Spotting Scopes are sometimes essential to see beyond the distance your binoculars can reach. I use a tripod with my Bushnell spotting scope for balance when I want to see across the lake.One drawback to Spotting Scopes has always been their size and extra weight.
So what is a spotting scope?
Essentially a spotting scope is like a portable telescope for on the ground in the field use, mostly for wildlife observation. Though it functions more like binoculars than like a telescope in terms of its lenses and their function. It simply “sees” farther out, like 20x instead of 10x or higher.
Count on Swarovski to cut right through that and come out with a design that is not only excellent but suitable and lightweight enough to take with you on a backpacking trip.
Absolutely a Swarovski Spotting Scope is next on my wishlist.

I have to ask you if Leupold Golden Ring Binoculars – are they all they seem to be?
Recently I shared about my favored Leupold Katmai Compact Binoculars, so you know I have a preference for compacts. These are 10X32. So they are a little larger, weigh a little more and have more magnification and more field of vision than the compacts do.
Remember what the numbers mean? The 10X means you see the object 10 times the size it is. The 32 means the size of the lens opening, 32 mm. You can see more about what these numbers mean here.
Made in America. That is nice. I have heard birders discussing how that is a genuine sales feature because so many binoculars are made in in Europe. I guess there is a bit of pride in having good optics here too.
Binoculars have become very popular in recent years. They have moved beyond military, police and surveillance use and become a common piece of equipment for recreational purposes. Beyond bird watching, they are increasingly being bought for use in hunting, fishing, boating, camping, hiking, in fact they can add to the pleasure of most outdoor pursuits.
You can do most of these activities, in poor light or even in darkness. This makes night vision binoculars an attractive proposition. But they vary widely in price and function and you could easily make a costly mistake.
Firstly, there is a difference between binoculars designed to make the best use of very low light conditions and a true night binocular. If you will be operating at dawn or dusk, low light binoculars could suit your purpose. You can get an idea of how well a pair of binoculars will perform in low light from its Exit Pupil.
