Way better than fussing with binoculars
We are bird watchers and have trouble with binoculars due to eye issues. The monocular is simple and works well with no double vision! So much easier to track birds you see with your naked eye and then find with the monocular. It is small enough to carry without it being a bother and has a decent case. Have not mastered the smartphone part yet but look forward to trying.

Worked amazing for eclipse photos
I was looking for a lens to attach to my phone to take photos of the total eclipse, and this worked amazingly well. Setup was easy and it stayed securely attached to my phone, and the lens quality was really good. Pictures came out very clear, and it was all very compact and easy for travel.

Great monocular, but has issues.
This monocular works very well under the right conditions. A tripod is highly recommended if you want clear and stable shots. The monocular has a 1/4″ screw hole for mounting it. So far I am very happy with what I’ve achieved with this device.The smartphone holder is a little finicky, but it works. The one I received does not match the one that is shown in the description/picture. The one in the picture has a screw for tightening the smartphone in place, mine does not. Instead it uses internal springs to grip the phone in place. Not sure what that’s all about (probably an older model?). I already had an incident where I accidentally bumped into it making it get it out of alignment, and I had to mess around with it again. Plus the way the smartphone holder mounts to the monocular doesn’t feel secure. It only uses a single screw to tighten and holds onto the monocular by gripping it, there is no screw hole. I’m worried someday it might just slip off. I may get the better upgraded one in the future.Once the smartphone is perfectly aligned, open your camera app, and you will see a black surrounding circle. Zoom in a little to get rid of it. With the tripod that I have, I was able to get a nice shot/video of a bird on my family’s bird feeder. The first picture is from my phone without anything attached (you can see the bird feeder in the distance). The video is with the monocular and the smartphone holder. The monocular has a fixed zoom and can focus manually if need to. Although the video clip isn’t perfect (forgot to turn off auto-focus in the camera app), it still looks great! Much better then what I was expecting!As the monocular is also designed for using while holding in the hand, I will probably never use it that way, unless you have a VERY steady hand, it will be very shaky. For me using a tripod is the better way to go.

From a connoisseur of monoculars
2023 update: this scope has held up to a couple years worth of use and abuse. I’ve dropped it a couple times and it is holding up well. Still works the same as the day i bought it. Highly recommend this product.I am a “fine” connoisseur of Chinese made monoculars. For a variety of reasons, this the 5th one I’ve owned.The box is sturdy and doesn’t have that cheap “Chinese knock off vibe”. I was impressed. This scope does come with a lifetime warranty. LOL. I won’t hold my breath on that one, but at least it’s there.The case is sturdy canvas with belt loop. Surprisingly, it’s lined with a microfiber of some sort. Bonus.The scope is a little heavier and larger girth than what I would call “ideal” for carrying it around in my pocket like i want, but it does fit. This might be too big around for folks with smaller hands unless you use it two-handed. I have to slide my hand back towards the smaller taper in order to adjust focus and hold with one hand. I also had to remove the lanyard screw to facilitate this. I don’t want the lanyard attached so no biggy to me. The focus knob is perfect tightness. Easy enough to turn one fingered but not loose enough to turn when pulling in and out of my pocket.The camera mount is sturdier and holds more secure than other one’s I’ve tried. Once adjusted and fitted, my phone held perfectly fine in position and i was able to take perfect clarity photos.The scope feels very well built and I have high hopes for this one. I will try and update after a year’s worth of heavy use and see if it still holds up.

Pictures suck – Device Great
The monocular is pretty nice. The eye cup is Innovative and the visual quality is pretty good, but if you look closely the focus is off around the edges which shows on photos as a distortion. Using just as a monocular focusing on the main subject your brain interprets it and it looks great overall. As a phone photography system which is what itâs being billed as a product – it is completely misrepresented by showing photographs zoomed in birds full screen. So the images provided by the manufacturer are quite misleading. I looked through the category at other competitive products and they all show a bird of some sort in a full screen picture on their phone. And in all cases they actually show a circle around the outside as if youâre looking through a telescope. This effect is caused by the distance between the glass lens in the Monocular and the lens on the camera. The creative mounting system but theyâve come up with to replace the old one (that wasnât very good) causes an increased air gap between the lenses further exacerbating the low picture qualityIncidentally there seems to be no way humanly possible to take a photo as shown in the advertising pictures. You shoot a picture with an image with black edges around it and you crop it into another picture lowering the resolution further. Thatâs how theyâre showing the photo of a bird itâs actually not an actual photograph itâs a cropped photo and âsimulatedâ on the phone. And with that being said they have to crop it really tight to get whatever was in the very center otherwise you will see all the distortion around the outside. Take a look at the picture uploaded as I think it clearly shows distortion in multiple locations everywhere other than the very center.So for this reason I give this a three and am returning the product. If you want the gosky monocular by itself thereâs another listing here. And I think itâs totally worth the money. But the phone accessory is a bust. Donât believe the manufacturer images.

Muy contento con la calidad del telescopio monocular, aunque el accesorio o adaptador que trae para el acople del tfno. no sirve, pero al igual que otros modelos, muy difÃcil de ajustar para centrarlo bien, por lo menos con un Iphone 14, no se como será con android pero para iPhone no sirve

Great customer service, high quality lenses, attachment works with any cellphone, crystal clear vision, great value for your money. Customer services offered free binoculars for this purchase. Both caps can stay attached so you won’t lose them. Light weight.

Returned item as it wasnât suitable for requirements. Binoculars are a much better bet .
