 Perfect for my home use Jul 27, 2009
By Jim Morrison
This unit has a 60mm objective lens (actual measurement I found to be 1.5 mm less, but I may not know how to measure it). The power, 15 to 45 is adequate for this lens. Images appear very sharp and bright and accurate in color. I am not an expert by any means, but I have used this spotting scope in my living room to look at boats, birds and the mountains and find it adequate for those purposes. It is not an astronomical telescope, but I have have fun looking at the moon and Jupiter with it. If you want something more powerful you may want to consider something else. Don't try to put a more powerful eye piece on this scope, IMHO. The price, BTW, has gone up considerably since I purchased mine (my older model has different graphics on the housing, but seems identical otherwise)so you should read other reviews on scopes of this lens size and magnification to compare prices. I have traveled a little with it and has been quite durable. I purchased a Vanguard Video Camera tripod and found it was steady and a great addition to the scope. The eyepiece cover is still holding on, but the threads seem a little delicate and easy to strip. All the adjustments are smooth and easy to use.
Scope is good but the tripod is junk Dec 12, 2011

I bought this kit a few years ago for my son. On first use, the most notable thing about the kit is the cheap tripod which was loose, impossible to adjust finely and did not hold position very well. About the third time we used it the center broke out of one of the cheap, hollow,knurled plastic knobs securing the pivot, which rendered the tripod completely unusable. Now we have to position the scope using sandbags in order to use it.
In my opinion, there is no excuse to saddling a decent spotting scope with such a cheap, breakage prone tripod.

I ordered this item from Webyshops listed as 3 in stock. Got an email three days later stating back ordered out of stock as of this review site stills claims three in stock. They haven't updated their site. They still haven't credited my account. Beware!
