Description: Straight spotting scope and matching tripod, entirely nihon sei (made in Japan). Estimated date of manufacture circa early 1990s; beautiful perfect match of matte tan/green finish on both items. Great spotting setup for field or shooting range. The tripod is very cool (perhaps only the Japanese would craft a simple tripod with such style and attention to materials and detail). In addition to loosening & tightening the large round knob for fast, full-range altitude adjustment, you can perform fine altitude adjustment (10 degrees up/down) without the need to unlock large knob simply by turning the smaller, downward-facing knob at the bottom of the tripod head; see photos 6-8Scope specs: length, about 11.5 inches; weight, 1.19 kg; 60 mm/420 mm (F/7) Wide-angle eyepiece (22X on 60 mm scope, 18X on 50 mm scope); beveled volcano-top design provides good eye relief (~ 17-20mm) Tripod specs: height to mounting platform adjustable from 24-31 cm; spread, 33.5 cm; weight, 880 g Compatible with Vixen Camera Adapter S for digiscoping with DSLR; see separate NRO listing Listing also includes:Original front and rear caps Original Styrofoam packing for tripodEven in Japan, this scope/tripod set is extremely rare — a collector's item Thanks for visiting Nippon Rare Optics!Premium optics sourced from Japan ▪ Fast, free shipping from U.S.-based seller
