The Hummingbird spotting scope shares many qualities with its namesake bird. In the wild, hummingbirds are known for their very small size, their agility (they can fly in most any direction at will), and their ability to travel long distances (many migrate between South and North America). The Celestron Hummingbird is the world’s first “micro” spotting scope well suited for hikers, birders, and other wildlife watchers on the go.

Go “Micro”

Standard spotting scopes tend to be large and/or heavy, making them inconvenient to carry long distances in the field. The Hummingbird will shatter your expectations for how lightweight and compact a spotting scope can be, so you’ll take it places you never thought possible. You can easily hold this spotting scope in one hand, place it in a pocket, or pack it along in your carry-on luggage without compromising space.

Crisp, clear images

Although it is small, Hummingbird does not compromise on quality. All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated with high transmission optical coatings. The result is maximum light transmission for bright, sharp and contrast images. The prism is phase-coated BaK4, which increases contrast and resolution for sharper, more detailed images.

Durable, waterproof construction

The durable body of the Hummingbird works to keep the spotting scope protected against bumps and jolts both during transport and in the field. It’s also fully waterproof and nitrogen-purged, so you can use the scope worry-free in downpours, humid conditions, and other environmental challenges.

Ready for any adventure

The Hummingbird 9-27x56 spotting scope features a close focus of 10 feet, making it perfect for viewing birds, butterflies, plants, or other nearby subjects. The magnification of the 9-27x56mm spotting scope spans the standard magnification ranges of both a binocular and a spotting scope.  No matter how you choose to observe, this versatile spotting scope is an excellent all-around performer.

Ways to observe

Unlike most spotting scopes, Hummingbird is so small that you can use it handheld at the lowest magnification level for a quick view of your subject. Travelers who want to save space can replace both their binocular and their spotting scope with this one optic. But the scope is also tripod adaptable, so you can secure it to a stable platform for comfortable long-duration or long-distance viewing.

Hummingbird provides plenty of eye relief for use with or without eyeglasses. For use while wearing eyeglasses, leave the twist-up eyecup in the lowered position. For use while not wearing eyeglasses, twist the twist-up eyecup into the extended position.

Learn More

Our Buy Kiwi Buyer Guarantee is designed to protect our customers shopping on Buy Kiwi. They can shop with confidence, knowing they are protected.

  • 1. When does our Buyer Guarantee apply?

    Buy Kiwi is a marketplace that connects consumers with New Zealand owned businesses (Sellers). 

    Buy Kiwi holds the highest regard for the customer experience provided by the Sellers to consumers.

    In the event of any dissatisfaction with a purchase on the Buy Kiwi marketplace, the Seller should be first contacted and reasons outlined for the dissatisfaction be provided to the Seller.

    Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have certain rights and guarantees in relation to products you purchase. These rights and guarantees are actionable against suppliers (i.e. our Sellers) and/or the product manufacturers. 

    However, to ensure you have a great buying experience, we also offer a Buyer Guarantee, which is intended to align with your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. 

    You will generally be covered by our Buyer Guarantee when products you have purchased on Buy Kiwi from a Seller are faulty or defective, are not the same as advertised, are fake or are incorrect or have not arrived.

    You accept that our Buyer Guarantee is not a form of insurance or product warranty.

    Please note, our Buyer Guarantee does not apply to the following situations:

    1. If the Seller has not been notified first of the dissatisfaction.
    2. Buyer’s Remorse: if you decide that you do not like your product or if you have changed your mind. 
    3. Buyers Mistake: if you have ordered the wrong item (e.g. you wanted a Large T-shirt, and accidently ordered a Small). 
    4. Fraudulent Claims: if we deem you to have acted fraudulently (e.g. if we have evidence from a courier that you received your product, we will not accept a complaint that your product has not been delivered).
    5. Items shipped to a "vacant” address: if you have addressed your order to be delivered to a vacant, empty or unsafe address.

    2. My product is faulty or defective

    The following process will apply where you believe that:

    Your product is faulty or defective (e.g. it does not work, is unsafe, is not fit for purpose, or is not acceptable in appearance and finish).

    The product you have received is different to what you have ordered: e.g. you ordered a small size but have received a large.

    The number of products you have received is incorrect: e.g. you ordered 3 shirts but only received 2.

    The product you have received is a fake.

    The product you have received looks different from how it is advertised on Buy Kiwi (please note however that due to photographic and screen limitations, some actual products may differ to a small extent in visual appearance from the way they appear on the Platform).

    The product you have received has been damaged during delivery or is empty: e.g. you have ordered glassware but the product was broken when you took it out of the packaging, or, the package delivered was empty.

    The product is missing pieces or parts (e.g. you order a remote-control car and do not receive the remote control).  

    1. You must lodge a complaint with Buy Kiwi by emailing support@buykiwi.co.nz within a ‘reasonable time’ of receiving your product.
    2. Within 5 business days of receiving your complaint, Buy Kiwi will liaise with the Seller and will either (i) determine whether or not you are eligible for our Buyer Guarantee; and/or (ii) request that you send your product to the Seller’s return location so that either we or the Seller can complete an investigation.
    3. Where you are required to send back your product, you may take it to a pick up or drop off location (as notified to you at the time you lodge the complaint) (in which case it will be shipped to the Seller’s return location free of charge), or, you may arrange your own shipping (which may not be refunded). We recommend that you keep evidence that you have sent your product back to the Seller’s return location. If you are sending back a product that is damaged, please also send the parcel or cover in which your product came as it may be used to make a claim against the relevant courier company.
    4. Where we have requested that you send your product back to the Seller’s return location, Buy Kiwi will make a decision as to whether or not you are eligible for our Buyer Guarantee, within 5 business days of receiving the product.
    5. If, following consultation with the Seller, Buy Kiwi determines that you are eligible for our Buyer Guarantee, in the first instance, the Seller will either repair your product, or issue you with a replacement or a refund. 

    3. My product has not arrived 

    This section applies where your product has not arrived, or where your product did not arrive within the timeframe specified for your order (allowing for reasonable delay).

    Please note that generally, you are responsible for accepting a product when it is delivered to your delivery address. You will not be eligible for our Buyer Guarantee where (i) you refuse delivery, or (ii) your product has been tracked and signed as delivered.

    You will be refunded to the payment method that you used to pay for your products. 

    If we cannot make payment back to the payment method you used to make your purchase, we will need to make alternative arrangements with you. In the first instance you will need to contact one of our customer experience team to let them help with the refund.

    5. Using other methods to claim

     You cannot use multiple methods to get a refund or replacement of your products. After selecting a process (e.g. through our Buyer Guarantee, or requesting a chargeback from your payment provider) you may only use that process to resolve your complaint. 

    If you request a chargeback from your payment provider or file any other dispute, any requests already opened through Buy Kiwi for the same product will be cancelled.

    The warranties that we offer and provide pursuant to our Terms and Conditions are in addition to the consumer warranties and guarantees under the New Zealand Consumer Law.
