offer only applies to a limited number of 350 units, off which, at the time of writing, only around 60 are left. The binoculars are currently due to be delivered in November 2026. Along with the binoculars, you get a carrying bag, neck strap, and charging cable. The Kickstarter for Envision finished in July 2024, as of right now, the company states that the binoculars have been designed, mass-production tools are being built, and components required to manufacture thousands of units have started to be ordered.
