TS-Optics Ultima80 - Spotting Scope with 20-60x Zoom

For discerning users looking for an exceptional value for money

This powerful 80 mm aperture spotting scope can be used even under awkward light conditions. Even with the maximum magnification of 60x with the supplied zoom eyepiece, the image is still clear and bright.

The spotting scope is spray water proof, making it suitable for "real-life" outdoor use.

Fields of Use:

With its compact dimensions and powerful optics, the TS Optics spotting scope is ideal for portable use. It will fit into any backpack. This is perfect for birdwatching and for hunters who need to carry the spotting scope over large distances.

Once set up, the spotting scope will reward you with sharp and clear images at high magnifications. The comfortable zoom eyepiece is ideal for most uses, but fixed magnification eyepieces are also available optionally.

This model is very popular also for target shooting. It works well at shooting distances up to about 100 m. Under good light conditions, even larger distances up to 300 m may be possible, but for larger distances we recommend the larger 100 mm spotting scope.

Properties and Features:

relaxed observing position. 45° angled view

stepless zoom from 20x to 60x magnification

robust design & spray water proof

comfortable focusing through a large focusing knob. The knob and the rear part of the spotting scope are rubber armoured for high comfort even at low temperatures.

Fixed Magnification Eyepieces for optimum image sharpness:

The zoom eyepiece supplied with this spotting scope has a very good image quality. However zoom eyepieces never reach the same high level of sharpness and transmission as fixed magnification eyepieces. This effect is known from photography, and the same is true for spotting scope optics.

For many applications, the zoom eyepiece is very convenient. But there are several applications that require the best possible image sharpness and at the same time do not require to change the magnification very frequently.

A full line of fixed magnification eyepieces is available for this spotting scope.

Attaching the eyepiece: The eyepieces are simply screwed onto the back of the spotting scope with a large knurled ring. This method prevents tilting and keeping the eyepiece properly aligned.

Available Magnifications: 19x (25 mm), 25x (19 mm), 53x (9 mm), 80x (6 mm) and 96x (5 mm)

Digiscoping with the TS spotting scope

This spotting scope is also a powerful telephoto lens. Find some photos in the "user reports" section prooving the performance of this optical system.

(D)SLR cameras can be attached directly to the zoom eyepiece using a T2 adapter ring - the necessary thread is hidden below the rubber eyeguard. For optimal field illumination, we recommend a 20 mm (APS-C format) or 40 mm (full format) T2 extension tube between eyepiece and T2 ring. The resulting focal length is 900 respectively 1300 mm. This value can be further enhanced by turning the zoom eyepiece to higher magnification ratios.

For optimal image brightness, we recommend the optional eyepieces with 25 or 19 mm fixed focal length. All you need additionally is the "WOFotoadapter" and a T2 ring for your SLR camera model.

For compact digital cameras with fixed lens, we recommend the Baader Microstage.

The most important photographic accessories can be found in the "recommendations" section.

Practical Carrying Case:

The practical carrying case has carrying straps and can be left on when using the spotting scope. You only need to move it a few centimetres to the front. The case provides easy transportation, protection from the weather and from mechanical shocks.
