Gosky 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with Tripod, Carrying Bag and Smartphone Adapter - BAK4 Angled Telescope - 2019 Updated Newest Waterproof Scope for Target Shooting Hunting Bird Watching Wildlife Scenery

I was cynical about the optical quality of a monocular worth 15K INR. The binocular that I use costs 35K+ but that's something I use most of the time. The spotting scope I bought was mainly for wetland birding, including coastal, shore and offshore birds, something that I won't be indulging in too much post the migratory season is over (in India it hits peak between Nov and April). Hence I didn't wish to spend much. However, the optical quality and the utility of the mobile camera adapter has far exceeded my expectations. Please check the images of the ducks and the terns shot from over 75 and 100 meters away respectively. With patience and some practise, you can get images useful enough for identification when your camera and binocs fail, which is often the case in wetland birding. It's not a substitute for the photographic lens is what one must remember. Once you accept that fact, it is a great monocular for spotting and identifying distant birds at an unbeatable price.I have not used it for any other purpose yet, but my wife plans to use it for stargazing. Once she tries it out, will update or tell her to post a separate review. A slightly heavier build would have been preferable since I found it unstable in windy conditions at 60x zoom. But I guess this is what you can expect for 15k. The mini tripod is an absolutely useless accessory included in the package and I have trashed it already. So I suggest Gosky remove it and deduct a few hundred bucks off the price.Bottom line: 20/10 for the mobile adapter, 10/10 for optics, 6/10 for build and ergonomics and 0/10 for the mini tripod.Give a thumbs up if you find this helpful.

Product is great in this price. Received with good packaging. Build quality is good- 4/5Captured picture quality also very good 4/5.Other accessories also with good build quality and compatible with all all mobile devices.Power of zoom also great even at only on 20x you may cover objects at much distance in a good quality.Zoom and focus controls are very smooth.I tested it for moon as well and got great results.

Gifted my father this spotting scope since he loves bird spotting!! He was so excited and happy..The product is very sturdy and build quality is top notch. It's easy to operate and with little practice one can handle it. The phone attachment is an added boon!! The tripod could have been a little sturdier but I forgive gosky for that... The scope just compensates for all the money I paid...Great buy!!

An exceptional product! Package includes a carrying pouch, mini tripod, lens caps, smartphone adaptor, a cleaning cloth and ofcourse the spotting scope itself.The spotting scope is quite bigger than I have expected. The images are very clear and exceptional on low lights. I would recommend buying a full sized tripod for better viewing.

The image quality is awesome! I've never used a spotting scope or a full telescope before, but this has been solid for me. We even use it from inside our home, through a window and it works well!I've used it to view animals , birds, and even the moon and some planets! It obviously won't be as strong as a high quality telescope, but it's pretty great.I haven't tried the tripod it came with although it seems pretty solid. I've been using a different, larger tripod.I haven't tried other slightly more expensive scopes with comparative optics, but I'm not disappointed in this at all. Quite pleased actually!

Adjustment of lense is bit hard for new user though it's worth to buy product, happy with quality and result.

Front cap is very fragile. Does not latch well. Tripod mount has lost pain in 2 uses. Overall average or below average build quality.

A good spotting scope.Good Points:1. Good Range upto 60x. With mobile, it can be further increased. First moon photo without mobile zoom. Second moon (partial) is with mobile digital zoom of 8x.Bird photo is of Starling at a distance of 120mtr with mobile zoom 8x on scope zoom of 60x.2. Mobile adaptor is good3. Can carry easily on shoulder weight around 500 gm4. Comes with good bag.5. Packaging is good.Points for improvement1. Tripod height is of only 30 cm. Should have been at least 1 MTR.
