Review on πŸ”­ 12X50 High Power DOTSOG Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder - Perfect for Bird Watching, Hunting, Camping, Travelling, and Wildlife Observation by John Miranda

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Phone + monocular + tripod combo cannot be assembled without holding the monocular or phone for stability

Monocular, lens tissue, retractable tripod and phone holder. In the attached photos I show how this product can be photographed with my phone. I had to remove the case to fit the phone holder and that's not a problem. I give the product 3 stars because the tripod could be more stable. It takes a long time to play around with the angle the monocular rests on. The monocular itself is fine, but the definition of what you see isn't the clearest (expected for the price range). You will see from the photos I had to hold my phone because it cannot stand alone with the monocular + tripod combo which can be an issue depending on why you are looking to buy this product (birdwatching etc.). ) . Also, the way I set it up doesn't look like they set it up on their promo image as my phone's camera is off center so the promo image setting doesn't work at all so I fixed it . I'm not opposed to that because it's pretty fun, even if you just mount your phone on a tripod. This is how I successfully record slow motion videos without holding my phone.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
