The STS-65 20-60x65mm HD Spotting Scope with Eyepiece (Straight Viewing) from Swarovski
is a rugged yet refined scope from one of the world's most renowned
optics manufacturers. The STS series combines the unmatched image
quality and world-class workmanship that nature enthusiasts, tactical
professionals, and researchers have come to expect from Swarovski. The
65mm configuration is compact, relatively lightweight, and particularly
well suited for the hunter or bird-watcher on the go.
Swarovski's
proprietary SwaroVision technologies redefine the standard for optical
excellence. Fluoride-containing HD elements are the core of the STS
series spotting scopes. These premium-glass elements efficiently
transmit all wavelengths of visible light, resulting in bright images
that are color faithful, crisp, and rich with detail. SWARODUR and
SWAROTOP coatings on all lenses and prisms minimize glare while
maximizing contrast. Phase-corrected prisms ensure that images are
rendered with unsurpassed clarity. Perfecting the optical path is a
SwaroVision field-flattener lens that eliminates geometric optical
distortion throughout the zoom range. Field-flattener lenses
reduce barrel and pincushion artifacts common in wide-angle and
telephoto optics while preserving clarity and sharpness along the edges
of the field of view.
Optional digiscoping accessories from
Swarovski allow operators to transform their STS spotting scope into a
formidable digital imaging platform. These accessory adapters enable
integration with point-and-shoot, mirrorless, and DSLR camera systems,
and feature the build quality and thoughtful engineering you expect from
Swarovski. Now your superior optics can be used to capture
high-definition stills and video of that rare bird or butterfly in your
sight. A removable sighting aid acts as an auxiliary scope for easy
target acquisition while a camera is mounted to the eyepiece.
Ergonomic
handling and user-friendly functionality package the STS premium optics
into a full-featured glassing system. An included 20-60x eyepiece
features a wide viewing angle and generous eye relief, making the STS an
observer's delight and nothing less than you expect from Swarovski.
The eyepiece quickly attaches/detaches from the objective assembly's
bayonet mount for easy disassembly, transportation, and storage. The
nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed, and rubber-armored housing ensure
waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance in almost any
environment. Whether you are in the wild, on the battlefield, or at the
range, the STS spotting scope is engineered to deliver world-class
performance in extreme conditions for years to come.
