Product Information

Full details

The Nikon Fieldscope ED50 Angled is designed for birders, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize portability without sacrificing optical clarity. It features premium ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass that provides high-contrast, sharp images in a compact, 470g frame. While it is incredibly lightweight and easy to carry on long hikes, its smaller 50mm objective lens means it may not perform as well as larger scopes during extremely low-light conditions at dawn or dusk.

FAQs

Does this scope come with an eyepiece?

No, the Nikon Fieldscope ED50 Angled is typically sold as a body-only unit, and you will need to purchase a compatible Nikon eyepiece separately.

Is the ED50 waterproof?

Yes, it is waterproof up to 1 meter and is nitrogen-purged to ensure it is fog-proof.

How heavy is the ED50 scope?

The body of the scope weighs 470 grams.

What is the advantage of ED glass?

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass reduces chromatic aberration, which prevents color fringing and leads to sharper, high-contrast images.

Can I use this for digiscoping?

Yes, it can be used for digiscoping with the appropriate adapter, provided your camera and eyepiece combination is supported.

Is the tripod mount standard?

Yes, it features a standard mounting thread that is compatible with almost all photo and video tripods.

Troubleshooting

Image appears blurry or out of focus

Adjust the focus knob slowly to ensure the image is crisp. Check the front lens and eyepiece for dust or fingerprints and clean if necessary.

Fogging on the outside of the lens

This is caused by condensation; wipe the lens surface with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure the scope is acclimated to the ambient temperature.

Unstable image while viewing

Ensure the tripod head is locked tightly and the tripod legs are fully extended and stable on the ground.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptionally lightweight and portable design
High-contrast, sharp imagery thanks to ED glass
Fully waterproof and fog-proof for reliable outdoor use
Angled eyepiece design offers ergonomic comfort for long sessions

Cons

Smaller objective lens limits light gathering compared to larger scopes
Requires separate purchase of compatible eyepieces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, mount the scope onto a standard tripod using the integrated mounting socket. Ensure the mounting plate is tightened securely. For the best viewing experience, attach a compatible Nikon fieldscope eyepiece (sold separately).

Care Instructions:

Always replace objective and eyepiece caps when not in use to prevent scratches.
If the lens gets wet, wipe it gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth.
Avoid touching the glass elements directly to prevent oil and dust buildup.
When traveling, store the unit in a padded case to protect it from sharp impacts.
