Vortex Crossfire HD 16-48x65 Spotting Scope
The Crossfire® HD spotting scopes deliver the powerful tool you've been waiting for. With the proven performance and reliability you expect from a Crossfire®. The wide field of view is ideal for exploring any environment. Arca-Swiss compatible and therefore easy to mount on most tripods.
The Crossfire HD spotting scope is available in different versions, tailored to your specific purpose of use. General considerations when buying are:
Magnification: Higher magnifications offer more detail but can amplify vibration and motion blur. A tripod is then a useful accessory.
Lens: Larger lenses collect more light, resulting in brighter images. Especially in low light. This also makes the scope heavier and less portable.
Portability: Smaller scopes are lighter and easier to carry, while larger scopes are more suitable for observations from 1 fixed location.
As a result, your first spotting scope might be the only one you ever need.

Available in two variants
The Crossfire HD 16-48x65 Spotting Scope comes in two variants, this model has a 45° viewing angle, allowing relaxed viewing through the eyepiece. This model is mostly used on a tripod but can also be used without. The straight-view model is mostly used by spotters who do not want to be seen by the target. In a lying or kneeling position, a spotting scope with a straight view is ideal for looking through. But also from a viewing hut or car, of course. (This straight model can be found in optional accessories)
