TS Optics Spotting Scope BW65Z 16-48fach 65 mm aperture
This TS spotting scope is a real multi-talent and suited for almost all areas of application. With the TS BW65Z, you have a complete telescope, a telephoto lens and a spotting scope in one. The spotting scope weighs less than 2 kg and has a very compact size - ideal for air travel and trips. Everything is complete and ready to use. And the application areas are highly diverse: Birding and animal watching Trecking, hunting and safari - the spotting scope is waterproof Astronomy - you can also use your 1.25" astro eyepieces for increasing magnification up to approx. 96x Digiscoping - you can attach your camera with the TS BW spotting scope camera adapter and also screw it firmly to the spotting scope. Marksmen - the spotting scope displays the target sharply even if it is in large distance, you can can see the bullet holes very well.
The BW65Z Spotting Scope offers:
It is ideal for bird and nature observing, for a view into the distance ar an occasional view into the sky. The BW series of the TS-Optics´ spotting scopes offers all features known from significantly more expensive spotting scopes. Through the 360° click-stop rotation, people like marksmen have the possibility to get the best insight angle for them. The TS BW spotting scopes are waterproof and against fogging, nitrogen-filled. Wide-angle zoom eyepiece with continous magnification from 16 to 48x Due to the 1.25" (31.7 mm) receptacle, many telescope eyepieces can be used. For example, you get 120x magnification with the optional TS-Optics Planetary 4 mm. Suitable eyepieces are linked in the accessories section. Adjustable twist eyecups for achieving the optimal eye relief for spectacle wearers. The base has three 1/4" photo threads, so you can better belance the spotting scope out or attach it to many astronomical mounts with dovetail bar.
Photography with this spotting scope
The TS-Optics BW65Z is ready for digiscoping. With the supplied photo adapter for the BW65Z, you can take beautiful photos through the spotting scope and use it as telephoto lens. The adapter can be found in the accessories section.
The adaption could not be easier: Screw the photo adaptor CA-Final on the zoom and then attach your digital camera with the optional T2 ring or objective adapter (if you don´t have a camera with interschangeable lens) and you can take great photographs through the spotting scope.
The magnification factor of the zoom is kept here - the spotting scope turns into a telephoto lens with a variable focal length between approx. 322 mm bis 965 mm.
Special features in detail:
1.25" eyepiece connection with locking system
The 1.25" eyepiece connection is established at professional telescopes for quite some time. The advantages are obvious. You can quickly change eyepieces and have the complete range of professional eyepieces at hand.
For example, you can achieve 96x magnification with the planetary eyepiece HR4.
How do I calculate the magnification?
That is very easy. The spotting scope has a focal length of 386 mm. Just divide the spotting scope´s focal length by the focal length of the eyepiece and obtain the magnification.
Example: 386mm / 4mm (focal length of HR 4 eyepiece) = 96.5x
Coarse focusing and fine focusing for perfect sharpness
Use the coarse focusing for quick viewing. When birding, for example, you have to change the focal plane quickly for not missing the motif.
At the same rotary knob, you have the micro transmission for observing something in detail. Especially in photography through the spotting scope, exact focusing is very important for perfect results.
The carrying bag:
The provided bag is more than just a container. Of course, the padded bag will perform this task very well.
But can also mount the spotting scope onto a tripod with the bag. The coverings of lens, eyepiece and focusing are opened, the rest of the spotting scope stays protected. Thus the operation in very humid environmental conditions is possible, for example when hunting. The tripod is not included.
Versatile tripod connection and 360° click-stop rotation:
The tripod connection of the BW65Z spotting scope is elaborate, too. It offers a 360° click-stop rotation if the insight should be at the side instead of at top.
The connector offers three 1/4" photo threads, so you can better balance the spotting scope or even attach it to many astronomical mounts by using an optional dovetail bar.

Sehr zufrieden mit dem Instrument, welches zum Beobachten von Vögeln im Garten erworben wurde.
Preis-Leistungsverhältnis Top. Verarbeitungsqualität auch mehr als ordentlich. Farbfehler ist in dieser Preisklasse selbstverständlich nicht auszuschliessen.
Wer diesen zur jedoch Gänze eliminiert haben will, der muss ein Vielfaches des Preises bezahlen. Fokussiersystem ist exzellent. Wieso das in der Premiumklasse niemand ausser Kowa anbietet, erstaunt.

"ich verwende das Spektiv zur Digiscopie mit meiner Nikon DSLR D5100 und einer Sony Nex6. Hervorragend der mit- gelieferte Adapter. T2-Ring für Kameras müssen extra bezogen werden.Es empfielt sich die Kamera per HDMI-Kabel an einen externen Monitor anzuschließen um die Schärfe besser zu kontrollieren, hier eignet sich dieses Spektiv besonders wegen der Grob und Fein-Einstellung der Schärfe. Preis/ Leistung dieses Spektivs sind für Einsteiger zu empfehlen."

"Wird auf einem Baustativ verwendet. Einsatz meistens Mond und Planeten mit Einzelokularen. Tagsüber ausschließlich mit dem Zoom (Flora und Fauna) Mechanische Qualität ausgezeichnet. Farbfehler sind bei dieser Glassorte leider nicht auszuschließen. Gesamtwertung: Gut "

"Das Spektiv ist gut verarbeitet und die Optik besser als erwartet für den Preis. Klar, es ist eine achromatische Optik die bei hohen Vergrößerung etwas Farbe zeigt. Ich hätte nicht erwartet dass das Spektiv zu dem Preis eine so ordentliche Leistung bietet. Auch vom Zoomokukar bin ich angenehm überrascht. Also, man sollte keine Wunder erwarten von einem Spektiv für unter ***?, aber meine Erwartungen wurden klar übertroffen. "
