UNEGROUP Monocular Telescope, 12X60 High Power BAK4 Prism Low Night Vision Scope, Waterproof HD Telescope with Smartphone Adapter & Tripod & Remote Shutter for Bird Watching Hunting Best Gifts for Men

The item is very well made. It's was sturdy and has a bit of weight to it. The provided clamp holder is also sturdy being made of plastic and it held the lens onto the camera securely.Initially, I had no problem viewing the picture thru the camera. There is a circle of view that is available and if you zoom in with the phone or the lens itself, the picture becomes blurry. I tried to adjust and that's when it just did not focus no matter how I adjusted the lens.Overall it's to problematic to use daily. The few images I was able to capture is not worth the hassle. I will be returning this item.Side note : I was using lens on a Samsung S10+. I had no issues with the lens getting the correct camera view. I just couldn't figure out how to adjust the view. The first picture was my first attempt. I was sitting about 9ft away and zoomed in on items in pictures. The second picture was when I was trying to adjust the image to be clearer and somehow lost the view. I was never able to get it to focus again.

There are a ton of BAK4 monoculars on the market. This one has some useful features - a nice tripod which doubles as a handgrip, a smartphone adapter which works even if your phone has multiple lenses and a battery operated remote shutter for the phone. What it doesn't have is 50 power magnification. Monocular and binocular standards are expressed in Power X Size of opening. So a 50X60 should mean 50 times magnification and the lens opening of 60. (Wider is better). This model has magnification of about 12, not 50, which makes is about as powerful as typical binoculars. So the description is not accurate.

I have bought something similar about 2 years ago for my husband. Well, it was dropped and cracked. So I needed something new for him. Plus the other one didn't have night vision. We had an issue in the fall with raccoons attacking our chickens. This has been great. The kids have enjoyed watching wildlife that is out the woods with this. They have enjoyed taking the pictures with the phone mount. I have been able to catch the chickens as well some nights.This will be great during the summer with the kids. They enjoy sitting up in the tree house and looking for things all the time. Now they won't question if it's a dirt pile or an animal far out. They can use this and find out for themselves.

I purchased this item for an upcoming trip and was not happy with what I received. It stunk of plastic and had the rubber/plastic coating around the tripod thread loose and coming off. It was cheaply made and I had no choice but to return it immediately. In all honesty, I couldn’t get past the monocular and didn’t even try anything else that was in the box...I have no idea if they were good or not.

Took a while but I finally was able to get this thing focused. Surprisingly the instructions do not specify what to adjust to get a clear and focused image. The gauge on top of the scope will focus the image and the larger gauge on back will zoom in or out.

Not easy to use

Excellent as a monocular. Clear long distance viewing. No night vision. The tripod and camera attachment are absolute crap. Only fits a very small phone. I have an iPhone SE. it fit only if I took the case off. Once attaching monocular it is too heavy to stay in place on the phone and topples over tripod.

Magnifies so much, it does not work well if you are holding it in your hand. Looking at things at a great distance on warm days, the picture will become distorted from heat waves.Other than that it is a good bang for your buck.

Shame on Amazon for pushing merchandise that is redundant, not fit for purpose and useless. This can only be used up to iPhone 9 and the App required is no longer available!

Good value for the price
