Celestron 9-27×56 Hummingbird Micro Spotting Scope
The Hummingbird spotting scope and its namesake bird have many qualities in common. Known not only for being one of the smallest birds in the world, but also for their ability to fly in almost any direction at will and to travel extreme distances. As the first ever “micro” spotting scope, the Celestron Hummingbird lives up to its name in terms of both size and agility. Take this handy spotter with you on hiking excursions, birdwatching expeditions, or any other wildlife viewing adventure.
Go “Micro”
Standard sized spotting scopes are likely to be too large and/or too heavy to be carried to remote viewing locations without being a heavy burden. The Hummingbird Spotter, however, will completely destroy any preconceived notions you have regarding spotting scope size and weight, as you’ll be able to take it along with you to places formerly thought impossible. This micro spotting scope easily fits in the palm of your hand, or in nearly any pocket, and takes up only minimal space in a carry-on bag.
Crisp, Clear Images
Despite its small size, the Hummingbird does not compromise on quality. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated with high transmission optical coatings. The result is maximum light transmission for bright, sharp images with high contrast. The prism is phase-coated BaK4, which increases contrast and resolution for more detailed images.
Rugged, Waterproof Construction
With a durable exterior that prevents it from acquiring damage via bumps and jolts experienced both while being transported and in the field, as well as fully waterproof and nitrogen-purged construction, the Hummingbird Micro Spotting Scope promotes stress-free use no matter the conditions, from slightly humid to torrential downpours.
Ready for Any Adventure
The 56mm Hummingbird Micro Spotting Scope has a close focus of approximately 10 feet, optimally equipped for observing birds, butterflies, plants, and other subjects in proximity. Magnification ranges from 9x to 27x, covering the standard magnification confines of both binoculars and spotting scopes. Regardless of how and what you want to observe, the versatile Hummingbird 9-27×56 Micro Spotter will consistently offer superb performance.
Ways to Observe
Unlike most spotting scopes, the Hummingbird is small enough to be used as a handheld device at the lowest magnification level for a quick view of your subject. Travelers who want to save space can replace both their binocular and their spotting scope with this one optic. In addition, this spotting scope is also tripod adaptable, providing a stable platform for comfortable viewing at long distances or for extended periods.
The Hummingbird provides plenty of eye relief for use with or without eyeglasses. For use while wearing eyeglasses, leave the twist-up eyecup in the lowered position. For use while not wearing eyeglasses, twist the twist-up eyecup into the extended position.
