With its powerful zoom eyepiece, oversized objective lens, and 45° angle for comfortable viewing, the 3rd generation of the KonuSpot-80 20-60x80 Spotting Scope by Konus is well suited to long-range uses from hunting to bird-watching to enjoying the sights of nature or the city to amateur astronomy. The eyepiece is set at a 45° angle to the body to place your head in a comfortable viewing position when sitting, standing, or lying prone, and the tripod mounting collar lets you rotate the scope relative to the tripod for optimum comfort in any viewing position. Anti-reflection multicoated optics and a massive 80mm objective lens transmit copious amounts of light to produce bright & sharp views, even in difficult conditions. Its powerful 20-60x magnification range allows you to scan the terrain for interesting subjects then zoom in and make detailed observations when something catches your attention, with simple focusing knob that brings the scene into crisp focus.
The KonuSpot's housing is wrapped in a protective rubber armor that provides slip-resistant handling for safe setup and breakdown. A retractable sunshade can be extended to prevent lens flare when you're looking in the direction of the sun and helps to improve contrast on bright days. Designed as a complete observation kit, Konus includes a suite of accessories to help you enjoy the spotter right out of the box. First is a view-through/stay-on case that maximizes protection during use. Next is a tabletop tripod outfitted with a pan-tilt head and a control handle for precise positioning and tracking. Finally to document all that you see you get a universal smartphone adapter to capture photos and video through the eyepiece for easy sharing or posting, and a camera adapter that replaces the eyepiece to directly connect a DSLR body and converts your spotter into a super zoom lens for when you want to up your digiscoping game and get better shots than your phone is able to capture. Be aware that the adapter requires an optional camera-specific T-ring to properly mount your DSLR.
