Variable Angle Spotting Scope

August 3rd, 2007

Most scopes require the user to strain their necks at certain angles in order to view objects from far away, but the Variable Angle Spotting Scope solves this potential neck strain problem by relying on a similar refracting telescopes prism system that can be tilted up to 90 degrees for the optimum viewing angle. This is also great for observing wildlife since it is able to tilt smoothly without resulting in any clicks that might scare off wildlife in the vicinity. Features include a 60mm objective lens and eyepiece lens that come fully-coated with a microscopic film of magnesium fluoride for optimal light transmission. You can even wear eyeglasses while observing, thanks to the 41mm eye relief. You can pick up this rather nifty scope for $299.95 from Hammacher.
