Kite Optics SP 56 12-36x Spotting Scope

A spotting scope only identifies the distant bird if it came along, and a heavy one often stays at home. The Kite Optics SP 56 is an angled 56 mm scope with a 12-36x zoom eyepiece, 250 mm long and 700 g, small enough for a day pack.

Key Features

• 12-36x zoom. From a 54 m field at 1,000 m (162 ft at 1,000 yd) at 12x, for finding the bird, to 36x for detail.
• Angled eyepiece. Relaxed viewing seated or standing, and easy to share with adults and children alike.
• Barrel focus. Fast, precise focusing with one hand.
• MHR coatings. High contrast and natural colour.
• IPX7 waterproof and gas-filled.
• Close focus at 5 m (16.4 ft) and 20 to 17 mm of eye relief across the zoom.

Ideal For

• Hikers, travellers and families who want a grab-and-go scope for walks and trips.
• Birders on coastal walks and rainy hikes who need more magnification than a binocular gives.
• Stepping up: the Kite Optics KSP 80 HD2 gathers more light with its 80 mm objective and zooms to 50x.

Accessories & Compatibility

• Tripod foot. It fits the Manfrotto 128RC head directly, and its 3/8" thread mounts it on other tripod heads.
• Viewing angle. On a tripod, the body clicks to 0°, ±45° and ±90° and locks in place.
• No objective filter thread.
• Lens care. The Kite Optics Cleaning Kit carries a blower, brush, cleaning fluid and cloth.
