I warmed up to it. I’d recommend adding better battery instructions in the manual, and maybe use rechargeable batteries on future renditions, but it’s a pretty amazing little device. Very accurate and easy to use with a range 2 to 2.5x greater than competitors. It costs twice as much, but it’s so worth it.
It doesn’t give any info on the battery in the manual, and it’s not rechargeable, so I spent a long time trying to find out how to charge it before realizing the battery that was included was dead. I just bought batteries on Amazon that will be here tomorrow, but I was planning on BASE jumping tonight. Kinda disappointed, but it was the longest range one I could find.
This is one of 18 monoculars I bought recently to make a comparison video. It's one of the smaller - and least expensive - models I tested. It appears to be pretty well built with a studded rubber cover over most of the barrel. Images are fairly clean and bright. At this price it would be a great first scope for kids... or handy to pop in a purse or glove compartment for unexpected bird sightings, etc. It's a very good value.
Arrived in good time and condition everything works good.I tried it on several air rifles, and 22s. i have not tried it on a high powered hunting rifle yet when I do I will update. so far this seems like a good scope for the price but it’s still new time and use will tell how durable it is.I do like that i can use the red dot.on a few other guns if needed.it’s worth a try for the price and it has a lifetime warranty how often do you get that for this price. Thanks
For the price you can’t go wrongWell made and easy to zero in on targetHave been using now for over a month and I love it
works well...for the price. it struggles to flag lock at distances over 160 but works well enough.
Works great. As long as you don’t mind screwing it together first. Mine was not put together right. So I had to fix it by screwing the large lens into the base.
I line in hundreds of scopes for people and this one will not zero in and stay on low recoil 243.I would not recommend this!Day past return window.
I prefer 8x binoculars, but since a monocular is more difficult to hold steady, I opted for this 7x monocular.Good optics aren't cheap, and cheap optics aren't good, but this monocular is way better than I could have hoped for.It has a nice bright image, and good field of view and depth of field, making objects easy to locate and minimizing the amount of focusing needed.Cheap optics like this usually have fringing or distortion around the edges of the image, but I haven't noticed any. Focusing is pretty good too. Maybe some ever so slight fringing around the edges of brightly-lit objects, but this is only noticeable if you're really looking for it.One other nice surprise was the fact that the silver parts are aluminum. From the photos, I had assumed they would be painted plastic, but the build quality is far better than I had expected.The rubber eye cup can be folded back on itself for people who wear glasses.The rubber coating of the body has raised bumps. I don't particularly care for the way these look, but they do offer an excellent gripping surface, which helps when focusing.The focusing ring is well-damped, and turns smoothly.It even comes in a fabric case. The case is a little larger than it needs to be, but it does the job, and there is plenty of extra room inside to store the included cleaning cloth.Overall, this little monocular really punches above its weight. It's not going to outperform the really expensive name brands, but if you just want a cheap little utility monocular to throw in a bag, this is definitely worth considering.
Enjoying it, effective
Its a low cost scope, but does ok. For the price you could get a truglo, which gives better quality, but not the see-thru mounts (which are too light for center-fire use).The reticle is just weird, but usable. On my 177 air rifle it works fine. Tried it on a 22, and held zero fine. Tried it on a 223 and it didn't hold zero, but i would bet thats from using the included scope rings (they are too lightly built for that minor amount of recoil).The illumination makes everything within the scopes view appear darker than it is (and the scopes light transmission is pretty poor to begin with). Mine came with a dead battery, but it works far better without the illumination turned on, so thats actually a net positive.If you just wanted a pellet gun scope, then the busy reticle works for referencing wind and drop holds, for anything bigger there are far better options at this price point. For airsoft, the light transmission is too poor to use when trying to spot anyone in cover.
with a little modification one can see the individual electrons of a helium atom
Works great and very reasonably priced. No need to pay more as this one does it all!
I sent a message to the seller that the scope works fine as far as I can tell but I've only shot 20 rounds through since mounting it. The problem is the laser will not stay zeroed. In a gun vise it changes where it is aimed but the rifle hasn't moved. The told me "Please readjust the scope carefully, it will be fine" So if I got this right every time I’m going hunting. I need to adjust it before I take a shot so I can hit the target. They said "Yes, you are right, enjoy and have fine This is not defective parts. " I don't know what planet there from but this is a defect on earth. You can't send it back because it is a third party seller.
I have long been wanting a good set of larger 10 x 50 binoculars. Our home backs up to a wooded area and water so it is nice to see what is going on. We have a lot of birds and wildlife that are fun to observe. These binoculars provide an extremely clear image. I have used them in varying lighting conditions and the transition was beautiful. As a retired military man I do like the olive drab color with ruggedized coating. The lens caps are easily retained via a lanyard on one end and a carrying strap on the other. The case is ok for starters though I will eventually get something better. Great product for the under $50 range. Very pleased so far with it!
Rings 11mm & 20mm too high, for air rifle.Hieght adjustment maxed out at 20 yards. 3” below bullseye, ( see thru rings too high)I’m getting lower rings to fit,We”ll see if it corrects the issue, mind you it a scope under 50 bucks for teaching kids, and possibly could be used on a crossbow?
This monocular comes with several different accessories. It has a carrying case with a loop on the back, so it can be attached to your belt. This helps keep both hands free when not using it. It also comes with a tripod, and an attachment that allows you to put your phone on the viewing end of the monocular. That way you can use your phone's camera to take pictures, and record video of the object you are using the monocular to see. The tripod has adjustable legs. It also comes with two different carrying straps that can attach right to the monocular itself. This is excellent for viewing during the day, but it is not very useful at night, or in dark water. There is no mechanical light on this monocular. So the only way to view something clearly is to do so when there is sufficient enough light. It also comes with a dust cap on each end, which helps to reduce risk of scratching the lenses.
Glass is clear and they seemed like a good buy but the focus rod just snapped in half when adjusting. Every part of the lenses and focus dial are plastic. Only used a few times
I bought this spotting scope because it was inexpensive and had the angled eye piece for hunting deer and elk. As far as clarity goes, out to 500 yards it is clear enough that I can identify horns on deer. It is lighter than my bushnell 20x60x60, which is great when ounces make a difference. Obviously it is not a vortex or Leupold scope, but for the price. I am very happy with this scope.
Works great . Thank you no damage at delivery
I brought this to the range today at 100 yards and a buddy had his Vortex Viper 15-45x65, so I had something for comparison.Zoom - Fully zoomed in, these were virtually identical - presumably both about 45x. This indicates to me that the 60x is overstated (which is why I deduct a star). I suspected this might be the case when I purchased, so not a real surprise. It was easy to zoom in and out.Clarity - This scope was very clear at 25, 50, and 100 yards. The Vortex is slightly clearer, but it is very slight. This was easy to focus.Field of View - The FOV is noticably larger on the Vortex. I suspect the 60 on this scope is a bit overstated, but it is still more than sufficient for a 100 yard range.Eye Relief - The eye relief is a but more forgiving on the Vortex, but it's very similar.Tripod - The tripod isn't amazing, but it works fine. The only complaint is that height isn't adjustable. The Vortex does not include a tripod as far as I can tell.Case - The case, or rather pouch, is ok, but a bit underwhelming and it's hard to fit the tripod and phone adaptor with the scope. I didn't see the Vortex case for comparison.Phone Adaptor - It works, though a larger phone makes the scope a bit rear heavy on the tripod, so could cause it to tip over.All said, this scope is fully sufficient to clearly see holes in paper at 100 yards, and probably a bit further. It wasn't the quality of the Vortex, but for the couple hours I compared, it was really close. I'll see how this holds up over time, but it feels solidly built, so I don't expect any issues.As this was on sale for $35, and the Vortex is around $600, I'm very happy with the purchase.I would recommend this to anyone looking to get a spotting scope for range time. I can't speak for how it would work for animal/bird watching, but suspect it would continue to perform as well as higher end models.
Arrived on time works good for me used on high powered air rifle and still zeroed in after about 200 shots i hope it last I like this scope. Thanks.
It has an excellent BDC and that's what I needed
Came on time looks solid haven't had a chance to try it yet but looks like it will work well
Yes it gets fuzzy at top magnification.No you can't roll a truck over it and expect it to survive. I doubt it would be functional if submerged in seawater at 150 ATM, and I'll bet it isn't fog *proof* (room temperature to sub zero with no transition time).It is a perfect inexpensive spotting scope that easily out magnifies the mounted optics you're sighting in, and with a wider FOV, and if you leave it at the range accidentally, you won't be materially impacted.I haven't used the camera mounts or tripod, but mine came with a case.
