Users of the Swarovski dG 8x25 can immediately see which animal they have seen on their smartphone.

The 8x magnification of the dG makes it easier to identify birds and animals at longer distances. With the simple push of a button, your observations are transferred to the "dG Mammals" or "Merlin Bird" ID app for automatic identification. Observers can instantly see on their smartphone which animal they have seen.

Operation of the Swarovski dG 8x25 multifunctional observation device is intuitive. dG stands for "digital guide".

The high-quality optics promise amazing visual experiences. Thanks to the integrated, high-resolution camera (13 MP), observations can be immediately saved as a photo at the touch of a button. Operating the device is extremely easy. All key functions can be operated via a single button.

The integrated WiFi hotspot with a range of 5 m allows several people to follow the live-strem observations. Of course, all pictures and videos can also be shared via smartphone on social media. The monocular with digital animal identification will be available from the beginning of April 2020 with a  MSRP of 1990 euro at selected specialist retailers and in the online shop at www.swarovskioptik.com.
