Swarovski ATC / STC Compact 56mm 17-40x Spotting Scope

As a backpack hunter, I have been waiting for this new ultra light spotting scope from Swarovski for YEARS, and it was certainly worth the wait. Where other micro spotters are focused on size and weight, Swarovski played close attention to the viewing experience. A whopping 20mm of eye relief means that you'll be able to use this spotter for longer sessions. And the impressive 17-40x is only capable due to the extraordinary glass. We expect to be carrying this spotter around a lot this fall and so far its the real deal. VERY good resolution in good light, and a very comfortable viewing experience. This is going to change the way a lot of guys hunt. The ATC/STC is an ideal companion for activities where pack size and weight play a decisive role. With its compact dimensions, the spotting scope is smaller than a standard sheet of paper and will fit easily in any backpack or carry-on bag. The ATC/STC only weighs just slightly over 2 pounds and won’t slow you down on long hunts or adventures.  A removable half shell is attached to the bottom of the spotting scope using the tripod thread, which allows it to rest in your hand or on a firm surface without blocking the focusing wheel (ATC) or focusing and zoom wheel (STC). This allows comfortable, stable observation even without a tripod. The carrying strap supplied can be fitted directly to the spotting scope and provides fast access. Compact Lightness Ideal for rough terrain and remote areas. Its light weight and compact dimensions make the ATC/STC the ideal companion on all of your hunts and adventures. Impressive Versatility Thought out in the minutest detail, the compact spotting scope impresses with its intuitive operation. The removable half shell on the bottom allows easier positioning on a surface and unimpeded turning of the focusing wheel (ATC) and focusing and zoom wheel (STC) at all times. To capture special moments, the VPA allows you to quickly connect the ATC/STC to your smartphone. Overwhelming Fascination Discover the SWAROVISION spotting scope range.
