At the Global Birdfair, Leica the optics specialist from Wetzlar not only presented a new spotting scope. No, two new spotting scope series, each with two objective lens diameters, were presented.
The new APO-Televid 2025 is available with 65mm and 82mm objective lens diameters. Either individually or as a set with the popular 25-50x wide-angle zoom eyepiece. The most important new feature is the improved optics with apochromatic correction and High Lux Pro (HLP) system. Proven dual focus, magnesium housing with full rubber armouring and 5m waterproofness with Aqua-Dura coating.
This revised spotting scope model is complemented by the more affordable Televid HD. Leica combines this in a set with the new 20-60x zoom eyepiece. The sacrifice of maximum quality is of course reflected in the purchase price. Leica has also introduced a range of new accessories, such as a stay-on-case. A new tripod set, which was developed in collaboration with Leofoto, and new smartphone adapters.
These are the new sets:

BEYOND SEEING – Swarovski Optik wants to usher in nothing less than a new era of wildlife observation with the launch of the AX VISIO.
The first smart binoculars that allow you to observe nature, identify what you see and share your discoveries.
The AX VISIO combines classic observation with the digital world. The integrated apps allow you to identify over 9000 animal species. Birds, mammals, butterflies and dragonflies are stored in the database – not just on the basis of the picture that was taken on your smartphone. Moreover, the identification result is displayed directly in the visualization. You can also mark landmarks, pass on the binoculars and your companion will be guided to these points by arrows. The integrated compass helps with navigation. Up to 5 mobile devices can be connected to the AX VISIO. This means that your companions can also watch what you are seeing live on their smartphone or tablet. It’s the ideal function for nature hikes.
The optics are based on proven Swarovision technology and show you our nature in brilliant colors with outstanding brightness and sharpness. The 10x magnification allows you to recognize numerous details.
You can already pre-order these top-notch binoculars exclusively in our shop. Delivery will start at the beginning of February.
