10X42 HD Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder & Tripod - High Power Waterproof Fog-Proof Monocular with Low Light Vision for Bird Watching Star Watching Wildlife Hunting

The media could not be loaded.  Exceed my expectation.This is a great compact telescope and bird-watching monocular! It's much easier to carry around on hikes and to grab on a full moon night than your typical binoculars.      Firstly,  I find it easier to use than binoculars and all by itself it helps pick out detail on birds, with this monocular telescope I can get some amazing pictures with my iPhone. It comes with a tripod and it attaches to my phone easily the pictures that it provides are amazing even from a distance. It’s very sturdy and stable and is a game-changer for pictures.     Also,  this Monocular automatically focuses on what you point it towards, and then you can adjust the clearness yourself very easily!Really low dispersion, minimal aberrations. and her color fringing. Performs much better than I expected! I have spent more money on opticals than this in the past with far less impressive results. That is pretty AWESOME, in my opinion!     Plus, This item is another slam dunk. Powerful magnification, super easy to use and focus, lightweight, and fits anywhere.   The product is just overall AMAZING, from the quality to the extra accessories that come with it! I WOULD DEFINITELY 100% RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!

I love taking photos of birds when I'm kayaking. There's one particular bird - the belted kingfisher - who always hears me coming and is very fidgety. Not only does he fly off when I make any noise or get at all close, he flies halfway across the lake. My point and shoot digital camera is not powerful enough to get any but the blurriest photo of him.I read about monoculars online one day and decided to take a chance on this 12x55 Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder. For the price, I've been delighted with its performance. Of course, I got it during the very hottest part of the year, when my phone overheats very quickly.I've been going out on the lake earlier and have been really surprised by how easy the monocular is to use. It takes very little adjustment to come up with a clear image, and pairs well with my iPhone 6s camera. Even when I'm in my kayak, the monocular is extremely easy to get out of my bag and get ready. What takes longest is getting my phone into the adapter cradle.I've added some images; the first with no zoom on my phone, so you get the ring of the attachment that the camera aims through. As you zoom with your phone, that disappears. The images I get with my iPhone 6s zoom with the monocular are easily far more detailed than the best my Canon Elph 360HS gets on its highest digital zoom.While the photos of the bald eagle and the obscured belted kingfisher seem a little blurry still, know that I am in a kayak, not using the tripod that is included, and trying to hold the monocular and the phone. If I were in a stable location, and had lots of time to prep, I bet the photos would be even better. And again, that's with my garbage iPhone 6s's native camera.Really loving that I took a risk on this monocular. Can't wait till Fall and Winter to get a chance to try it out when the sun is less brutal.

Works great for hikes and keeping in my truck for spotting. Easier than carrying the binoculars

Light weight and well made but does work with work with phone camera and very difficult to navigate.

Works great, focuses well, very clear zoom. I attached two comparisons of a brick wall 30ft away and a pumpkin 100ft away, first with my phone camera digital zoom, second using the scope. The difference is obvious, without the scope theres no way I was taking a good picture at that range. If you have problems taking good pictures, make sure your phone is focused correctly and hold it still, the adapter is a bit flimsy and will shake if you dont hold everything firmly. Construction seems pretty good, has a rubberized shell. Glass is clear and free of imperfections.

HI THERE. I REALLY WANTED THIS PRODUCT TO SEE THE STARS AND BIRDS. IT APPEARED TO HAVE GREAT REVIEWS, BUT FOR ME, THIS PRODUCT WON'T WORK FOR ME. I HAVE REALLY GOOD VISION, AND I TRIED AND TRIED TO ADJUST THE FOCUS TO SEE BIRDS/STARS CLEARLY, BUT IT IS SLIGHTLY BLURRY NO MATTER HOW I ADJUST IT. I HAVE TO SEND BACK, AND I GUESS INVEST IN A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT.

I began searching for a monocular a year ago. If I had been shown this one when I began my search I would have concluded the search immediately. Structurally extremely solid; you can literally feel the quality. Super easy to zoom and focus with only one hand. I read the directions, but didn’t need to becuz it’s so simple to figure out. This monocular even comes complete with a nylon storage bag. I couldn’t image how I could even improve the quality of this thing. Since several of my friends or family members share the same hobbies or interests as me, they are all getting the same thing for Christmas; THIS!!! I understand researching things like this before buying, so my suggestion is simple; Start your search with this monocular. If you do, your search will end before you even know it has started. I could not be happier.

I tried numerous times to get this to work for me on my iphone. It didn't work for me at home and it didnt' work at all at the concert I recently went too, which is why I got it. If I did not lose the lens cap at the concert, I would have returned this item. In the dark of the concert hall, I was able to look through the lens and see a very clear and solid picture of the artist. I just wanted to see it on my camera and take a good picture.
