The 18-45x65 AT Balance Image-Stabilized Spotting Scope from Swarovski frees you from having to lug a tripod into the field to avoid the jitter of handheld, high-magnification spotters. Along with Swarovski's premium SWAROVISION package of field flattener lenses and optical coatings, the AT Balance features a moving lens controlled by 1000 measurements per second to counter minute movements from your hands. Powered by a USB-rechargeable battery that provides 12 hours of runtime, the scope comes with lens covers and a carrying strap.
Image Stabilization
- Lens moves to counter minute movements of spotting scope
- Gyroscope sensor makes more than 1000 measurements each second
- Fast, precise voice coil motor (also used in camera autofocus) moves lens in response
- Result is a steady, clear view free of distracting jitter
- Lens locks in center for protection in the event of a fall or sudden loss of power
Optical Performance
- Powerful 18-45x magnification range provides the ability to make detailed observations of distant subjects
- Large 65mm objective lens ensures views remain bright and clear even when observing subjects at extreme long range on maximum magnification
- SWAROVISION: Extra-low dispersion fluoride HD glass limits chromatic aberrations to produce clearer and sharper views with little or no color fringing; field-flattener lens system eliminates spherical aberrations to eliminate distortion at the edges of the field of view
- Generous 165-foot field of view at 1000 yards on 18x, 90-foot on 45x
Use and Handling
- Eyepiece is set at a 45° angle to the objective lens to place the user's head in a comfortable viewing position whether they are sitting or standing
- Click-stop twist-in (and removable) eyecup for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- Zoom and focus collars enable easy use with either hand while presenting a sleek form factor without knobs or protrusions
- Zoom and focus dials have different textured knurling for easy tactile identification, even while wearing gloves
- M72x0.75 objective lens thread allows the use of filters, like neutral density or polarizing, to enhance the view
