Darth Maul with a pair of electrobinoculars.
Electrobinoculars were hand-held viewing devices that allowed users to observe distant objects in most lighting conditions.
Characteristics[]

Display of Darth Maul's electrobinoculars.
Electrobinoculars were devices that employed stereoscopic sights and computer-enhanced magnification to allow the user to view faraway objects in great detail and clarity. Encased in durable plastic shells, the units generally cost around one hundred credits. Power for the electrobinoculars were supplied by rechargeable energy cells with a six-month lifespan.[2]
The device's internal display provided the user with information about the object's range, relative and true azimuths, and elevation.
With the built-in zoom capability, objects could be made to appear closer for detailed inspection, or the depth of a field could be widened for examination of the surrounding area. Additionally, radiation sensors and a night-vision mode extended the usefulness of this piece of equipment. A typical pair of electrobinoculars weighed roughly 1 kilogram and cost 1,000 credits.
Electrobinoculars were sometimes confused with macrobinoculars. However, electrobinoculars enhanced images through the use of sophisticated built-in computers, while macrobinoculars did not offer this feature.
The Galactic Republic developed helmet-mounted electrobinoculars for use by their clone forces during the Clone Wars. They were mounted on the clone's helmets, to avoid them having to carry handheld electrobinoculars, and to provide a quick and easy means of viewing far-off objects.
