Gosky 20-60x60 HD Spotting Scope with Tripod, Carrying Bag and Scope Phone Adapter - BAK4 45 Degree Angled Spotter Scope Bird Watching Wildlife Scenery

Very sharp image at mid range though at the longer ranges just good. Good contrast

Excellent

I've used this at the range multiple times now, I like it a lot. Every aspect of it works very well, even the tripod and phone mount that other reviews complain about suit me perfectly.Gosky have a slightly newer/fancier looking unit of same magnification (see pic). it's inferior to this one in several ways. I compared both side by side. The other unit felt cheap/fragile by comparison.I love the simple effectiveness of the ph mount. The tripod is compact and lightweight. Works fine for benchtop use.Image clarity is fine, for my purposes. I compared it to some vortex units, that were much pricier. They were slightly better, and their stated magnification wasn't exaggerated.That's my only "beef" about Gosky. It's 60x was about the same as the Vortex 48x. But, the compactness of this unit and it's magnificationworks great for me, in a well lit indoor 200yd range, to see my .223 shots on paper.I am using it with cellphone attached, and I do use the phones 2x zoom to help, but the scopes zoom is actually sufficient by itself.

Great scope for this money. Clear view, good quality, not so heavy.

I bought this back in 2021 and hadn't used it much over that time. Spent most of that time in its storage bag. I took it out recently to use on road trip only to find that the eyepiece had snapped off the body. It was clear that the eyepiece had somehow gotten stressed in storage, but I never expected it to fail so easily. It's worthless now.

The first time they sent defective optics and I returned it. The second time they sent a good new monocle - good quality

Great quality especially for how affordable very clear can see very cleary a lot further than I originally expected

Overall, this product does the job I bought it for, but just barely. I can clearly see 22 cal pellet holes in paper at 50 yards. I don't know if 100 yards will be possible. Maybe 75 for sure. It seems decently built and has a nice carry-all case. There are two things I don't like about mine. (1) The objective lens (the big end) was partly unscrewed on mine and a little crooked when it arrived. Since the unit claims to be nitrogen filled, there is certainly no nitrogen in mine now. Not sure if that really matters though. (2) The resolution is pretty mediocre. If you are used to a camera zoom lens or a good pair of binoculars, this is not in that level of quality by any means. Not even close. But hey, that's why it is inexpensive, so I understand. The image is pretty clear at 20x magnification but gets progressively blurrier as magnification is increased. It seems to peak at about 30x. Beyond this, the images gets bigger but also blurrier, and it gets blurrier faster than it gets bigger. I tested this trying to read license plates at a distance on the tripod. I found that I could read the numbers better at 30x zoom than 60 or even 45. All zooms get a little blurrier at higher magnifications, but this is excessive. Since I can manage with 30x zoom for my purposes I am okay. Overall, I think the product would be better labeled if the manufacturer advertised it as a 30x max zoom. Also, remove the suggestion that it is nitrogen filled. It's not a bad product for 80 bucks, but don't try to make seem more capable than it is.UPDATE 4/10/20. The manufacturer contacted me and asked if I would consider trying another sample free of charge. I agreed and they actually sent me a higher quality version, the 20-60x80 instead. This version is considerably better optically than the 60mm version I first bought. The image is wider, brighter, and sharper. If you are trying to decide between the 60 and 80mm versions, my experience is that the 80 is worth the extra cost. It is much larger though, if that matters. Adding 1 star because of the most excellent customer service I've ever seen!
