The Celestron Hummingbird is a “micro” ED spotting scope, and like its namesake, the Hummingbird Micro Spotting Scope is as well-suited to long-distance travel as it is to the backyard. The Hummingbird will easily fit into a pocket, shoulder bag, or carry-on luggage as a more travel-friendly alternative to a full-size spotting scope. The lowest magnification level can also serve as a substitute for a binocular. The waterproof, nitrogen-filled construction of the Hummingbird keeps it protected against wet weather, humid conditions, and other environmental challenges. The durable armor works to keep the Hummingbird protected against bumps and jolts both during transport and in the field.
