Endeavor HD Angled Eyepiece Spotting Scopes, ED Glass, Waterproof/Fogproof

Ce télescope n’a malheureusement qu’un gros défaut: la netteté de l’image est moyenne. C’est ce qui m’a frappé au premier contact. Malgré mes efforts pour faire une mise au point précise, la netteté obtenue est inférieure à celle d’un Bushnell Spacemaster de 20 ans d’âge. Malgré cela, la qualité des matériaux et d’assemblage inspirent confiance. Les molettes d’ajustements fonctionnent à merveille. La quantité de lumière transmise est considerable. Et le rendu des couleurs est exceptionnel. Comme d’autres qui ont rédigé un avis sur ce télescope, j’aurais vraiment voulu l’aimer. Mais le manque de netteté m’a complètement démonté.

Justo lo que Deseaba y a un Excelente Precio..!!

This is a great spotting scope for its price. I use it for birdwatching. When used in good light and zoom up to 35/40x the image quality (color, contrast, resolution) is very good to excellent. Above 40x it starts to deteriorate which is to be expected. In low light and in high contrast areas you can see chromatic aberrations. While it can't compete with scopes that are 5 times more expensive it certainly is worth the money and much more. The build quality is very good - no complaints, the focus dials are smooth with good dampening too. The rotation of the zoom on the eye-piece is a bit stiff though. The included carrying pouch is a nice bonus and fits well. While the scope is not extremely light to carry I find it manageable and comfortable. Overall - highly recommended and would definitely buy again.

I have been a birder for decades, but have never really considered buying a scope. I've always bummed one off friends, or used other people's scopes when birding in a group. Most people are happy to let you look through their scope. Especially if they've spent a lot of money on said scope! Consequently, I've tried out some high dollar (and low dollar) scopes, under real world conditions. My wife has gotten more and more into birding, and a couple of years ago, I bought her a pair of Vanguard Binoculars. They've been outstanding, both in their performance and their build quality. As we find ourselves spending weekends out on refuges and in state parks, it's often just the two of us, I thought it would be nice if we had our own scope. Since we've been so happy with the Vanguard optics, we chose to go with this scope. This was our Christmas present to ourselves. I love this scope. It's clarity and light gathering capability is the equal of scopes two or three times as expensive. I'm not going to delve into the technical flaws that some people find with every optical instrument. I can't say it's perfect, no scope is. But it is just a fantastic scope that has helped us enjoy and improve our birding, for a reasonable cost. I particularly like the fine focus wheel, it's just got a nice feel to it. The well made case is a really nice touch as well. You don't need to remove the case to mount or use the scope. Additionally, Vanguard was offering a rebate when I purchased this: a very nice tripod. Together they have made an unbeatable value. Considering Vanguard's generous warranty and the general build of this scope, I think this is a lifetime investment. I can't see me ever needing to spend more for the small gain of the really high dollar scopes. For most birders, this will completely fulfill your needs ...and then some.

It is a nice scope, for viewing objects which are 1km away, you can recognize faces at this distance. I have used the scope in the night also and it works there as well, you can not see things which are in totally dark, but if some light source is there it works well. And the most amazing part is you can do some stargazing as well from this scope, i have tried seeing moon ( you can see the craters quite clearly). I have seen Saturn with this which was quite a feat, i wasn't expecting this but i was able to see clearly the bifurcation of the ring and the planet (don't expect to see it full screen but it will give you a clear view if atmosphere is clear). This is the advantage of having a ED glass in it, though it is not free from chromatic aberration but at this cost you can bear with it. In the daylight you can get some good picture if you connect through camera or smartphone ( though you need adapter for both, otherwise difficult to get sharp photos. Overall its a great buy.
