Bresser 20-60x60 Travel Spotting Scope
Some trips simply do not allow for heavy equipment - a mountain trail, a coastal path, or an early morning walk in the woods looking for birds. The Bresser Travel series was designed exactly for these situations. The Bresser 20-60x60 Travel spotting scope offers smooth zoom magnification from 20x to 60x with a 60 mm objective lens, and weighs just 660 g without accessories. The tube length when packed is 370 mm - it fits into a rucksack without taking up too much space. The compact plastic body is built to handle the everyday demands of travel without unnecessary bulk.
Clear image at any magnification
The optical system is built on fully coated optics and a BK-7 Porro prism. In practice, this means a bright, high-contrast image even at higher magnification - the relative brightness of the scope reaches a value of 9. The focuser wheel responds precisely and without slack, so you can lock onto your subject quickly without spending time searching for focus. The minimum focus distance is 5 m, which makes the scope useful for close-range observation in nature as well. The smooth zoom lets you move from a wide view at 20x - with a field of view of 32 m at 1,000 m - all the way to a detailed 60x close-up with a single movement of your finger.
Comfortable for all users, including glasses wearers
The eyepiece features a TwistUp system that lets you adjust the eye cup height easily. Glasses wearers simply keep the eye cup folded down, while others twist it up - no tools needed, just one turn. This makes the scope fully usable for everyone, whether they wear glasses or not. This small detail is often overlooked on budget instruments, but it makes a real difference to comfort during longer observation sessions.
Ready to use straight from the bag
The package includes a table tripod, which you will appreciate during extended viewing - for example when watching nesting birds or surveying a distant landscape from a fixed position. The body of the scope has a standard tripod thread, so you can also mount it on a full-size photographic tripod for an even more stable view. A compact travel spotting scope like this one is the right choice whenever low weight, fast setup, and reliable image quality all matter at the same time.
