A Guide to Birding with Spotting Scopes

The straight-through viewing ProStaff 3 16-48x60 Spotting Scope Kit from Nikon combines a fully multi-coated optical path and a weather-sealed housing to create a well-equipped optic for intermediate- to long-range observations. In addition to the 16-48x60 spotting scope, this outfit includes a multi-section tripod with lever lock-adjustable legs and a pan/tilt head as well as a soft carrying case to conveniently transport this Fieldscope system.

At the core of Nikon's ProStaff 3 spotting scope are environmentally friendly Eco-Glass elements and prisms that are composed of responsibly sourced arsenic-free material. The entire optical system is fully multi-coated, resulting in enhanced low-light performance and contrast-rich images that are crisp throughout the zoom range. A nitrogen-filled fog and waterproof housing, 11-foot close-focus distance, and included accessories make the ProStaff 3 16-48x60 outfit a full-featured spotting scope kit for almost any recreational glassing activity.
