Vanguard Endeavor HD 20-60x82 Overview

The angled-viewing Endeavor HD 20-60x82 Spotting Scope from Vanguard combines a nitrogen-filled magnesium housing and a fully multi-coated optical path to create a well-equipped zoom optic for intermediate- to long-range observation. Vanguard gave the Endeavor HD series an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens system and phase-corrected BAK4 prisms, which maximize light transmission and produce color-faithful images that are rich with contrast.

This version of the Endeavor HD spotting scope includes a 20-60x zoom eyepiece featuring a rubber zoom dial. A 1:3 zoom ratio and 2.1-1.0° angle of view complement the eyepiece's long 19mm eye relief and rubber eyecup, which help to provide additional viewing comfort for long-duration observations.

In addition to the image quality and weather-sealed construction, the Endeavor HD includes several features that enhance the scope's functionality. A stacked dual-focus mechanism enables the observer to make fine- and coarse-focus adjustments. The tripod mounting foot has a standard 1/4"-20 socket and is compatible with Vanguard tripods that accept the universal mounting shoe. An integrated sunshade and included custom-fit raincoat carrying case help to make the Endeavor HD a full-featured spotting scope for outdoor use.

Vanguard Endeavor HD 20-60x82 Reviews

Scope is ok

By Brian
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2024-04-21

The scope itself is just ok compared to the more expensive scopes. The tripod and digiscoping adapter were worthless. I replaced both of them and will try the scope out again. I bought a phone scope specifically for this model scope and my phone so it should be easier to use. The tripod legs and head are small ring now and are far more stable than the supplied one. The case fits nicely. I am still considering returning the entire kit.

is the rubber eyecup a foldup eyecup or a twist up eyecup?
Asked by: bruce
The rubber eyecup twists up. It works very smoothly. I wear glasses and my wife doesn't so this is the perfect setup. You don't have to worry about rubber getting old and brittle.
