Popular Science by Celestron’s LandScout spotting scope is a customer favorite, known for its versatility and ease of use. For the first time, this beloved spotting scope is bundled with the Celestron Smartphone Adapter, a Bluetooth shutter release remote, and a tabletop tripod—the perfect beginner’s digiscoping kit. This special edition bundle is compact and lightweight, ideal for carrying along on a backpacking trip, a casual hike, or a birding expedition. You’ll be able to quickly set up this spotting scope and attach the smartphone adapter to capture stunning images and video through the eyepiece.
Digiscoping is Easy with the Celestron Smartphone Adapter and Bluetooth Remote:
Share your greatest discoveries with friends and family by pairing the LandScout spotting scope with the included smartphone adapter. This accessory connects any smartphone to the LandScout’s eyepiece (or any other eyepiece with an outside diameter of 45mm or smaller, such as a binocular or telescope eyepiece).
The eyepiece’s magnification bumps up the image scale, so you can capture stunning images of wildlife, distant objects, and even the Moon at night! This light, rigid smartphone adapter installs in seconds by clamping over the top of the eyepiece. Tighten the knobs to securely lock your phone in place. (Note: Some large and/or excessively bulky phone cases, including folio style cases, may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.)
This special edition bundle also includes a Bluetooth shutter release so you can trigger the camera’s shutter on any Android or iOS smartphone remotely, without disturbing the placement of the phone or spotting scope.
Our Tried-and-True Spotting Scope:
The LandScout 80mm spotting scope features a 45° viewing angle, excellent fully multi-coated optics, and a versatile 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The 45° viewing angle provides comfort for extended periods of observing. The LandScout’s fully coated optics increase light transmission for brighter, sharper images. The LandScout 20-60x80mm is perfect for those times you don’t want to carry a larger, heavier scope. Its rugged and portable design makes it easy to transport anywhere.
Perfect for a Variety of Uses:
The Popular Science by Celestron LandScout comes with a 20-60x zoom eyepiece. Use the lower magnifications to scan the landscape with a wider field of view, then quickly punch in for up-close views of small subjects when needed. The large, ergonomic focus knob ensures your object is always in clear view. Both the zoom and focus knobs come with a rubber grip for easy adjustments while wearing gloves. LandScout was designed to perform well in a range of viewing situations, making it a great all-around optical instrument.
Ways to Observe:
LandScout features a rugged, durable construction to stand up to minor bumps and jolts. The scope is also water resistant, so you can use it confidently in damp or humid conditions. Once you arrive at your observing site, secure the LandScout on the tabletop tripod. The tripod mount rotates, making it easy to find your most comfortable viewing angle.
