Engineered for extended field use, it features a robust magnesium housing with ArmorX grip elements for secure handling. The nitrogen-filled, IPX5 waterproof construction ensures reliability in harsh New Zealand conditions, from misty valleys to coastal wetlands. With its central focusing system, quick target adjustments are effortless, while the integrated tripod adapter plate adds stability for long observation sessions.
