Flagship DiamondEdge 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with Tripod, Carrying Bag and Quick Phone Holder - BAK4 High Definition Waterproof Spotter Scope for Bird Watching Wildlife observing,Green

I bought this for our porch as we have a nice view of our local river and because I am nosey and want to see who may be catching fish! It works very well and is a great product for the price. It is mounted on a tripod and is always outside on a covered porch.

This is amazing. You can look at the stars, under water, anything hard for the naked eye to see this will help you see. It comes with a great case to carry it all in, a nice stand for it sit up on, has cleaning clothes for the lens, and YOUR PHONE can be hooked up to it to be able to see it even better!!!! It works great. This is an absolute great buy for your money!

I bought this to use on the rifle range. I hoped to use this for spotting up to 300 yards, but I knew that the distance might be stretching the capacity of the scope. At the outset, one has to say that there is actually nothing wrong with this scope. The scope appears to be well-made and sturdy. Adjusting the scope for power and focus is easy. The phone mount actually works pretty well. You have to fool around with it to get a good fit on the spotting scope and it takes some patience to get the target centered in the spotting scope so that you can see the image on the camera. But it does work, and the images come out pretty well. I did not modify the images above to enhance them in any way other than to crop them so that I could post them in this review. I didn’t bother to use the included tripod because I had a much sturdier version of my own. The padded case works well and should be substantial enough to protect the scope from damage due to the regular bumps that it will invariably receive. I gave this scope four stars because it does well for the money, but it does not have the quality found in scopes that are far more expensive. If you are intending to use this for the range, be aware that your target distance will determine your degree of satisfaction with this scope. I used spatter targets for my 5.56mm rifle, hoping that the targets would highlight enough for the shots to be seen on the scope. (The 5.56 mm round leaves the same size hole as .22, or .223 rounds - so it is pretty small.) I put the scope on a good solid tripod on a concrete target table. If I was careful not to touch the scope very much I could see the shots at 200 yards pretty well. The photo on the left was taken of a target 200 yards downrange with my iPhone that was attached to the scope. There was a pretty good wind blowing at the range, and the wind affected the scope to the extent that I really had trouble seeing where the rounds impacted. When the wind was calm, of course, the image improved. When I used the scope for my targets at 300 yards, It was nearly impossible to get a clear view of the target because of the wind blowing the spotting scope around. The camera has a quicker eye than I do, and it caught some good shots at 300 yards. As you can see, you can just make out the shots on the spatter target. The targets in the photos are 17 inches in diameter, and the bulls-eye is 3 inches in diameter. The quality of optics really makes a difference. I use a 4.5x14x44 Sig Sauer scope, and the shots on the rifle scope appear clearer than with the spotting scope for 200 yards. If you are shooting at 25-150 yards, I think that this scope will make you happy. At distances greater than that, you have to balance the small dent this makes in your budget against your need to see your shots at greater distances. If you are not going to use splatter-type targets, then scale down your expectations. At the bottom line, this is a well-made spotting scope for the money that will work on the range at reasonable yardage. If you want to get a spotting scope for regular use at 200+ yards, then you will probably have to pay a lot more for a scope that has much clearer optics.

My bird watching friends recommended spotting scopes that were way out of my price range! Scopes with prices up to $2,500! I decided as a hobbyist birder I would first try an entry level scope. After reading reviews, I decided on the Gosky 20-60X80. Oh my, was I shocked when I received the scope. It is very solid and of a really nice quality, better than I had expected. It is easy to use, has a sharp focus knob and magnification knob. The included bag is a bit tight and hard to get the scope in and out of but the included tabletop tripod is perfectly adequate. I have mounted the scope to a full size tripod I used for DSLR photography so I have more adjustments and can use it on the ground. You can see the photos I took with the included mobile phone adapter (20X scope magnification and 2X iPhone lens). Check out the video of the Downey Woodpeckers. (20X scope magnification 1X iPhone) They were all taken during cloudy weather, so the light was really not great. I guess the only small drawback to this scope is it is good but not great in low light, especially on higher magnification. I find that by putting the phone on the scope makes it much more comfortable than keeping your eye on the eyepiece, especially when waiting for a bird to land on the feeder. I do like the adjustable eyepiece relief. Is it a $2500 scope, no, but for $125 it is a good, solid scope that gives a clear magnified view so I can identify and photograph birds. I bought it as a starter scope, but as a hobbyist I am not sure why I would spend another $1000+ to upgrade to something that is perhaps marginally better, unless perhaps I was a professional.

For the money, this scope is well worth the $ spent. We have a few years on us, and for target shooting out to 100+ yards.....Crystal clear. Sharp focus which is also fast and very clear. A+++ on this purchase. Nothing to complain about on this scope. The angled up eye piece is also very nice compared to our old Bausch and Lomb. They do send a low end tripod with the scope which might serve well for a table mount....not much to brag about on the tripod.

Been wanting one of these and I'm satisfied with my purchase.Im a self proclaimed photographer so using my phone to zoom in is freakin pretty dang cool and the anim Al's have no idea there being watched. Nice case for transportation. Power doesn't really matter since I use my phone attached to the scope gives you all the zooming power you need.

Optic is clear out to about 250 yrds to see bullet hole in paper. If you are looking for a 500-700 yrd scope you need more money. Splatter targets you could see further. The phone holder is a bit cheap but it does work. Tripod is stable and goes together easily. Good scope for the price.

Nice spotting scope for range use. I spot targets out to 200 yards. It is easier to use a Shoot-N-C target past 100 yards.

While not cheap, this instrument is a very impressive bit of kit. The optics are pin sharp, the device feels very well made and is nicely designed and finished. On these zoom minoculars, you often find the highest magnification settings give a dull and hazy image, but not so on this. Even using the 60x zoom, the image is very sharp indeed. Its also easy to focus, and simple to set up, and comes in a decent quality bag for easy transportation. The tripod is a simple but effective metal affair, which works well. The tripod mount is also a standard fixing, which means just about any tripod can be used, if you need something bigger or more substantial. I found the phone adapter to be a bit of a faff to set up properly, but can achieve impressive results. Comes with decent lense covers, a quality bad, a lense cleaning cloth, and phone adapter. I'm delighted with the quality of this item, and can heartily recommend it. A++ 👌

Franchement impressionner par cette longue vue. Image nette en zoom x20 x40 et plus sombre a x60 mais reste acceptable surtout pour le prix. Je regrette pas mon achat. Je regarder la lune avec et franchement j’ai été vraiment surpris de pourvoir voir les cratères aussi bien. Aucun regret

注文してから２日程で届きました。梱包は、大きめのAmazonの段ボールで、クション材が、がっちり入っていてとても丁寧な梱包でした。goskyの スコープも、色々と、レビューをみたり、youtebeを見たりして、評価が、高かかったので、決めました。 コストパフォーマンスも、とても良くて、この値段では、手に入らない品物だと思います。開封したばかりで、まだ使用しませんが、評価通りのものだと期待しています。バードウォッチングや、月の鑑賞で楽しもうと思っています。

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.

I am quite satisfied with the product and have also been using this spotting scope for occasional exploration of the stars & constellations and take pictures of them with my galaxy s9 plus mobile camera, which can be easily attached to the scope. The results have been great for my expectations and therefore happy with the investment.
