Swarovski ST Balance 14-35x50 Stabilised Spotting Scope

The versatile 14–35x variable magnification lets you transition seamlessly from wider scanning to close-up scrutiny, while the bright 50 mm objective lens provides dependable performance across changing light conditions. Despite its power, the ST Balance remains impressively portable. At just 1300 g and 268 mm long, it offers true handheld freedom, making it ideal for mobile, spontaneous observation without the weight or hassle of extra equipment.

A field of view of 70–39 m at 1000 m and an apparent field of 57–71° gives you a clear, immersive image window, while the robust build ensures reliable performance from –20 to +50 °C in the field. Practical design features such as the threaded M72x0.75 objective filter mount and a minimum focusing distance of 3.4 m further enhance its versatility.

Every ST Balance comes supplied with an RB-S rechargeable battery, charger, USB-C cable, carrying strap, objective and eyepiece covers, and an adapter plate, ensuring you’re fully equipped from the moment you unbox it.
