Review on 12X50 HD Monocular Telescope With Smartphone Mount - Perfect For Outdoor Bird Watching, Hiking, And Camping (Model1) by Jason Pinkney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice lightwieght easy to carry scope

This is a nice lightweight monoscope, which is easy to carry and could fit into a back or jacket pocket. Its very clear when focused properly and can even accept a smart phone camera which attaches easily once you figure out how to do it. I have attached pictures showing how this is done. #1 shows the included lens cap with a threaded hole in the center. This simply screws onto the spring loaded camera bracket. #2 shows how this looks when done. #3 shows the assembly fitted to the camera. Make sure you adjust the hole in the lens cover over your phone's camera lens. #4. I found laying the assembly down flat on your phone's screen and firmly pushing the scope into the lens cover is the easiest way to make sure the phone's camera lens doesn't twist away from the peep hole in the cover and be blocked when attaching the scope. Refocus the scope if needed and you're ready to take pictures. The last 2 pictures are of the same scene and show the before and after using the scope. If there is a dark circle surrounding the view in your camera, simply "stretch" the picture larger on your screen until it disappears. Since cameras very in size and camera quality this will also very. The pictures in this review where taken at my camera's lowest resolution.
