First, I have a GoSky 20-60 at 60mm it feels cheap and lightweight. It also is very dark. It is crisp and not soft. The Vortex is crisp thru the entire magnifying band. The light from the 85mm is the huge difference. I expected it to soften up in the higher magnification but that it not noticeable. What is noticeable is the chromatic aberration. It's HUGE in this glass. I am a professional photographer and I did not buy this for photography. I bought it for hunting and sighting in my scope. The color difference does not bother me. I will post a video where you can see this. I am happy with the build and quality. For under $500 it's exceptional. My wife and I use vortex products while eagle watching and we're adding this to our tools. The focus ring and the magnification dial are not hard to turn. I have no need for the padded sleeve it came with. I use a tripod always. You'll need a strong tripod as the weight will sag your lightweight tripod. After you get it, you'll want to carry it with you always. I have a work vehicle where I can do that. It's an excellent man toy and would make an excellent gift. Look for the purple spot in the middle of the glass on the video. Review: Add this to your birding tool kit? - update - Initially I loved this scope, considering it a good value, and I still think it is, unless you often use it at full magnification. I used it to view shorebirds, who are often far enough out to need full mag and I could not get it to focus sharp enough to view the fine details that I needed to identify similar species vs one another. The build quality seems fantastic, it looks great, and is super easy to use, but not quite enough detail for my needs so I wound up returning it. I fear a significant investment is needed to get the quality of Glass you need for long distance birding where detail is a must, but if you don't need to use it at full magnification often, I'd still say go for it but realize you're not getting a 2K spotter here but still very nice I bet for most and it's built like an absolute tank. ## Features - The redesigned Diamondback HD spotting scope has all the optical horsepower the western hunter needs, and excels in low light. It features a streamlined exterior for a sleeker profile and a built-in helical focus wheel for fast and fine adjustments. - HD optical system delivers exceptional resolution, cuts chromatic aberration and provides outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission. Multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces increase light transmission - Adjustable eyecups twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. The built-in sunshade reduces glare and shields the objective lens from raindrops and snow. - The scope is tripod adaptable allowing use on a tripod or car window mount. Arca-Swiss compatibility allows it to be mounted to Arca-Swiss tripod heads without using additional plates. Also accepts 1/4-20 threads for use on alternate style tripod heads. - O-ring sealed and argon purged, the scope delivers waterproof and fogproof performance. Armortek coatings protect the lenses from oil, scratches, and dirt. Rubber armor enhances both durability and grip for the user. - Backed by our unlimited, unconditional, lifetime, VIP Warranty. A fully transferable promise to repair or replace your item if it becomes damaged/defective. Does not cover loss, theft, deliberate damage or cosmetic damage that doesn't hinder performance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DVBRP18 | | Additional Features | Compact Design | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,722 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #7 in Spotting Scopes | | Brand | Vortex | | Built-In Media | Spotting Scope, Neoprene cover, Tethered objective lens cap, Tethered ocular lens cap, Lens cloth | | Coating | Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 455 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Field Of View | 108 feet | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00843829112901 | | Item Dimensions | 9.1 x 9.1 x 9.1 inches | | Item Display Dimensions | 16 inches | | Item Highlight | HD Optics, Fully Multi-coated Lenses, Helical Focus, Arca-Swiss Compatible - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty | | Item Type Name | Spotting Scope | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Lowest Useful Magnification | 20 x | | Magnification Maximum | 1 | | Manufacturer | Vortex Optics | | Manufacturer Part Number | DS-85A | | Model Name | Diamondback HD Spotting Scope | | Model Number | DS-85A | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required.

It’s great to use and the detail is amazing. Rule of thumb: larger the lens, more light and detailed the image is. Have fun looking at the moon at maximum zoom. You can easily see all the little details. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vortex Optics Diamondback HD Spotting Scopes - Vortex Optics High Country II Tripod Kit - Vortex Optics Car Window Mount | Use with Binoculars & Spotting Scopes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/219573377-diamondback-hd-spotting-scope-20-60x85-angled-hd-optics-fully](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/219573377-diamondback-hd-spotting-scope-20-60x85-angled-hd-optics-fully) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
