Gosky 20-60x85 Spotting Scope with Full Size Tripod, Phone Adapter and Cleaning Kit, Spotting Scopes for Bird Watching, Wildlife Viewing，Portable with Carrying Bag

The Gosky birdwatcher is amazing! The 20-60x zoom has a wide field of view, and the 85mm objective lens produces clear and sharp images. The full-size tripod is stable and durable, the mobile phone adapter makes it easy to capture details, and the carrying bag is light and practical. The cleaning kit is considerate, and the cost-effectiveness is super high. It is a must-have for outdoor observation!

The media could not be loaded. This is a great scope, and quite sturdy, with lots of excellent features and accessories.WHAT YOU GET: in addition to the scope itself, you get a tripod which extends over 6 feet off the ground at maximum extension, a carrying case, a cleaning brush and air-puffer, plus a phone mount for the eyepiece.WHAT I LIKED: The optics on this scope are excellent. Very clear picture, and minimal distortion, and easy-to-use 20-60x Optical zoom right on the eyepiece. It is sturdy and durable, and features a sun shade that extends over the forward lens. It also has ease to remove covers for both lenses. The coarse and fine adjustment knobs are easy to use and reach while viewing through the eyepiece.The carrying case is super convenient, as the scope is heavier than your smaller type spotting scopes. And the tripod is a great size. The phone mount is also really well designed, works with just about any sized phone, and is easy to connect to the scope without messing up your setting too much.ANY ISSUES? The only concerns I had were really with the accessories and not the scope. The tripod is mostly plastic, so it is prone to wobble a little under the weight of the scope, but not enough that I ever worried about it falling. Just that it's tough to make fine adjustments to your viewing angle while attached. It would work fine on another tripod if you have one though.Also, be careful not to tighten the eyepiece dust cover too much. One time I went to remove it and it pulled off the whole lens! Nothing was damaged, I just had to reattach it, which was quite easy, but could prove frustrating if you're not expecting it.OVERALL: This is a great buy! Quality for the price and a very easy to use. I was able to count the shingles on a house in the next neighborhood over, so it'll do great for wildlife viewing, bird watching, or targeting out to a kilometer or more. I haven't tried stargazing with it due to the weather, but I'm hoping I can get the moons of Jupiter!

The media could not be loaded. Excellent scope. We took it to Yellowstone (a must to see anything) to view the wildlife from the roads. Easy to set up and use. The stand is short but great for putting on railing or the hood of your car for quick viewing. The piece that connects your phone to the scope could be better - it worked as expected the first time we had it out. It’s made of plastic and the engineering requires tightening the piece to the eye view of the scope. The tracks that secure the connection can slip off/out of sink VERY easily - especially if you have a heavier phone (I have a iPhone max). It was 3-5 minute fix each time we went to set it up the scope. We got tired/annoyed fixing it every time we set up or if we moved it by accident - that was frustrating. When it was working however, we got some AMAZING shots! The distance it covers is incredible. Getting clear shots takes some finessing but worth it. Overall, the scope is phenomenal! The phone conversion piece needs work.

The scope is decent quality but the balance point for the tripod is too far back causing the unit to tilt down. The tripod is to flimsy.

For the price, this is a darned good scope. I'm new to birding, so this has been a considerable step up in my ability to watch far-off subjects. It also takes good pictures through my iPhone. The only problem is that the tripod is too light to hold the scope steady. The original tripod works, but it's very touchy. I replaced the tripod with a sturdier one three days after my purchase. Now it is much more useful. I took this picture today with the scope and replacement tripod.
