More than three times as heavy. Celestron's 56 and 60 mm scopes weigh 20.8 and 19.4 oz; its 100 mm TrailSeeker and Ultima weigh 70.3 and 72 oz.
Greater aperture adds weight here.

The objective diameter is not the magnification
Celestron’s objectives range from 56 to 100 mm. The Hummingbird combines a 56 mm objective with a 9 to 27 magnification range; the large Regal ED combines a 100 mm objective with a 22 to 67 range. Read the objective, eyepiece range and viewing angle together. The selected scopes use angled viewing, so this selection does not compare angled and straight bodies.
The figures are Celestron’s optical specifications, without viewing sessions to judge sharpness or low-light detail. Magnification alone cannot answer those questions. Never aim a spotting scope at the sun without an appropriate maker-approved solar arrangement.
The support kit travels with the scope
Scope weights span 19.4 to 74.1 oz among the 11 models with supported weights. The compact LandScout has the 19.4 oz figure; the large Regal ED is 74.1 oz. The larger LandScout has no supported weight here, so it cannot be placed in that carry comparison.
LandScout’s environmental description is “Water Resistant”, while the Hummingbird says “Waterproof”. Preserve that distinction when planning exposure. Inspect the exact eyepiece bundle, tripod connection and included accessories, then check packed dimensions for the scope and its support separately.
Before you buy
Why do the Regal M2 weights look light for their size?
Celestron gives those three figures without the included eyepiece attached. With it on, the 65, 80 and 100 mm Regal M2 weigh 58.2, 66.6 and 85.3 oz, which puts the largest Regal M2 above every other stated weight here.
Are all of these spotting scopes waterproof?
No. Celestron labels ten of them Waterproof, but both LandScout kits say Water Resistant, including the light 12-36x60mm. If you'll glass in rain or near spray, the Hummingbird is the small scope that carries the Waterproof label. More than three times as heavy. Celestron's 56 and 60 mm scopes weigh 20.8 and 19.4 oz; its TrailSeeker and Ultima at the largest Regal M2 objective size above weigh 70.3 and 72 oz. Top zoom climbs too: 27x and 36x on the small pair, 66x or 67x on the largest objective group. Carry a small one; the big ones suit a truck or deck.
Does this include straight spotting scopes?
All 12 are angled models, so if you want a straight eyepiece, none of these is one. Only the two LandScout names include a table-top tripod and smartphone adapter; the other ten names mention neither, so read Celestron's page for what comes in the box.
