The ATM-80 Spotting Scope from Swarovski Optik features an extra large, 80-millimeter objective lens with excellent light-gathering capabilities to deliver razor-sharp detail even at high magnifications. This state-of-the-art scope features a 25 to 50x magnification eyepiece for a wide field of view balanced with ultra-close detail. The scope is built for rugged field use with weatherproof magnesium technology and a sturdy, impact resistant rubber housing. Meanwhile, the uncompromising Swarovski optics ensure the best possible optical clarity while the non-stick SwaroClean external coating keeps the lens clear and easy to clean. Finally, equipped with a Universal Camera Adapter (UCA), the scope is built for seamless digiscoping transitions to capture what you see for posterity in digital images.
Key Features:
- 25-50x Wide Angle Eyepiece: The Swarovski Optik 25-50x W eyepiece allows for a comfortable wide-angle view across the entire magnification range. Weighing just 10.4 ounces, this unique optical system features an aspherical lens for edge-to-edge viewing in sharp detail. Like all Swarovski Optik eyepieces, the 25-50x W eyepiece is watertight and compatible with all telescopes in the Swarovski ATM/STM series.
- Magnesium Technology: This observation spotting scope can be confidently used in severe weather conditions thanks to magnesium technology that results in lowered weight with increased stability for a rugged, compact, and corrosion-resistant performance. The scope is nitrogen filled to ensure that the lenses do not fog up and is also dust-proof and watertight. Finally, the spotting scope is protected against external impacts by an easy to handle rubber armoring.
- Uncompromising Optics: Swarovski combines top-of-the-line optical materials with maximum precision and minimum tolerances in production including:
- SwaroTop and SwaroDur coatings for delivery of extreme pinpoint detail with maximum peripheral focus and lifelike color reproduction.
- State-of-the-art, electronically assisted processes for the assembly of precision optics using the latest sensor technology to ensure consistent reproduction quality.
- A large field of view for comfortable observation.
- SwaroClean: SwaroClean is a specially applied coating that affects the surface energy of the outer surfaces of the lenses. The non-stick effect of SwaroClean makes cleaning water marks, insect repellents, and tree resin almost effortless and increases the life of the optics.
- Universal Camera Adapter (UCA): This single adapter allows for a quick change from observation to photography. The adapter works with digital single lens reflex cameras and compact cameras and is suitable for all Swarovski Optik spotting scopes. The UCA offers the added benefit of being extremely secure, steady, compact, and lightweight--weighing in at just 12 ounces.
- SwaroFast Function: With SwaroFast you only need to adjust the position of your camera once in relation to your spotting scope. After this you can remove the camera from the adapter and bring it back into exactly the same position later without any need for readjustment.
- Telescope Rail: The telescope rail ensures maximum stability with or without a tripod. The rail offers individual positioning options to facilitate easy observation and digiscoping in any situation.
- Digiscoping: Thanks to the combination of the UCA and Telescope rail, the spotting scope makes it possible to attain your best possible photographs.

What is Digiscoping?
Digiscoping was discovered by chance by wildlife watchers when they came up with the idea of holding their digital cameras up to the eyepieces of their spotting scopes. The results were better than expected and provided a starting point for further refinement of this interesting photographic technique. Digiscoping captures the spotting scope's magnified image with a digital camera. However, the days when cameras were simply held up to the eyepiece by hand are long gone. Nowadays, adapters are used to connect the spotting scope up to the camera. An increasing number of nature lovers and amateur photographers are discovering the benefits of digiscoping for themselves and experiencing a completely new dimension in photography.
