This Signature 78 Spotting Scope kit from Vanguard includes the Signature 78 spotter with angled viewing and a 20-60x eyepiece, a convenient table top tripod, and a full-sized lightweight carbon fiber tripod with a quick-release pan head.

The Signature 78 is a full sized waterproof spotter with a rugged die-cast aluminum housing, a BAK4 prism, and fully multicoated optics. Combining the assets of an 80 mm objective and a 20-60x ocular, the Signature 78 offers ample magnification and resolution for viewing distant objects clearly.
