Fantastic for the price

As a budget spotting scope it's actually very good. It doesn't have a reticle, milling points, or the depth of field of some of the more expensive spotting scopes, but it does the job very well. I also used it as a telescope and got clear, albeit very small, views of Saturn and Jupiter. The phone holder is a bit bulky. I've managed to get it working remotely, but I'm struggling to get clear photos and videos, especially when using it as an astronomical telescope. I've found that using the digital zoom helps remove the optical ring from the image, which helps with stabilization. stable platform. It would be nice if it could be adjusted for uneven/sloping floors, but other than that it's very well built. I'm not sure if the maximum magnification is actually 75x, but it's definitely good enough to shoot or even see at 1000 yards. the outer planets of the solar system with the necessary focus adjustment to make one of them. Overall, not an "outstanding" scope, but fantastic value (currently $60 at the time of this writing in 2020).

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
