GlassHawk HD Spotting Scope with Tripod 20 - 60x80mm
The GlassHawk HD Spotting Scope is an excellent, nicely featured and well-built spotting scope. We are impressed with its quality and sturdiness. It is lightweight, easy to assemble, and does the job in an incredible way. With that being said, the GlassHawk doesn't lack in performance at the high end of its magnification range as other expensive scopes like Celestron or Nikon. The image quality is impressive even at 60 times magnification, with virtually no chromatic aberration except for a slight blue tinge to backlit objects.
If money is no object then buy Swarovski, but if you want real value for money, buy this scope. It comes with a 12in metal tripod, a soft case which allows you to change the focus while having it on the scope, a phone adapter (very easy to use) and a bluetooth phone clicker. All those are essential accessories, so their package value is incredible. Designed for any outdoor enthusiast, the GlassHawk HD spotting scope is perfect for bird watching, observing wildlife and scenery and any other outdoor activity.
One of the best features of the GlassHawk HD Spotting Scope is the ED/HD optic glass which is also fully multi-coated to eliminate chromatic aberrations and to keep the image crystal clear even at high magnifications. The 2 fine focus knobs allow for smooth and accurate focusing to get a detailed image with vibrant colors and the adjustable large eye relief 17-12mm is comfortable for anyone. The GlassHawk Scope is nitrogen purged with a sealed o-ring to 100% prevent any water, fog or shock damage and the BAK4-Prisms offer brighter edges of the field view (38-20yds/1000yds) and circular exit pupil.
Overall it is an excellent piece of kit and probably the best value on the market at the moment.
