​Construction Details

The Endeavor HD 82A features a lightweight rubber armored magnesium body making it especially resilient to the elements as it is durable, scratch resistant, slip-resistant and easy to clean. The optics of the Endeavor HD are sealed with an O-ring for waterproofing and charged with Nitrogen to be fogproof. Even in the most challenging environment, Endeavor HD is reliable and trustworthy.

The angled view Endeavor HD 20-60x82 Spotting Scope contains a fully multicoated optical path creating a well-equipped zoom optic for intermediate to long-range observation.

Optical Performance

This version of the Endeavor HD spotting scope includes a 20-60x zoom eyepiece featuring a rubber zoom dial. A 1:3 zoom ratio and 2.1-1.0° angle of view complement the eyepiece's long 19mm eye relief and rubber eyecup, which help to provide additional viewing comfort for long-duration observations. Endeavor HD 82A features an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens system and phase-corrected BaK4 prisms, which maximize light transmission and produce color faithful images that are rich with contrast.

For quick target aiming which offers fast, easy locate and high power observation, the Endeavor HD comes with a 20-60x eyepiece magnification that has an 82mm objective. The eyepiece allows an 2.1-1.0 degrees angle of view and a 19.7 ft. close focus distance (at 20x), it doesn't get much better than that.

Use and Handling

In addition to the image quality and weather-sealed construction, the Endeavor HD includes several features that enhance the scope's functionality. A stacked dual-focus mechanism enables the observer to make fine and coarse focus adjustments. The tripod mounting foot has a standard 1/4" socket and is compatible with Vanguard tripods that accept the universal mounting shoe. An integrated sunshade and included custom fit raincoat carrying case help to make the Endeavor HD a full-featured spotting scope for outdoor use.
