STABILIZED OBSERVATION WITH LRF FUNCTION

The invention relates to a hand-held observation device (1). The observation device is characterized in that a first observation channel (20) comprises a first opto-mechanical stabilization unit (22A) for actively and equally stabilizing, during an observation, a first observation optical axis (40) and an LRF axis (3A) of an integrated laser range finder by compensating for hand-jitter during the observation, the first opto-mechanical stabilization unit (22A) being adapted for continuously adjusting and setting a lateral position (with respect to the optical axis) of at least one lens (23A) of the objective optical system of the first optical observation channel (20), in a way automatically controlled by an electronic processing and control unit (50), which reads and processes the gyro sensor data, particularly in a way wherein the adjusting of the lateral position of the at least one lens (23A) equally stabilizes the first observation optical axis (40) and the LRF axis (3A) in one go.
