ABSTRACT:
A wedge prism unit is positioned on the optical axes of the objective optical systems of two telescope systems of a binocular. The wedge prism unit includes a front wedge prism element and a rear wedge prism element that are oppositely oriented. When rotated by equal amounts in opposite directions, the wedge prism elements deflect incident light in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis. The wedge prism unit is placed along the objective optical axes of the binocular, oriented to deflect the visual field to compensate for vibration. A control circuit controls a single motor according to a vibration sensor to deflect the visual field in a direction opposite to the vibration. The rotation axis is either within or outside of an imaginary plane containing both of the optical axes.
