Meopta Meostar S2 82 HD angled-view spotting scope + 20-70X zoom eyepiece (46053)

The MeoStar S2 82 HD spotting scope represents a major achievement from Meopta. This is Meopta’s first full-sized, premium spotting scope, designed to compete with the best on the market. The 82mm HD (Apochromatic) objective lenses provide sharp, true-color images, whether you are observing in the early hours before dawn or during the last moments of daylight. When paired with the innovative 30-60x wide-angle eyepiece, which maintains a constant 66-degree field of view across the entire magnification range, the MeoStar S2 is ready for even the most demanding observation tasks.

The MeoStar S2 82 HD spotting scope is available in both straight and angled versions.

Features

• MeoBright 5501: A proprietary ion-assisted multi-coating applied to all air-to-glass optical surfaces. This coating eliminates glare and reflections, achieving an industry-leading 99.8% light transmission per lens surface.

• MeoShield: An ion-assisted coating that protects external lens surfaces, providing enhanced resistance to scratches and abrasions, even in extreme conditions. MeoShield meets military standards for durability and surface hardness.

• MeoDrop: A hydrophobic lens coating that repels water, grease, oils, and other contaminants. Water forms tight droplets and rolls off the lens, making cleaning easy and maintaining maximum clarity.

• HD Lens Elements: High-definition, extra-low dispersion fluoride glass elements eliminate chromatic aberration and color fringing, delivering sharp resolution, increased contrast, and vibrant color accuracy.

• CentricDrive: An oversized, mid-body focus control with a large rubberized wheel, designed for precise focusing or quick adjustments, even when wearing gloves.

• Bayonet Eyepiece Mount: Quick-release, bayonet mount securely locks the eyepiece in place and releases with the push of a button.

• Tripod Collar and Mount: The rotating tripod collar allows smooth 360° rotation for viewing from any angle and locks securely. The mounting foot is compatible with Manfrotto tripod heads and features a ¼” x 20 thread for various quick release plates.

• Integrated Sun Shade: Retractable anodized aluminum sun shade protects against moisture and stray light. Includes an aiming element for quick subject acquisition.

• Chassis Construction: Made from magnesium and aluminum alloys, the chassis is lightweight yet rugged. Rubber armor provides shock protection.

• Lens Components: Each lens is ground and polished in-house, matched for optimal performance.

• Prism System: The Schmidt-Pechan prism is precisely ground and polished, allowing for extended viewing without eye strain.

• Waterproof: 100% waterproof and submersible, fully protected against humidity, rain, and snow.

• Fogproof: Purged and sealed with nitrogen gas for guaranteed fogproof performance.
