The new 45° 70mm Binocular Telescope is the smallest and least-expensive binocular telescope on the market. At just over a foot in length, it is approximately half the size of the 45° 100mm Binocular Telescope, and at 8.5 lbs., is just 1/3 of the weight. For those with limited space, or needing easy portability, this new model is a great choice. Of course it also has Oberwerk's signature broadband multi-coatings on every lens surface, including the porro prisms and triplet objectives. Our finest 23.9mm (16x) fully multi-coated wide-angle (65° AFOV) eyepieces are included, and because of the industry-standard 1.25" helical focusers, your favorite telescope eyepieces can be used as well. 8mm eyepieces will provide 47x magnification in this binocular, which is the recommended limit. The built-in retractable glare shields minimize reflections.
Complete package price includes binocular, removeable handle, aluminum-frame case, and 16x eyepieces. If you need a mount, choose the configuration below with Manfrotto 055XDB tripod or Oberwerk wood tripod, and Manfrotto MVH500AH head. Because accurate collimation is critical at higher magnifications, every Oberwerk binocular is collimated prior to shipping- so even at high magnifications, you'll enjoy perfectly merged images. 3-year Limited Warranty.
