The new spotting scopes build on the success of the Nikon Spotting Scope RAII (60/60A) and 80/80, a series which have won wide acceptance in the bird watching market due to their high cost-to-performance value.
Thanks to the 65mm and 82mm objectives, both models produce clear, crisp, bright images, perfect for a range of activities. The light, compact design makes for easy portability and the added benefit of being waterproof makes them suitable (up to 2m for 5 minutes) for all conditions.
The RA III 65 WP series and the RAIII 82 WP series boast Target Sight, an attractive new feature which attaches to the main body to add flexibility. Target Sight enables sport optics enthusiasts to adjust the scope easily and efficiently. The new scopes also feature a bayonet mount, adding to a convenient user experience.
A new zoom eyepieces has been introduced to compliment the new models, (16-48/20-60x Zoom).
Eyepieces will also be produced allowing fans of digiscoping to use the scopes.
