Image stabilized binos?

Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg talks fondly of the elusive Zeiss 20x60 mechanically stabilized binoculars, for the purpose of deer management on his own land:

He is now using the Alpen Optics IS 20x42 which seems to be a clone of the Sig or vice versa. It is a paid endorsement, but he did look rather uncomfortable trying to lug around both a normal binocular and the massive Zeiss model while spot and stalking.

Yes, he is very much the aristocrat, but I have enjoyed his roe deer series. As an American, and often traveling or hunting in Europe, I am sure that I have occasionally been a social disappointment to occasional members of various fallen royal families.

 
I was in the safari classics office this past week and got to play with a pair manufactured by Kite optics. They also have an image stabilizing spotting scope. Both seem to be reasonably priced with good functionality.
