Features
15-45 Wide Zoom Eyepiece
The 15-45x zoom magnification allows users to easily adjust the range and field of view for objects that are on the move. The lower range of magnification (15x) provides a larger field of view, which is ideal for spotting birds and other wildlife. The higher range of magnification (45x) is perfect for identifying and observing subjects at a distance in detail once you've spotted them.
Pure Crystal Fluorite Kowa's Pure Crystal Fluorite lenses are a clear step-up from even the highest quality optical glass. Its unique property of ultra-low dispersion eliminates almost all color blur present in optical glass and easily captures the smallest details and subtle color differences. It outperforms other premium optics in both back-lit and low-light conditions as well. Compared with other top competitors, even a novice could tell the difference in Kowa's Pure Crystal Fluorite. Water & Fogproof The TSN-553 housing is waterproof to JIS Protection Class 7 and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent internal fogging for clear viewing in any weather. Lightweight Polycarbonate Body The impact-resistant polycarbonate chassis provides the strength and feel of a traditional body but at a much lighter weight which makes it great for packing in and out on long hikes. Anti-Glare Sunshade The twist-out sunshade increases optical performance by reducing glare on the objective lens. Slide the hood away from the body to protect the lens from exposure to rain or to keep direct sunlight from entering the spotting scope. When the object you wish to view is difficult to find, the sight built into the lens hood can be used to find the object. Quick Focus & Fine Adjustment The focus knob of the spotting scope has a convenient two-step mechanism that allows for a smooth transition from quick focusing to fine adjustment so you can spot your subject easily and with all the detail Kowa's Crystal Fluorite lenses have to offer.
When the object is substantially out of focus, use the quick focus knob, to bring the object into focus 3 times faster than when using the fine focus knob. The quick focus knob can focus from 5m to infinity in only two revolutions. The fine focus is convenient for fine focusing and slight adjustments. The minimum focus distance is 5 meters. Rotating Tripod Mount The rotating tripod mount allows the spotting scope to be set at various angles while attached to the tripod so you'll always have the best view. The body of the spotting scope can be turned by loosening the lock screw counterclockwise and rotating the scope to the desired position. (The rotation range of the spotting scope is 225°.) Universal Tripod Mounting Screw The tripod mount has a removable screw that allows the spotting scope to be attached to either 1/4 and 3/8 inch tripod heads. With the tripod screw inserted the mount can be used on 1/4 inch tripods. Removing the screw allows the scope to be attached to 3/8 inch tripods.
