SVBONYSV28 Spotting Scopes with Tripod and Phone Adapter, Angled 25-75x70mm Spotter Scope, Waterproof Fogproof Spotting Scope with Desktop Tripod for Bird Watching, Target Shooting, Wildlife Viewing

Review from my 12yo son: This is my first ever spotting scope. It's lightweight and is easy to use, with or without the tripod. I do have to say, the tripods that come with these scopes are small, and I can't use them as much. It worked well with identifying a few of my new "life birds", such as the Bullock's Oriole. The phone adapter is good, and you can adjust it to fit your phone in, it just took me a bit. Though, like all scopes, binocs, those things, when you're at 75 yards, it can be hard to focus.Probably the best thing about this is that you don't have to spend a lot, 60$ at most. It's a great scope that is more affordable for people who are new to birding, hunting, etc. Would recommendIt comes with lens wipes, tripod, phone adapter, and the SV BONY SV28 25--75x70mm spotting scope; apparently the scope's sunshade works?

I haven’t used it on the rifle range yet, but looks and feels like good quality. Viewing through it looks like the lenses are good with no apparent distortion. I give it a thumbs up 👍 especially for the cost.

Estoy bastante seguro que por el precio es la mejor opción a comprar. Svbony ofrece una relación calidad-precio que dificilmente se pueda ver en otros productos similares.La vista es bastante buena, diría que es un poco opaco, y se nota la aberración cromática cuando se ven objetos brillantes, pero al precio esto son detalles menores.Mis únicas pegas son realmente el trípode que tiene, que es básicamente inútil. No dude ni un momento en poner el telescopio en un trípode de cámara más adecuado y la observación se ha vuelto muchísimo más cómoda. Y mi otro problema es con el enfocador, es demasiado sensible, lo que hace que querer enfocar correctamente se vuelva un proceso más bien frustrante.Sé que este telescopio no está hecho para observación celeste, sin embargo con el trípode adecuado he podido ver Venus, Júpiter, la Luna y Marte. Las vistas son buenas, pero como decía anteriormente, se llega a notar la aberración cromática, que se minimiza al estar correctamente enfocado, y tal como avisaba, el enfocador al ser muy sensible, hace que sea muy complicado enfocarlos.Adjunto un par de imágenes de la Luna que procese tras tomar videos con este telescopio, una es a 25x y la otra a 75x.

The camera mount that came with it was very finicky and a hassle to deal with. Customer service reached out to me and offered multiple solutions to my issue. I wanted to use the spotting scope so I accepted a new phone mount. It is easy and fast to use and looks like it will work just fine. Top notch customer service and now thrilled to use the scope again.

One of my best purchase on Amazon. My family and friends are always amazed whenever I let them look through it, the image is so clear. I also appreciate the inclusion of phone mount or holder, thanks.

The optics are *ok*. Tends to fog up, and the tripod is NOT smooth, BUT, for sighting in at 100-200 yards, it's a reasonably good value. Just don't ever look through a friend's $500 scope to see the difference, because you'll only feel sad after.

Very short delivery time, very reasonably priced, works great!

Went to a birdwatching place and used one of these. I had already purchased binoculars but this was very easy for the “motionless” variety. Having this set on the target…bird.. was really easy when trying to sight in the species.At first I was concerned about the sharpness and the zoom. When I brought it to the field it was plenty crisp to see the finer details of the “plumage”. We saw birds at 100yds, 200yds, 300 and 450yrds.Missing for me is the ability to adjust the eyepiece for my correction as well as the fine tuning focus option. Similar have both and that amount of control would be great but in the end, this worked well as the distances.The tripod is fine but not commercial photog grade. The iPhone holder take a bit of fumbling to get to work but with more patience - could be ok.Have fun
