Monocular Telescope - 12x56 High Powered, Compact, Dust-Proof, Waterproof, Handheld Scope with Smartphone Adapter and Metal Tripod - Ideal for Hunting, Stargazing, Birdwatching, and Outdoor Adventures

The media could not be loaded. I did my research and looked at many options before making my choice of a 12x50 High Power Monocular Telescope.First of all, I will start with the monocular which is light weight about 8.4oz, powerful, compact size that is perfect for traveling with a high-quality lens.Second of all and what I like the most is the cell phone holder which is really easy to use, what surprised me the most is that you get two types of phone holder in the box, one for small smartphones and the second one for larger smartphones, so you don't have to worry about your phone size... both are really easy to connect to the scope.The tripod is also made from good-quality materials and is enough stable to provide quality pictures.In the box there is a lifetime warranty card... so I believe this is pretty cool, instructions, cleaning cloth, hand strap and a case for the monocular which is really niceI took the little monocular to try it and once I connected it to the phone I was surprised how far and clear this scope can go, I took some pictures of two beautiful ducks that were about 350ft away from the camera and the result is amazing, I can't wait to take it with me in my next adventure.Overall, this is very easy to assemble and very straightforward to use, with great accessories and great quality lens, I will definitely recommend this monocular... really worth the money

I purchased this item as An “open box” as a casual scope to keep in my car for birding. For less than $6 I received a mid-level monoscope with surprisingly excellent quality, very easy to use and with a holding strap that allows me to easily locate and sharpen images with one hand. The included mini-tripod was sturdy and the carry case was not bad. The images were sharp and lens quality rivaled that of more expensive brands. The camera attachment was not great but i it wasn’t why i made the purchase. The lens caps were a thick rubber and stay in a place well. The bottom lens cover is attached to the scope but even though the eyepiece cover is not attached, it stays in place and I’ve not lost it yet (a miracle considering I misplaced the lens caps in the 2-3 days for both sets of binoculars and for my telescope). I would recommend if this is the magnification and lens size that you need, and you are using them as a hobbyist. Im cannot judge the appropriateness of any monoculars or binoculars for professional use, but I am familiar with lens quality as a microscopist and saw no obvious flaws. I believe that most would consider the purchase to be a pleasant experience, even at the reasonable full price of <$40.

I am comparing this to my 10x28 vortex binoculars. The zoom and the viewing area is about the same, 2oz heavier with the case and all. The cell phone adapter feels sturdy and is very adjustable to get it over the Pixel 8 Pro cameras easily - make sure you have the right camera for the zoom etc. For some reason I was thinking this monocular would have its own zoom but it does not. Seems a good product for the price.

If you're on a budget, this is one of the most powerful pieces of equipment a beginning birder could own. The zoom isn't quite far enough to see birds on a large lake, but it is more than sufficient for identification in most birding environments. It can get closer than my current pair of binoculars and I love that it's compact and easy to carry on long hikes. It seems very well built and comes with a decent carrying case. The image quality is quite crisp. The focusing knob is easy to use. It comes with a little tripod, which might come in handy if you're by a wall/car and want image stability, but to be honest, I will probably just use it handheld. Bottom line: it's powerful, inexpensive, and well-built. It makes a nice addition to the larger pieces of equipment that I'm currently using and especially great if I need it for friends tagging along on my birding adventures.

Excellent quality. Well constructed. Crisp and clear images. Portable, but the tripod and attachment for a smartphone camera is brilliant. If you hold it up and look, you will see it has a rather narrow field of view. It is ideal for setting up a shot and taking it. It is NOT a zoom lens, but rather a relatively powerful fixed lens, feeling a bit like a telescope. Nice product and fabulous price. A satisfied customer.

This product is great. Perfect size. Camera attachment is easy to use and you are able to take pictures using your phone. Would pack easy for a trip.
