We present relative positions of visual binaries observed during 2009 withthe FastCam "lucky-imaging" camera at the 1.5-m Carlos Sanchez Telescope (TCS)at the Observatorio del Teide. We obtained 424 CCD observations (averaged in198 mean relative positions) of 157 binaries with angular separations in therange 0.14-15.40", with a median separation of 0.51". For a given system, eachCCD image represents the sum of the best 10-25% images from 1000-5000short-exposure frames. Derived internal errors were 7 mas in r and 1.2^{\circ}(9 mas) in q. When comparing to systems with very well-known orbits, we findthat the rms deviation in r residuals is 23 mas, while the rms deviation in qresiduals is 0.73 deg/r. We confirmed 18 Hipparcos binaries and we report newcompanions to BVD 36 A and J 621 B. For binaries with preliminary orbitalparameters, the relative radial velocity was estimated as well. We also presentfour new revised orbits computed for LDS 873, BU 627 A-BC, BU 628 and HO 197AB. This work is the first results on visual binaries using the FastCamlucky-imaging camera.
