MM4 60 GA ED/45 Travelscope

    Combining all the features that make our travelscopes the #1 choice for thousands of users the world over, the MM4 60 GA ED series continue to deliver our maxim; “smaller, lighter, brighter, sharper” to anyone searching for a supremely compact & versatile high quality instrument for long range accurate observation while on the move.

    Designed & manufactured in Japan, the compact HDF ED optical system creates an instrument only 260mm/10.2" long. Constructed from lightweight materials, an MM4 60 weighs about the same as pair of 42mm binoculars and can be used without a support for crystal clear flat-field observation at magnifications below 20x. Unlike binoculars, they deliver stunning clarity and definition up to 45x when fitted with HDF T or SDL zoom eyepieces. Compatible with HR2/3, HDF and SDL eyepieces, existing fieldscope owners can use their eyepiece with an MM4 body.

    Features
    • 60mm HDF ED lens design
    • Fully multi-coated optical system
    • Lightweight polycarbonate and alloy body

      MM4 Travelscopes - David Chandler

      Wednesday, November 17, 2021

      These are well-made scopes and both deliver very good images. Optically, I think the 60mm is a bit better, and it does have higher magnification. But the 50mm is smaller, a little lighter, less expensive and focuses much closer. If you’re making the choice, choose which of those features is more important to you.

      In my case, I spend lots of hours walking through the mountains with all my gear with me, and coming from a long and heavy scope, I can say this is a life-changer. I strongly recommend this scope for nature guides and travellers who carry all their equipment during long field journeys.

      One of the stand-out qualities of the MM4 + HDF T zoom eyepiece scope is the image clarity. It was so high we actually got a little addicted to using it! Good enough to see fish’s eyes from puffins’ hard-earned catches, there was little noticeable chromatic aberration even when set at maximum zoom. The zoom itself was useful proving very handy when tracking porpoises in and out of the fjord.

      Another birder with a 600mm lens found the bird and put me onto it. I found it very easily with the scope and then focused onto it. I was spellbound by the clarity, sharpness, and brightness of the scope. Without exaggeration, it was like looking at a photo in a magazine.

      I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this scope to ANYONE who might ask me.

      MM4 60 GA ED/45, HDF T 15-45x and USM-2 - Josh Hill

      Monday, March 25, 2019

      One of the MM4 60’s main qualities is its weight, at only 619g, I can carry it miles without feeling any strain. The scope is small too - 280mm (10.2”) exactly and means it fits neatly into my backpack.

      Yet what was most impressive was the clarity of the image. It is pin sharp and the light-gathering of the 60mm object lens owes nothing much to the far larger telescopes of the Aigas rangers.

      The optics are excellent. I’ve become used to how good this scope is that I forget how lucky I am - I recently borrowed a friends scope to watch a match since I had already packed and I was shocked at how dark and yellowish the image was.

      As an archer I need to see the end of my arrows which are less than half a centimetre wide on a target face at between 60 & 70 metres distant in all weathers and this little scope did not disappoint. The clarity of the lenses coupled with the high magnification eyepiece was outstanding.

      In the dark tropical forest the MM4 coped with exceptional performance. Although birds were sitting high up in the dark canopy I was able to find them quickly and zoom in. The zoom eyepiece was very effective in this environment in that most of the time I was using 15x magnification to locate the birds and then zooming in to 40-45x for better views with no compromise of the image.
