This is the spotting scope that retracts to only 8" long and weighs less than 2 lbs. for ease of portability. The retracted scope is 50% smaller than traditional models and it quickly telescopes to 10 1/2" long for instant, close-up views of wildlife. The 52mm objective lens is fully coated for better light transmission and visual clarity in limited or abundant ambient light. The lens adjusts from 15X to 45X magnification and focuses on objects without blurring. The scope's casing is made from lightweight yet high-impact plastic and high-density rubber for durability and protection from the elements. The scope has a removable 5"-tall tripod and a zippered travel case. 8"-10 1/4" L x 6" H x 2 3/4" Diam (1 3/4 lbs.)
