Bright and Sharp Optics
With its ED glass and BaK4 prisms, the Regal M2 65ED produces crisp, high-contrast views across the entire zoom range. The 65mm aperture and XLT coatings make it ideal for low-light viewing at dawn or dusk, giving you brighter, more detailed images than standard spotting scopes.
Fast and Precise Focusing
The dual focus knob allows you to quickly bring your subject into view and fine-tune for maximum clarity. With a magnification range of 16–48x, it provides flexibility for scanning wide landscapes or zooming in on distant details.
Compact and Rugged
Weighing just 47.2 oz (without eyepiece), the Regal M2 65ED is the most portable model in the Regal M2 line. Its magnesium alloy housing makes it durable yet lightweight, and its waterproof, nitrogen-purged construction ensures reliable performance in challenging environments.
Camera-Ready
The included T-adapter ring makes it easy to connect a DSLR or mirrorless camera for digiscoping. Capture stunning wildlife, landscapes, or even celestial objects directly through your spotting scope.
