The accompanying photo-style tripod can collapse low enough for tabletop use and extend to full height. With the included erecting prism, views are corrected horizontally and laterally, allowing the Travel Scope to function as a conventional spotting scope. Two eyepieces provide 20x and 40x magnifications, but any 1.25 astronomical eyepiece can be used. The entire kit - OTA, tripod, head, and accessories - fits into the included backpack for maximum portability.
