Features:
The PROMASTER Infinity Elite ELX spotting scope is a high-performance instrument employing advanced optical
technology. The precision compressed optical design minimizes size and weight while maintaining superior
optical quality and high magnification. The PROMASTER Infinity Elite ELX spotting scope uses and Extra Low
Dispersion (ED) glass objective lens to correct aberration yielding superior image clarity and resolution. The fully
broadband multi-coating on each of optical elements ensures the best image throughout the field of view. The
eyepiece lens is a standard 1 1/4 inch size generally used with astronomical telescopes and enables use of a
wide range of astronomical eyepieces (optional) for the maximum versatility when using your spotting scope.
Magnesium alloy construction ensures the most precision alignment of optical elements in a lightweight, ultra
durable body. Your PROMASTER Infinity Elite ELX spotting scope is designed for the most in-climate weather
conditions. It is o-ring sealed and nitrogen gas filled to make the unit waterproof and to prevent the scope from
fogging due to temperature variations. This enables you to use your scope in rain and inclement weather
conditions. PROMASTER’s exclusive REPELLAMAX™ element repellant coating, helps to insure that you will have
the best viewing experience possible under extreme conditions.
Installing the Field Carrying Pouch
Unzip the Field Carrying Pouch and insert the scope body. If you have difficulty inserting the scope,
remove the eyepiece by turning the eyepiece locking ring counter c lockwise. After the scope body
is in the pouch, replace the eyepiece by turning it clockwise. Be sure that the eyepiece is mounted
correctly and is tight on the scope body.
Att
aching to a tripod
For the best performance your spotting scope should be attached to a sturdy tripod. The better your
tripod, the more stable your viewing experience will be. A tripod and head from the PROMASTER
SystemPro Professional tripod line is an ideal choice. To mount the scope, screw the mounting
screw on the tripod head to the tripod screw hole at the bottom of the tripod platform.

Adjustable Eye Cup
The eyepiece, which is included with your scope, has an ad justable eye cup. You may adjust the eye cup
up or down by turning it left or right to obtain the best possible overall viewing as you zoom your scope.
Focusing your scope
Your scope is equipped with a precision focusing mechanism. Rotate the fast focus wheel to obtain
general focus of the object you wish to view. Use the micro focus wheel to achieve the sharpest image
possible.
Built-in re
tractable lens hood
In strong sunlight, pull out the retractable lens hood to reduce glare on the front objective lens of your
scope.
Viewing angle adjustment
The viewing angle of your scope is adjustable for the most comfortable viewing angle. To adjust the
viewing angle, loosen the clamp screw and rotate your scope left or right. Once you have the scope
positioned properly, tighten the clamp screw. Make sure your scope is firmly locked in place to avoid
movement while viewing.
SLR camera adapter
Your PROMASTER Infinity Elite ELX spotting scope is uniquely suited to telephotography. Your scope
includes an SLR camera adapter. To mount your camera, place the SLR camera adapter over the scope
eyepiece and screw to the adapter mounting collar on the scope body. Screw a T-mount adapter (not

T-mount. The top mounting ring of the SLR camera adapter is adjustable. To properly orient your camera
on the scope, loosen the mounting ring at the top of the SLR camera adapter, adjust the camera position,
then tighten the mounting ring to fix your camera in place.

could cause the spotting scope to become deformed.
5. Do not use the spotting scope under the water. While your spotting scope is waterproof and can be submersed,
submersion to a depth greater than the specification or l onger than the specification will cause perma nent damage and
will void the warranty. When splashed with salt water, wipe the scope with a clean cloth moistened with fresh water.
