The National Parks Viewing Scope happens to be a stationary viewfinder from the same company that churns out coin-operated binocular scopes that are found at national parks, boardwalks, and scenic overlooks. The waterproof optics will feature a 60mm object lens that delivers 20X magnification alongside a fully reciprocating focus as well as a field of view of 110 feet at 1,000 yards, making it ideal to observe a city from a high-rise balcony or a passing dolphin pod from the deck of a beach house. The eyepiece itself will sit five feet above the base, and there is also a built-in, one-foot standing ring that enables shorter viewers the chance to join the observation. Money might not be able to buy you happiness, but it can get you a view unlike any other.
