Walking the fine line between portability and light gather capability, the 45° angled viewing Endurance ED 20-60x68 Spotting Scope from Hawke Sport Optics features a moderate-size objective, a broad zoom range, high-quality lens and prism glass, and specialized optical coatings. The combination presents you with bright, crisp, high-contrast images with accurate color rendition and sharp edge-to-edge clarity�even when observing subjects on maximum magnification at long distances.
Optical Performance
- Ideal for when you need to travel with lighter gear when you're out on the trail all day
- Powerful 20-60x zoom eyepiece allow you to scan the terrain on low power and zoom in for detailed observation and identification
- Moderate 68mm objective lens strikes a nice balance between portability and light gathering capability
- Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass corrects for chromatic aberrations for increased contrast and true color rendition
- Anti-reflection fully multicoated optics maximize light transmission to improve contrast and deliver accurate color fidelity
- BAK4 Porro prism design for better edge-to-edge sharpness and depth of view
- Highly reflective dielectric prism coatings to reduce light loss and boost contrast and resolution
- 108-foot field of view at 1000 yards at 20x power, 60 feet at 60x magnification
Use and Handling
- The eyepiece is set at a 45° angle to the scope body to put the user's head in a more comfortable position when standing, sitting, or lying prone
- Dual focusing mechanism allows for fast coarse and precision fine focusing to make finding and viewing multiple or moving subjects fast and easy
- Slip-resistant focusing knobs are easy to manipulate in cold or wet weather, even while wearing gloves
- Twist-up eyecup allows you to fine-tune your perfect eye relief with or without eyewear
- Standard 1/4"-20 mount is compatible with most quick release plates, heads, and photo/video/field tripods and other support systems
- Long 20mm eye relief improves viewing comfort by providing a generous eye box and reducing eyestrain for easier viewing, especially during long glassing sessions
- Comfortable 3.4mm exit pupil at 20x
Construction Details
- Lightweight, temperature-resistant, and durable polycarbonate chassis
- Chassis' temperature resistance virtually eliminates the expansion and contraction common with metal chassis that can cause the optical components to move out of alignment over time
- Nitrogen filled and sealed to be waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature and environmental conditions
- Built-in retractable sunshade helps to limit peripheral reflections and lens flare to improve contrast and prevent spooking animals and birds
- Included stay-on/view-through soft cover offers maximum protection for the spotter while retaining full access to the tripod mount, focuser, sunshade, and eyepiece
