Zeiss Spotting Scope: Long-range views for hunting and nature watching
A spotting scope lets you make out details at long range, from deer at the woodland edge to birds on a lake. Here you will find ZEISS scopes and accessories.
Spotting scopes come into their own where binoculars are no longer enough. The Conquest Gavia 85 is a large observation scope, while the Conquest Apia 65 with 20 to 50x magnification and the Dialyt 18-45x65 are more compact. For the Victory Harpia there is the 22-65x vario eyepiece, plus neoprene and ever-ready cases. With Photo Lens Adapters for the Gavia and Harpia you can attach a camera to the scope and capture what you see.
What magnification do I need in a spotting scope?
A zoom range such as 20 to 50x covers most situations. Higher settings show more detail, but the image gets darker and reacts more to shake, so a stable tripod is essential.
