Spotting Scope Bundle for Father's Day - $50 off Celestron Spotting scopes and tripods
We've talked about spotting scopes in previous newsletter and they're always popular Father's Day gifts. The extra power of a spotting scope compared to a pair of binoculars makes nature and landscape views in the distance easier to see.
For this Father's Day, buy either a Celestron Ultima 100 or TrailSeeker 80 spotting scope along with a Slik 504 tripod and you'll save $50 on the price.
The larger Ultima 100 provides brighter, more detailed views with the TrailSeeker more compact for travelling. We've heard some great feedback from customers who've recently purchased these Celestron spotting scopes especially for whale watching.

Meade CanyonView Binoculars - Some of the best for money value binos we've seen for a long while
We get a real buzz at BINTEL when testing new gear if we find something that makes us both amazed at the quality and asking "How much did you say these are again?" The Meade CanyonView range of binos that now available store did just that!
The CanyonView binos feature Extra Low-Dispersion or ED glass. This is usually found on more expensive optics and helps bring all the different colours of visible light to a much sharper focus.
It results in some of the best views for their price range that we have seen. Recommended by BINTEL for bird watching, nature viewing or taking to the footy or cricket. Available in 8x42 and 10x42 sizes.
In addition to the bag and carry strap included with most binoculars, these also include a cleaning kit and shoulder harness to reduce neck strain.
