National Geographic 20-60x60 Spotting Scope
The National Geographic 20-60x60 spotting scope gives you smooth, continuous zoom from 20x to 60x magnification. You can adjust the view instantly - from a wide landscape overview to a close look at a distant bird or animal. The metal body with rubber armouring handles everyday outdoor use with ease, and the whole instrument weighs just 1 kg.
Optics and image quality
The 60mm objective lens gathers enough light to deliver a clear image even at higher magnification. At 20x, the field of view is 29 m at 1000 m, which makes it easy to follow moving subjects. The minimum focus distance is 12 m at 20x, so you can also observe subjects at closer range. The blue tint on the lenses indicates a surface coating - all optical elements are fully coated for improved light transmission and colour contrast.
Compact and practical design
At 350 x 155 x 95 mm, the scope fits easily into a backpack or bag. The objective lens cap and the eyepiece cap are removable separately, so your optics stay protected during transport. You can also attach a smartphone to the eyepiece for digiscoping - photographing what you see through the scope.
Who is this spotting scope for?
This scope is designed for birdwatching, wildlife observation and general nature watching on hikes and outdoor trips. The zoom lets you respond quickly to changing distances without swapping eyepieces. It is a practical choice for anyone who wants reliable optics without unnecessary bulk or weight.
