Review on πŸ”­ Roxant Authentic Blackbird HD Spotting Scope with Zoom - Rubber Armored, Fully Multi-Coated Optics + BAK4 Prism. Includes Tripod & Case + Lifetime Replacement by Chris Rob

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money

For reference I tested the oscilloscope for Roxant Beta so I got my money back. This is a great space! I will recommend this device to my friends and acquaintances, do not hesitate. It is definitely cheaper than other similar devices and has the same features. The included instructions were all I needed and were concise and to the point. I assembled the unit and started using the scope within 5 minutes of removing the box. It doesn't feel cheap given the price, and the tripod is easy to extend due to its lightness. I like it! The zoom is sharp and clear, even at high levels, and I was able to find and hold focus easily without slipping when panning. I recorded my shots from all three distances (25, 50, 100 yards) with no difficulty. I plan to take it hunting in November and use it at the stand. I used to use my scope to scan an area which was cumbersome and I think it would be better suited for that purpose. Great size and weight! It's smaller than I expected, which is a good thing since it's extremely portable. I was able to mount it to the back of a four wheeler and the crate we had for that purpose. Only in tall grass was the tripod a bit shorter, but that was to be expected. The case and construction are relatively solid - mine got a small scratch on the case when a friend roughed it up (thrown it into a metal truck bed). but it didn't affect the work. I didn't do higher endurance tests with it because I like the device and it wasn't bought to destroy it. The case is very sturdy and holds up well except for one scratch (which is very minor). The focus ring worked smoothly and didn't twist when pressed, which is a plus. My friend's scope had a "clicky" focus wheel and liked the smooth focus better on my Roxant. As long as Roxant keeps the price around $90, it's an amazing deal. If it ever drops below that level, make sure you pick it up.
