Diamondback 20-60x80 Angled Spotting Scope (DBK-80A1)
Born into the bloodline of our popular Diamondback family, this spotter delivers outstanding performance—clearly a superb choice when you need a heavyweight performer in a light, compact package. The Diamondback optics guarantee a bright image throughout the magnification range and, as true to all Diamondback optics, the rugged construction stands up to rough use in the field.
Attach to a Tripod
For the steadiest views, mount the Diamondback on a sturdy tripod or car window mount. The built-in tripod mount easily attaches to most tripods and quick-release plates. The tripod foot attaches to any tripod or car window mount that uses 1/4 x 20 screw threads.
Adjust the Viewing Angle
The tripod mount collar allows you to rotate the spotting scope body for greater viewing flexibility when mounting on a tripod or car window mount.
• Loosen the mounting collar by turning the thumbscrew counterclockwise.
• Rotate the spotting scope body to the viewing angle you prefer.
• Keep the spotting scope in the preferred viewing position by turning the thumbscrew clockwise to secure the mounting collar.
Adjust the Magnification
Versatile zoom magnification allows you to view a wide field of view at a lower power and zoom in on details at a higher power. Change the magnification by turning the magnification adjustment ring:
• Increase the magnification by turning the adjustment ring clockwise.
• Decrease the magnification by turning the adjustment ring counter-clockwise.

Adjust the Focus
After changing the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. Turn the focus dial to adjust the fine focus. This fine focusing does more than allow you to see critical details. A well-focused image also ensures fatigue-free viewing.
Adjust the Eyecup
The adjustable eyecup twists up and down so that you can observe the full field of view, even if you wear eyeglasses.
• Twist eyecup down to view with glasses.
• Twist eyecup up to view without glasses.
Adjust the Sunshade
Block out stray light by extending the sunshade on the objective end of the spotting scope. The sunshade also shields the objective lens from mechanical damage and guards against soiling by fingerprints and precipitation.
