What’s the difference between this one and the cheaper models that are also 20-60x80?

I compared this ED model and the cheaper HD model ($179) side by side. I found this one has significantly larger FOV. This one has a wider eyepiece, making it more comfortable for long time viewing. Other than these, the two models perform very similarly in terms of image clarity and resolution. I did not find the dual-focus feature very helpful. When I change the zoom, I still have to refocus, just like the cheaper model. I ended up using the fine-tune nob all the time, never needed the fast focus. This scope is larger in size and much heavier, which is a deal breaker for me. Besides, the tripod adapter on this model is inferior, less compatible to many tripod brand than the $179 model. I am a casual wildlife observer. The cheaper model just fits the bill. If I were a serious birder or hunter, I would probably invest in a top model of Swarovski or Zeiss.

What is the warranty?

It has a lifetime warranty if you register it with Gosky within 21 days of purchase. If you don't register it, it's just a 1 year warranty. A card in the box tells you how to register it online.

Is this spotting scope good at 1000 yds?

bought this for my daughter for her birthday. At her lake cottage she photographed a bald eagle across her lake and it was very vivid. could have been that far

What attachment fits for a nikon dslr camera? i thought i could use this gosky scope with my nikon camera, but all i can find is phone attachments.

These worked to attach my Nikon D5200 to the Gosky 20-60x80 Dual Focusing ED Spotting Scope. I'm still trying to figure out how to use it though as there is no aperture control without a Nikon lens attached (I am in manual mode). Scope to T-ring adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JPK7VMM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 T-ring and telescope T-adapter: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JPK7VMM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Note: The telescope T-adapter isn't needed to attach the Nikon to the Gosky, but since it was included with the T-ring and I had a telescope it would work on I ordered this instead of just getting the T-ring adapter alone. The price difference was negligible.
