Kite Optics KSP 80 HD2 25-50x Spotting Scope

The Kite Optics KSP 80 HD2 is a premium 80mm spotting scope with a high-definition lens and Kite's MHR Advance + coating system. Shipped with the 25-50x wide-angle zoom eyepiece included, it needs no separate eyepiece purchase, and Kite warrants the fieldscope with its eyepiece as one instrument. Its coatings reach 85% light transmission for bright, high-contrast views from dawn through dusk.

Key Features

• MHR Advance + coating system — Kite's coating system maximizes light transmission for image quality in low light, reaching 85% light transmission for bright images.

• 25-50x wide-angle zoom eyepiece included — The bundled WA zoom eyepiece provides a magnification range from 25x to 50x for detailed observation. The wide-angle optical design maintains a generous field of view across the zoom range: 118.5 ft at 25x down to 84 ft at 50x (measured at 1000 yards). Eye relief remains a comfortable 18-17mm throughout.

• 80mm objective with a high-definition lens — The 80mm aperture and 85% light transmission hold a high-contrast image, from a wide 118.5 ft field at 25x to detail work at 50x.

• IPX7 waterproof and nitrogen-filled — Rated IPX7 against water ingress and filled with nitrogen gas to stop internal fogging. The full rubber armor provides durability and a secure grip. Built to perform from -22°C to 55°C.

• Click-stop viewing angle — Release the viewing-angle screw and the scope clicks to 0°, ±45° or ±90°, so you can set a comfortable head position and lock it there. A single focus wheel handles near and far, and a retractable sunshield keeps rain and lateral light off the objective.

• M82 x 0.75 filter thread — Accepts standard 82mm filters without adapters.

• Compact and field-ready at 69.66 oz — The integrated tripod foot locks directly into a Manfrotto 128RC head without a quick-release plate, and its 3/8" thread mounts on any other tripod head.

Ideal For

Birders and wildlife observers who want a portable spotting scope. The wide-angle eyepiece maintains a usable field throughout the 25-50x zoom range.

Digiscopers: the stable 80mm platform and 85% light transmission make the KSP 80 HD2 a base for phone digiscoping setups.

Hunters and guides who need reliable, high-resolution glassing. The IPX7 rating, nitrogen purging, and -22°C operating range mean the scope keeps performing in hard conditions.
