Swarovski Optik produces some of the world's finest optical designs and products. Their brilliant, innovative optical products & designs exemplify their commitment to uncompromising quality.
Whether your outdoor excursion revolves around birding, digiscoping or long-distance scenic viewing - the ATS-80 HD brings an outstanding and unparalleled level of optical performance to the table. Swarovski's High Density glass lenses nearly eliminate optical distractions such as color fringing and a lack of color-rendition. In fact - the optical refinements of the ATS-80 HD offer a field of view with intricately-patterned subjects with crisp delineation - a feature that enthusiastic birders will greatly appreciate.
This ATS-80 HD does not come with an eyepiece. Please select one from the list of compatible oculars listed under 'accessories'.
Swarovski's newest eyepiece designs are rugged, lightweight and brilliant performers meant for a lifetime of faithful service. Helicoid-type eyecup designs accommodate those with and without eyeglasses alike.
The Swarovski Tripod 1 with Fluid Panhead is an excellent choice to support your spotting scope. Made to be hauled about in the field, it assembles quickly and easily. It comes with a fluid pan head that provides smooth and fluid panning, and comes supplied with an extra long panning handle.
This bracket facilitates placing a non-SLR digital camera near the eyepiece of your Swarovski ATS 65mm and 80mm series spotting scope, allowing you to record the images without having anything screwed into the digital camera's filter rings.
A big, distinct advantage of this device is that it allows the camera to be quickly flipped up and out of the way for normal user observing through the eyepiece! No longer must you make the sacrifice of constantly viewing through the digital camera, because the time it takes to change between digiscoping and simply observing is minimal.
This bracket provides better rigidity than any of the camera or scope-specific adapters, and rigidity of the unit in ultratelephoto photography is always a battle. You'll need to have the recording device as close to the scope's eyepiece as possible to minimize the chance of vignetting.
As with all efforts in digiscoping, a sturdy tripod with a video-type pan/tilt head as well as a cable release or remote control for your camera are of paramount importance. Logical choices for a tripod/head combination are indicated here as accessories, with an ascending order in price & support.
