Why You'll Love It
  • 20x to 60x variable magnification adapts to changing viewing distances
  • 60 mm aperture helps capture bright images in lower light situations
  • 45-degree angled eyepiece supports a comfortable viewing position
  • Fully coated optics help maximize contrast
  • Nonreflective rubber armoring helps protect against minor bumps
  • Just over 2 pounds for a compact grab-and-go observation setup
  • Suited to birding, nature watching, distant events, and casual stargazing

Bring distant subjects into view with a compact spotting scope built for outdoor observation. The National Geographic 20x to 60x spotting scope combines variable magnification with a 60 mm aperture, giving you flexibility for birding, nature watching, distant sporting events, hiking stops, and casual stargazing. At just over 2 pounds, it is easy to work into a grab-and-go viewing setup.

20x to 60x Zoom for Flexible Viewing

The zoom eyepiece lets you move through magnification levels from 20x to 60x as the subject or viewing distance changes. A 45-degree angled eyepiece supports a comfortable viewing position, while the 60 mm aperture helps capture bright images in lower light situations. Fully coated optics help maximize contrast for clearer visual separation of distant details.

Smoother Tracking from a Tabletop

The included tabletop tripod uses a panhandle control for smooth movement when you want to follow a subject across the scene. This setup works well for scanning wildlife, watching distant outdoor activity, or settling in for a longer observation session without holding the scope continuously.

Protected for Transport and Storage

Nonreflective rubber armoring helps protect the scope from minor bumps during handling. A soft storage and carry case is also included, making it easier to organize the scope between trips. The result is a compact optical tool suited to terrestrial observation, photography applications, and relaxed sky viewing.
