[REQ] Possible to stabilize only the UZO ?

Can you show any documentations for that? Unless it's gyro-stabilized (which it isn't), cushioning shouldn't make any difference, except to dampen vibrations.

How? The very reason they have the split-image rangefinder is because they couldn't be stabilized.

and if you were on a boat, that was pitching and rolling in the ocean, you would naturally stabilize the UZO yourself

Again, how? Binoculars you hold in your hands. The UZO is locked into a bracket which is mounted to a stand, otherwise it couldn't send bearing information to the TDC.
