Vanguard VEO ED 8x42M

Vanguard VEO ED 8420M Monocular with Smartphone Digiscoping Kit

The VEO ED 8420M is a lightweight, compact, rugged IPX 7 waterproof and fogproof monocular with extra low dispersion (ED) glass for maximum clarity, especially in low light conditions

This monocular also includes a universal smartphone adapter and Bluetooth remote for digiscoping, allowing you to get closer to the action while photographing or filming your subject on your smartphone

This monocular gets you 8x closer to the action, while the 42mm lens, ED glass, BaK4 roof prisms and advanced multi-coated lenses maximize transmitted light to deliver a clear, sharp image. On the front element, there is another super hard, scratch resistant, water and

membrane.

This monocular weighs only 300g and fits comfortably in one hand or easily slips into a pocket

.

The monocular is very handy and can be easily carried and used anywhere. Thus, the monocular offers a convenient alternative to binoculars.

For use in the field, there is only one long structured focus wheel. This makes it easy and intuitive to focus the monocular, even in cold, wet conditions where you need gloves. You don't need to fiddle around to get your diopters right, you simply lift the monocular to your eye and focus in an instant so you don't miss any of the action, whether it's a butterfly on a flower in front of you or a fast-moving object far away.

For added stability in use, the monocular has a 1/4-inch thread that allows it to be attached to a standard monopod, which can also be used as a walker, or a tabletop trip

This makes it perfect for use with a VEO 2S monopod, either on the go or in a hide for extended periods of time.

To keep the monocular protected, the IPX 7 waterproof and fogproof housing is encased in thick rubber armor and there are covers to prevent scratches on the objective lens/eyepiece

.

To maximize versatility, the VEO ED 8420M monocular comes with a universal smartphone adapter that allows you to use your smartphone for digiscoping, taking photos or videos. Suitable for almost any smartphone with a width of up to 55-87mm,

the smartphone adapter simply slips securely onto the monocular

.

Rubber grips and a threaded clamp allow the phone to be securely attached to the adapter, and the textured head of the screw allows for easy tightening/loosening. For smartphone camera lenses that are in different locations, and even multiple lenses, the adjustable mount allows the eyepiece to be moved horizontally and vertically to align the monocular eyepiece with the smartphone camera lens.

When used with a tripod or monopod, you can also use the Bluetooth remote control, which allows you to trigger any IOS or Android smartphone camera without having to touch the smartphone, minimizing the risk of movement that blurs the photo

However you use it, the VEO ED 8420M and smartphone adapter open up a world of possibilities to get closer to the action or get the most out of your smartphone
