Description
The Olivon T800 Spotting Scope
The Olivon T800 spotting scope, with its 20–60x zoom range offers flexibility in long-range observation. The inclusion of an 80mm front objective lens enhances low-light performance, enabling users to observe subjects with minimal distortion during dawn or dusk hours.
Optical clarity is ensured through fully multi-coated lenses, which reduce glare and enhance light transmission. The integration of BAK-4 prisms maintains image brightness and resolution across the magnification spectrum. These features allow for accurate colour rendering and fine detail recognition, which are essential in field identification work.
This model is equipped with a standard 1.25" removable eyepiece, increasing compatibility with third-party astro and digiscoping eyepieces. This upgrade improves functional versatility, supporting both terrestrial and astronomical applications. The angled eyepiece design supports comfortable prolonged viewing, especially when observing upward angles or from a seated position.
The housing is nitrogen-filled and fully waterproof, preventing internal fogging when transitioning between temperature zones or during high-humidity field deployments. The scope is compatible with any standard camera tripod and integrates securely with Olivon tripods for increased field stability.

Features
- 20–60x magnification enables both wide field scanning and detailed long-range inspection.
- 80mm objective lens improves light-gathering capability for enhanced clarity in low-light environments.
- Fully multi-coated optics ensure reduced reflection and improved contrast across all magnifications.
- BAK-4 prisms maintain image sharpness and brightness, supporting reliable species or terrain identification.
- Removable 1.25" eyepiece expands compatibility with fixed-magnification, wide-angle, or astronomy eyepieces.
- Waterproof construction with nitrogen purge resists internal condensation during rapid temperature changes.
- Supplied stay-on case protects the scope during transport and in-field use without removing covers.
- Standard tripod mounting thread fits most tripods; direct fit to Olivon tripods increases system stability.
Additional Information
The T800 has been developed as an upgraded version of the T80, incorporating user-driven optical enhancements and mechanical improvements. These include revised lens coatings, better low-dispersion performance, and the adoption of a modular eyepiece system using the 1.25" astro standard. This modularity makes it suitable for integration into existing digiscoping or astro-observation setups, especially where flexibility in eyepiece function is required.
Its angled design facilitates prolonged observational sessions and reduces neck strain during upward viewing. The body construction is robust and suitable for harsh outdoor use, withstanding variable environmental conditions without optical compromise.
When used at high magnification, tripod use is essential to ensure image stability. The scope's weight and centre of gravity have been balanced for compatibility with standard camera tripods, though the most secure fit is achieved with Olivon’s proprietary mounting system.
