3.0 out of 5 stars Decent 4x scope, but advertised inaccurately

2026-01-28    -Anthony

I like to carry a scope with me on sightseeing trips to get a better look at landmarks that I may not be able to get close up to. I used to carry a pair of high powered binoculars, but they were old and cumbersome. I ordered this scope as it fits nicely into a carry on bag and looked easy to use. I've had it for about a year now and here is my breakdown:PROS: The scope is study and well made. The optics are clear, and the focal length is adjustable both with a large adjustment on the eye piece and a fine adjustment knob on the case. The lenses show now artifacts and do not distort the image in anyway I can see. The view size is nice and I'm easily able to move my eye around within the picture of the scope, so the field of view is pretty decent. The overall size is good too, about the size of a mid-sized metallic water bottle. The scope has a standard tripod mount and comes with a phone adapter and a small tripod. I don't use these so I can't comment on them.CONS: The scope advertises itself as 80x100, which typically means 80x magnification with a 100mm objective. I didn't verify if the 100mm objective is accurate, but I can tell you right now it's no where near 80x modification. I verified magnification at a range. An object 1/4" tall at 1200 ft was about 1" tall through the scope. That is 4x magnification, not 80x. I'm not sure where the 80x number comes from, but it's vastly inaccurate. So, if you're buying this to get a close up view of the Statue of Liberty when sailing out of the Brooklyn cruise terminal like I did, you'll end up disappointed. However, it is decent enough for, say, checking out the top of a skyscraper from the ground when you aren't hoping to see extreme detail.Overall, the scope isn't terrible, but you should be aware what it is, and what it isn't, when deciding to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product!

Absolutely thrilled with my monocular outdoor telescope with the smartphone adapter! As someone who spends a lot of time in my deer stand, this has become an essential piece of gear for both hunting and wildlife observation.The clarity and magnification are impressive, providing crystal-clear views of distant animals, even in low-light conditions. The magnification is perfect for spotting deer from afar without startling them, and the image quality remains sharp without any noticeable distortion. The design is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around and comfortably hold for extended periods.One of the standout features is the smartphone adapter. It's super easy and I can quickly capture photos and videos of the wildlife without having to take my eyes off the view. This has made documenting sightings so much easier, and I love being able to share the moments with friends and family.The build quality feels durable, and I can tell it’s designed to handle the elements—whether it’s rainy or foggy, I haven’t had any issues with the optics. The grip is comfortable, even in colder temperatures, and I appreciate how steady the monocular stays in my hand.Overall, this monocular telescope has greatly enhanced my hunting and wildlife viewing experience. Whether I’m scouting deer or observing other creatures, it’s become an indispensable tool. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality monocular for outdoor adventures!

Really happy with this monocular! The zoom is strong, the picture looks clear, and it’s light enough to take anywhere. It's also super eas to use, just twisting the wheel and you’re good to go. I love that it comes with a phone holder and tripod, which makes taking photos way easier.

As a family, we have been looking high and low for the appropriate monocular telescope that would allow us to not only be able to watch the wildlife near our home but also to be able to see the stars and the constellations on clear nights- Something that is becoming an important hobby for all of us. Well, that need has been met and beyond with the purchase of our monocular telescope. This product has given us the image quality that we so desired at a price point we never thought possible. We literally can see the five stars that this product warrants in this rating and beyond. Ifbyou’re looking for an easy to use, quality product we can’t encourage you enough. It’s so amazing to use something so lightweight that can work so spectacularly well. It fit perfectly on to the monopod that we already owned and in no time at all, we were stargazing and watching a family of ducks make their way through the yard . Try it for yourself and you’ll find out how amazing this new tool can be - happy star-gazing!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for viewing--comfortable, easy to use, and very clear over long distances

We live on fifteen acres and on a hilltop, so suffice to say we have worked our way through many different monoculars and binoculars, and this is one of my go-to ones for quickly seeing what's going on around our property. It's comfortable to use, amazing clear, easy to focus, and holds its focus well. For the price, you really can't go wrong if you want to use it for viewing. My only complaint is that it doesn't take great photos, at least for me. And, like someone else mentioned, the photos are round (I knew that going in, but it does limit their usefulness). My phone zoomed in takes better photos than with this monocular.

1.0 out of 5 stars False advertisement

As many stated, false advertisement. Zoom is not 80x, and lens size is not 100mm. I realized that's why I bought another brand that said 20x zoom and 60mm lens, but it cost almost double the price as this. That's because they brand is true, and this brand is falsely saying you get nearly double the magnification and lens size for half the price. Too good to good to be true. That's why I always buy multiple brands starting out so I can compare quality and specs claimed, and watch for the price. Turns out this case was one of false advertisement. Like many others said, it's more like 10x zoom and 40mm lens size. Now the price makes more sense. They could just be honest, as build quality is nice and I'd still buy for the price they ask, maybe a bit less, and they work fine. But they are dishonest about their product specs.
