Bresser Spektar 15-45x60 45° spotting scope
Looking for a compact and practical spotting scope that handles both early morning birdwatching in the meadow and mountain hiking trips? The Bresser Spektar 15-45x60 zoom spotting scope with 45° angled eyepiece is exactly what you need. It offers a great combination of optical quality, ergonomic design and smart accessories - all packed into a lightweight package that fits easily into your backpack.
Optics and image quality
At the heart of this spotting scope is a 60 mm objective lens with fully multi-coated optics (FMC), ensuring maximum light transmission and image contrast even in poor lighting conditions - such as dusk or overcast skies. BaK-4 Porro prisms contribute to a sharp and true-to-life image. The relative brightness reaches a value of 16, which provides a solid basis for comfortable observation in low-light situations.
The zoom eyepiece covers a magnification range of 15x to 45x. At the lowest magnification you get a wide field of view of 49 m at 1,000 m distance, and at maximum 45x the field of view remains a usable 24 m at 1,000 m. The minimum focusing distance of 5 m allows observation of very close objects as well.
Ergonomics and handling
The 45° angled eyepiece is one of the key advantages of this model. During extended observation on a tripod or resting on a railing, you will appreciate not having to twist your neck into uncomfortable positions. The scope body is rotatable, so you can easily adjust the viewing angle to suit any situation.
The quick-focus system with a central focus wheel allows instant refocusing from one subject to another - absolutely invaluable when tracking moving birds. The rubber-armoured plastic body provides a firm and secure grip even in wet conditions. The scope comes with individually removable lens and eyepiece caps, and of course includes a tripod mounting thread for those who prefer stable observation.
Smartphone adapter included
The package includes a smartphone adapter, so you can easily document your best observations. Simply attach your phone to the eyepiece and take photos or record video directly through the scope's optics. The results will pleasantly surprise you - especially at lower magnifications, where the image is sharpest and brightest.
