Our Take on the Swarovski STR-80 HD 80mm
Spotting Scope:
As the scope runs on a CR123 battery, it offers an exceptionally long runtime. Further, the reticle makes spotting incredibly convenient in both day and night time as it is illuminated in red with 10 intensities during daytime and 5 during the night. Additionally, due to the extensive quantity of light being drawn in by the large apertures, the scope can also be used in pre-dawn and dusk/twilight hours when animals are most active.
STR-80 comes with extra-low dispersion fluorite glass elements that render bright, color faithful, crisp, and detailed imagery. Further, the SWARODUR and SWAROTOP coatings throughout minimize glare and maximize contrast. This model comes without an eyepiece to give the users the flexibility of using either 25-50x wide-angle or 20-60x zoom eyepieces. To make acquiring subjects easy and tracking targets faster. Additionally, as the eyepiece is aligned to the optical tube for straight-through viewing, it allows easier subject acquisition and faster target tracking.
Along with the optical performance, the exterior design is also rugged and sturdy. The design comes with an aluminum-alloy chassis wrapped in rubber armor, which adds a protective layer and prevents external damages. Further, the slip-resistant grip makes it convenient to handle the device. To add to the optical and design prowess, the manufacturer has paid great attention to compatibility as well. The scope is compatible with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tripod threads making it compatible with most tripods and monopod systems. Further, the optical tube is nitrogen-filled, and O-ring sealed, making the device dustproof, waterproof/submersible to 13', and internal fogging resistant. These features make it capable of withstanding inclement weather conditions.
