The vortex diamondback hd 20-60x85 straight spotting scope has been amazing. It is super easy to pack and also works great for spotting from the truck. The only thing that I could say back is when it's cold it gets foggy. I think this is an awesome item for both beginners and experts for a reasonable price.

I use this spotting scope mainly for range days when I want to see where either I, or someone else is on a target at longer distances. Everything worked great. The glass is decent on it, you can definitely spend more money and get a fancier scope. But for most people this one would work great for most people. The Arca-Swiss mount is super common and has lots of options for mounting. Overall very good scope that is easy to use.

First impression, beautiful! Second impression, this is a solid built spotting scope. Well packaged, everything was well thought out and it did NOT disappoit! The optics are so clear and sharp. Everything about this unit speaks to high quality. If you're you never owned a spotting scope, you don't know what you're missing. The unit is very easy to setup use. It easily fits into a backpack for transport to the field. It also has great lens protection and the unit is well armored. Unit works great in low temps, no fogging, always clear optics, you will not be disapointed!

Is a big improvement over the old glass. Stood up to a bunch of days at the range and a few pack outs.

Well priced for this quality of glass. Solid construction and covers in with options - easy with support, and rugged with all covers on. Fits well in ghillie suit without covers coming loose. In a stationary setup - easy to remove and adjust onto tripod.

I have tried many others including Kowa, Zeiss, Swarovski, etc. these for the price point are great, definitely better scopes out there but none around this price point would be comparable.

Bought this for my parents so they can bird watch from their sun room. They love it! It is easy to set up and provides a crystal clear picture for all your viewing needs.

Recently submitted an older model Diamondback for warranty. It was unrepairable so they sent me this brand spanking new one and its night and day difference in glass quality. Vortex has really stepped up the quality and design of the Diamondback series. I am really pleased with the whole warranty process. If you want a smaller pack and budget friendly spotter, this is it!

I have several scopes, spotting scopes, and binoculars from Vortex Optics. First off I love the lifetime warranty, I destroyed a scope when I fell down going down a canyon to retrieve a deer, then I crushed a tube by over-tightening the rings. Both times Vortex sent me new optics even though I told them it was my fault. Last year my spotting scope fell over in high winds and when I went back to pick it up it still works as if it were new. Tough and dependable.

Great for a beginner spotting scope. I'm not a hunter but I love viewing wildlife with it and have no complaints.

I recently had the chance to test out the Vortex Diamondback HD Spotting Scope, and I couldn't be more impressed with its performance. The 16-48x magnification range was perfect for everything I needed, whether I was scanning distant landscapes or zooming in on finer details. The image clarity is outstanding, even at higher magnifications, and the fully multi-coated lenses provided vibrant colors and sharp contrast. I felt confident in its durability, too-the magnesium alloy body is lightweight yet tough, and the rubberized armor made it easy to handle in all weather conditions. The fact that it's waterproof and fog-proof only added to my peace of mind during my trips. Using the Diamondback HD was a breeze. The smooth focus wheel allowed me to make precise adjustments, and the adjustable eyecup was super comfortable, even when wearing glasses. I've used spotting scopes before, but this one stood out because it balanced high-end optics with great ease of use. Plus, knowing that it's backed by Vortex's lifetime warranty really sealed the deal for me. Whether you're a shooter, hiker, or birdwatcher, this spotting scope provides exceptional value for the price and has quickly become a must-have in my gear collection.

I know there are some more expensive scopes out there. Probably with better glass, but this is a great scope for the price. Strongly recommend

Great scope for a great price. The only downside is the clarity takes a large hit when at full power. Picture becomes hazy and dark. Somewhat to be expected but not the best when compared to other spotting scopes in the same price point. Still very happy with the spotting scope and it is well made!

Perfect for getting better look at big game, from deer in south dakota, all the way to SW Texas on my first trip hunting deer, pig and audad. The cover that comes with it helps greatly to keep dust and dirt out. Super easy to operate the focus dial. Young kids can easily operate it and spend hours each day looking for critters. Great price point. Works perfect for us.

Best scope ever. I have had it for 2 year's and dropped off a rocky mountain in to a river finding it 2 weeks later still looking as it just came out of the box...
