Smaller, Lighter, Brighter, Sharper

The MM4 series is designed for observers who want serious spotting-scope performance without carrying a large and cumbersome instrument.

At only 235mm long and 788g, the MM4 62 GA VHD/45 is remarkably compact for a 62mm scope. Its lightweight construction makes it ideal for birdwatchers, wildlife enthusiasts and travellers who regularly cover significant distances on foot.

At lower magnifications, its compact size and low weight can even make short periods of unsupported observation practical, while mounting the scope on a suitable tripod unlocks its full potential at higher magnifications.

62mm ED Triplet Objective

At the heart of the MM4 is a 62mm ED triplet objective lens, designed to deliver excellent image quality while maintaining the scope's compact dimensions.

The high-quality optical system helps control chromatic aberration and provides impressive resolution, contrast and colour fidelity. This makes fine plumage, markings and distant details easier to distinguish, particularly when observing demanding subjects at longer distances.

Fully Multi-Coated VHD Optics

Opticron's VHD optical system combines the ED triplet objective with fully multi-coated lenses and prisms to maximise light transmission and image quality.

The result is a bright, sharp and flat-field view with the clarity required for detailed wildlife and bird observation.

Precise 9:1 Dual Focus

The MM4 62 GA VHD/45 features a wide focus wheel with an accurate 9:1 ratio dual-focus system.

The main focusing action allows rapid adjustment when moving between subjects at different distances, while the fine-focus control enables precise adjustment when examining small details or working at higher magnifications.

Built for the Outdoors

A spotting scope designed for travel needs to cope with unpredictable conditions. The MM4 combines an aluminium alloy and polycarbonate body with full soft-touch NBR rubber armour for a balance of low weight, durability and secure handling.

The body is waterproof and nitrogen gas filled, helping protect the internal optical system when the scope is used outdoors in changing weather.

An integrated rubber objective cover provides additional protection for the front lens during transportation and field use.

Rotating Tripod Mount

The integrated tripod sleeve features a large footprint for stability and can rotate through ±90 degrees.

This allows the eyepiece position to be adjusted to suit different viewing situations and makes the scope easier to use when sharing between observers. A standard 1/4-inch connection provides compatibility with suitable photographic and spotting-scope tripod heads.

Interchangeable Opticron Eyepieces

The MM4 62 GA VHD/45 is supplied as a body-only spotting scope, allowing you to select the Opticron eyepiece best suited to your requirements.

Recommended options for general observation include:

• Opticron SDLv4 15-45x – Product code 41280

• Opticron HR3 16-48x – Product code 41145

The MM4 is also compatible with selected Opticron HR2/3, HDF and SDL eyepieces, making it particularly attractive to existing Opticron fieldscope owners who may already have a compatible eyepiece.

Ideal for Birdwatching & Wildlife

It's an excellent choice for:

• Birdwatching

• Wildlife observation

• Nature reserves and wetlands

• Coastal and estuary observation

• Long-distance viewing

• Hiking and travelling

• Digiscoping with suitable accessories
