Adjust the FocusAfter setting the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. To adjust the focus, rotate the focus dial until images becomes clear. • Slowly turn the focus dial until the subject is in focus. |
Adjust the EyecupThe adjustable eyecup on the Viper HD spotting scope twists up and down so you can observe the full field of view if you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses. Fully extend the eyecup for best viewing without glasses. |
Flexible Viewing AngleThe tripod mounting collar of the Viper allows you to rotate the spotting scope body for greater viewing flexibility. • Turn the thumbscrew counter-clockwise to loosen the mounting collar. • Rotate the spotting scope body to a comfortable viewing angle. • Keep in the preferred viewing position by securing the mounting collar with a clockwise turn of the thumbscrew. |
Extendable SunshadeExtend this fitted hood to effectively block out disturbing stray light. The sunshade also shields the objective lens from mechanical damage and guards against soiling by fingerprints and precipitation. |

Resolution is only moderately better than the $100+ Meade spotting scope I bought years ago. This went back and I bought a Vortex Razor... which is awesome.
It is easily focused and the "zoom" is great! It is substantially better than his old scope that he may or may not have left out in the weather...
