Gosky Updated 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with Tripod, Carrying Bag - BAK4 Angled Scope for Target Shooting Hunting Bird Watching Wildlife Scenery (Phone Mount+SLR Mount Compatible with Canon) 1

Review of Gosky 2019 updated newest spotting scope that came with canon dslr and iPhone adapter. I bought the scope to shoot a few eagle nest and screech owl that I know location of. I saw a guy with this scope and he was able to reach all the way into the tree while where the screech owl was located with his iPhone than I could with $3000 camera and 100-400 mm sigma lens. The review below is for those interested in shooting the moon. I haven’t tested it out for birds but expect the same issues. The photos and videos I posted of the moon were all shot on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. See pics and videos I attached. It was extremely windy yesterday and I used a light tripod so I think the pics and video could have been sharper. This morning I realized that I had a old fotodiox adapter I used to attach my canon lenses so that I could use it with my Sony A7ii camera. I had no issues attaching the fotodiox adapter to my Sony A7iii and the included canon dslr attachment to the scope so now I can use all 3 of my cameras. I have not taken any shots of the moon with dslr or Sony camera. It was a nightmare due to the weight of the camera body and trying to find the moon while scope was in vertical position. The moon was way up in the sky. It was so easier with the iPhone since the iPhone was lighter so my tripod didn’t shake much and it it automatically focused the moon most of the time and was better quality. I shot the pics in raw in my camera and video in 60 frames a second. I did not edit or crop any of the pics or video. These are straight out of my iPhone. Yup it got that close to the moon. I had to zoom in on phone not to get the vignette. Cons: you need to be patient shooting moon. It takes time trying to find the moon on a tiny whole of the scope. Weight balance of dslr or Sony camera will cause a shaky video if you don’t have a sturdy tripod and ball head. . So use a sturdy tripod with a pan handle since earth rotates so you will need to slowly move the tripod ball head to line up the moon. To much movement and your back to being frustrated cause you need to find the moon again. Pros: worth the price Feel like a kid when you see how far it can reach Want to keep exploring more Want to travel with it everywhere I go just in case you want to know what is that way out there Clear picture during the day Maybe easier shooting still subjects like eagle nest. I plan on lining up the full moon with Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty with this scope to compare the ones I already shot with my Sony A7iii If you have any questions contact me on Instagram Musicman33us

Bought this for a trip to Yellowstone (got there 2 days BEFORE the flood...) and used it to spot bison, elk, eagle, and pronghorn. To be fair, Yellowstone makes this easy... We just drove to Lamar valley, stopped along the road side and pointed this thing at any patch of earth, and BOOM - Bison! What this product does is make it very easy to see the animals off in the distance, beyond what the naked eye can see. I never snapped pictures of them through the scope because I was enjoying just watching their behaviors. The attached images show the capability of the scope. The first image is a test setup using the phone mount that comes with the scope. The camera is pointed at some school artwork that was 45 feet away (measured with tape measure, see red circled area and red arrow pointing to it). This artwork is where the kids glued pennies to the paper and drew something around them. As you can see in the second photo, I was able to put this on full zoom and you can clearly read the "One Cent" text on the penny from that distance! The third image is a shot of the moon (more difficult - It moves!) and you can clearly see the craters and features, but not SUPER clear. I think better optics would be needed for that, but this is not a telescope, so I was not upset by that. I got several comments from others in Yellowstone about what I was able to see - They were impressed that I was calling out what was out in the field - They couldn't see the animals with the naked eye.

Quite happy. Right from next day delivery and right of the box. I was feeling good. I only used is a little bit so far and never used a spotting scope before but this was pretty easy to figure out, set up and use. The magnification is really good for me. I could just about count all the craters on a 1/4 moon last night. I bought it mainly for crossbow target practice. So if I can see all the holes in the moon which looked like a pinky finger nail clipping to the naked eye, I'm sure it will do fine for target spotting. I have a Galaxy note 10 phone and it fits fine on the phone mount. It's takes a few times to set it up just right but it definitely works. Because the scope is already magnified to start and a long lens it takes practice to find the object even at lowest zoom but once you lock in and zoom in on it slowly and adjust slowly it's like "Wow"! Fact: I would definitely buy this if I hadn't already. I did my research on them. And this was one of the high rated ones especially for the price and quality. The tripod is nothing to brag about but it dose the job for a table top target spotting scope. You don't move it often once it's set. For bird and wild life you will need a good fluid head tripod made for real cameras and long lenses. The one it comes with is usable to start but it's not smooth so it's hard to lock in on the object. It's not the scope, it's the tripod. Again if I lost this scope I would have to go buy another one for what it's worth to me. Also be sure to read all the instructions and register your warranty. I'm a happy camper so far.

Tired of buying a disappointing Lupold scope at around $450 with low clarity and quality. This scope outperforms the Lupold at a much better gun range scope. Shooters, I recommend it.

Ok so this product is good for the price you pay. It does not feel like a cheap toy and the 80mm objective lense lets plenty of light pour in. The focus knob is silky smooth. The clarity is nowhere near the $500 Athlon Ares scope you can get but, what I did enjoy is that the chromatic abberation was suppressed, although present it was minimal, I will attach a pic of what CA is below. My gripes are that it is extremely large 2x as big as the Emarth scope and the tripod mount threads are plastic... Like really GoSky, couldn't go out of your way to spend a few more cents to include metal threads. In conlusion, it is a nice scope with decent clarity for the money however the tripod and the mounting plate are utter trash.

Exceeded my expectations. Great FOV and clarity. Focus knobs very responsive, mag knob a bit tight. Great scope for the money.

The unit focuses easily for razor-sharp images. Great for bird watching. The tripod is a table top tripod but is decent quality for a simple free tripod. The phone adapter is terrible. The hold is too small and make alignement a painful process.

This item was purchased for a trip to Yellowstone National Park and boy was it worth the investment. Having a scope can be the difference between an uneventful hike and an amazing day of wildlife viewing. I was able to view 4 grizzly bears on my hike and wouldn't have seen them without the scope. They were probably half a mile or more away and the view is crystal clear at the eyepiece. I was able to connect it to my DSLR camera and my smartphone. The smartphone had a better resulting photo but nowhere near as clear as viewing through the eyepiece with the naked eye. We spotted a male grizzly bear off in the distance that we would have never seen and we not stopped to take a look around. We were also able to spot a female with her Cubs at the top of a mountain. if you are thinking of making a purchase to enhance for wildlife viewing I would highly recommend this product. It was extremely lightweight and was able to pack it with my camera gear in my carry-on bags for my flights. I had people with expensive long lenses asking if they could look through my scope.

probabilmente chi si lamenta non e’ in grado di usarlo e potrebbe tranquillamente fare altro . non ci crederete ma la prima foto e’ scattata a 26 km di distanza ( rifugio brioschi, grigna settentrionale, preso dalla chiesa di montevecchia), la seconda a 18; il tutto in condizioni dì luminosità scarsa, e lieve foschia , a tramonto inoltrato. le foto sono state lievemente postprodotte al fine di rendere meglio i dettagli ho detto tutto..? ah no, ho utilizzato il mio iphone 11 proMAX con un app per il digiscoping free su applestore( phoneskopecam) , in grado di utilizzare un singolo obiettivo dei tre del telefono ( ovviamente il teleobiettivo 10x) senza problemi o shift automatici sulle altre ottiche.

Excellent pour l’observation des cratères lunaires👍. A venir randonnée montagne, impatient de l’utiliser pour l’observation des animaux sans les déranger. Dommage qu’il y ai un petit tremblement lors du déclenchement d’une vidéo avec le smartphone sur l’adaptateur. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Livraison du colis comme prévu👍👍. Livreur Top👍👍👍

Update 08/22 Ich bin nach wie vor begeistert. Sowohl Rotmilane kreisend überm Feld, wie auch in der Nacht Mond und Planeten beobachten klappt für das Geld gut. Anbei mal Fotos mit dem Handyadapter von meinem Galaxy S20+ im Pro-Fotomodus (im Editor dann etwas an der Helligkeit gespielt) Der Jupiter der Saturn sind super zu erkennen. Mit den Augen durch das Spektiv schauen ist klarer und schöner als mit dem Handy. Das Spektiv ist klasse. Die Vergrößerung ist der Wahnsinn. Das Bild ist klar und scharf. Ich bin begeistert was man damit alles sehen kann. Der Handyadapter funktioniert, ist aber teils etwas fummelig bis man es perfekt eingestellt hat. Handy-Zoom klappt bei mir nur von 1,0-2,2. Alles andere erzeugt ein schwarzes Bild. Bemerkenswert ist der Support vom Verkäufer new-vision. Ich hatte Anfangs Probleme mit dem Spektiv und mir wurde fantastisch geholfen. Besser geht es wirklich nicht. Ich hatte mir zum Vergleich die günstigere alte Version bestellt und muss sagen das der Aufpreis sich lohnt. Das 2te Rädchen zum Scharfstellen ist viel viel feiner. Das klappt super. Außerdem ist das mitgelieferte Stativ deutlich wertiger und besser. Trotzdem sollte man sich zusätzlich ein vernünftiges großes Stativ kaufen.

Easy to use good quality good delivery.

Gut verarbeitet und für Natur und astronomische Beobachtungen mehr als ausreichend.
