Spotting scopes are not intended for looking at the sun, or any
other intense light source. Such viewing could damage the
retina and cornea of your eyes—even to the point of causing
blindness.
Attaching the spotting scope to a tripod
Mount the Nomad spotting scope on a sturdy tripod or
car window mount for steady viewing. Simply secure the
tripod mounting foot on the tripod head or quick-release
plate of a standard camera or camcorder tripod.
The Nomad spotting scope
uses a standard 1/4”–20 screw
thread on the underside of the
mounting foot.
Adjustable eyecups
The Nomad’s eyepiece features long eye relief and
an adjustable rubber eyecup for comfortable viewing
whether or not you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses.
With eyeglasses or sunglasses,
fold back the eyecup.
Without eyeglasses or
sunglasses, keep the
eyecup fully extended.

Adjustable 20–60x zoom eyepiece
The Nomad features a versatile 20–60x eyepiece that
brings distant details into
view. Refocusing is normally
required when you change the
magnification.
1. Increase magnification by turning the adjustment ring
to the right (clockwise).
2. Decrease magnification by turning the adjustment ring
to the left (counter-clockwise).
Focusing the eyepiece
Focus the Nomad by slowly
rotating the focus knob until
you see a sharp, clear image
through the eyepiece.
Extendable sunshade
This fitted lens hood acts as an effective shield against
stray light. It also helps
keep the objective
lens free of soiling
caused by raindrops or
fingerprints.
Caring for the Lenses
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Nomad by keeping
the lens surfaces free of dirt, dust, and oils.
Protect Scope Lenses
Make use of the lens covers and
view-through case to protect
the lenses when not viewing.
Keep Lenses Clean
Along with normal use comes the need to clean the
spotting scope lenses. Follow these guidelines for
cleaning:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping.
Use a can of pressurized air or soft camel hair brush
(acrylic optical brushes also work well).
2. Clear lens of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog the
lenses with your own breath and wipe with the non-abrasive lens
cloth included with the Nomad spotting scope.
Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used.
However, you should never use facial tissue, heavy cotton,
or flannel clothing on lenses—these materials can scratch
the lens surfaces.
