Frequently Asked Questions

What is a travel scope?

A travel scope is a lightweight, compact spotting scope with a smaller lens, typically 50-65mm, that packs easily into a rucksack. Examples include the Swarovski Optik ATC 17-40x56, Opticron MM3 60 and Vector Optics Paragon 9-27x56.

Is a travel scope as good as a full-size field scope?

In daylight, yes. Quality travel scopes like the Kowa TSN-55A and Opticron MM4 62 give sharp, detailed views for far less weight. The smaller lens gathers less light, so full-size scopes look brighter at dusk and at top magnification.

What magnification do I need on a travel scope?

Most travel scopes zoom around 15-45x, such as 17-40x, 15-45x or 16-48x. That's plenty for birds, as heat haze and shake limit useful views above about 40x. Lower magnifications are brighter and steadier.

Which travel scope brands do you stock?

We stock Swarovski Optik, Kowa, Opticron, Hawke, Vortex, Vector Optics and Delta Optics. Opticron MM4 62 bodies are also sold separately, so you can choose your own eyepiece. Call 01803 269 886 for friendly, expert advice.
