With small dimensions and outstanding optics thanks to its length of 11.2 inches, the SWAROVSKI OPTIK STC 17-40x56 Spotting Scope with a straight view will fit in any backpack. A weight of just 34.6 oz makes it a top choice for tours in rough terrain and remote areas. The clever half shell makes it easier to position on a surface without a tripod and allows unimpeded turning of the focusing and zoom wheel at all times. In combination with the VPA, the STC is ideal for digiscoping. The carrying strap adds the perfect finishing touch.
