Gosky 20-60X80 HD Dual Focusing Spotting Scope, BAK4 Prism 45 Degree Angled Eyepiece with Tripod, Smartphone Adapter, Scope for Bird Watching Target Shooting Hunting Wildlife Scenery

The media could not be loaded. 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 priceFeel like a kid when you see how far it can reachWant to keep exploring moreWant to travel with it everywhere I go just in case you want to know what is that way out thereClear picture during the dayMaybe 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 A7iiiIf you have any questions contact me on Instagram Musicman33us

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.

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

I was skeptical about buying it as it looked like a Vortex knock off unit. Bought with it in mind I could return if didn’t like it and get something else. Didn’t know comes with a lifetime warranty and well, it performed awesome. Very clear optics, light in weight and for just over $200, very worth it. I’m an avid deer and elk hunter in the Northwest and sitting on a ridge glassing miles and miles of ridges, canyons and hillsides is all I do. This will be perfect

This is my first spotting scope and I am very please with it's overall quality, weight and support.I have a Nikon DSLR camera... while the package came with a Canon adapter, the comments notedthat they will supply a Nikon adapter... I did and then promptly sent the Nikon adapter for free.Still getting used to it, so at least temporarily I rated the picture quality 4 star... but I really haven't put it through it's paces in an area (beyond my backyard) where I could adequately judge... so likely will come back to revisitFor the price, I'm extremely satisfied.update: I have not been able to get my Nikon D5200 to focus using the adapter. Newest problem is with the cell phone adapter and my new iphone pro 13. I cannot get the light settings to work in "photo" mode... all I see is a big white circle, no image, unless I remove the phone from the adapter, away from the eyepiece. then I see the phone able to auto-adjust and I can see (now a very small) image in the lens. It works "ok" when in video mode, but not any of the still picture modes. Must be something with the pro 13's three lens system.
