Gosky Monocular Telescope, Piper 12x55 High Definition Monocular for Adult with BAK4 Prism & FMC Lens, Lightweight Monocular Handy with Phone Adapter, Suitable for Bird Watching Camping Traveling

After comparing with cheaper unknown brands and finding the optics atrocious, I ordered this plus a big name much more expensive to compare both before making any decision. The more expensive one with the top quality lenses was brilliant, but needed two hands to operate the focus. This one though had images almost equal in quality, really hard to tell the difference, and can easily be operated with one hand. Yes the overall size is far greater but in some ways that can be an advantage. Getting the phone adaptor and a small tripod of very acceptable quality, and all for less than half the price of the big name competitor made it a no-brainer. I've never heard of this brand before but will very happily recommend it to anyone looking for a useful item to pack whenever outdoors.

Great Product , Performs as per advertised and good value for Money

I decided to try this scope as my introduction to Digiscoping and it proved its worth having gained many good views and piccies using my phone. It is very robust and easy to use. It does have some downsides though. The tripod supplied with it is very small and of no use to me so has had to be replaced with a better one to provide stability that is required. The other problem I have faced is that of the magnification. It is simply too much. 20x doesn't sound a lot but when you are at the top of a mountain trying to take a picture of the liner you are cruising in at the bottom and you can only get less than half of the ship into view you will get an idea of the problem. It is amazing at distance with great clarity and sharpness. At mid range, like most scopes, its hard to centre on the objective before it has flown away or moved. At close ranges its almost impossible which I believe is common with scopes in general. Customer service from GoSky hasn't been the best due to issues with registering the warranty and a failure to repond to another issue. Overall its a good quality product with a low pricetag.

I bought the Ghsky 12×55 monocular telescope for my Grandson for this Christmas 2023. I had to have a go of it and i couldn't believe how Crystal clear the view was and quite powerful too. The phone adapter is well made and the tripod is too. The monocular is really well made and very good quality. Nice green strong rubber coated and fits nicely in your hand. Also comes with a strap which when fixed to monocular, it can be adjusted to fit your hand. Plus a nice quality storage case which can be attacted to a waist bent and a cleaning cloth for lences. Front rubber dust cap which hangs off when using the monocular so not to loose it. The eye cap is free, but i have tied it with some strong fishing line. I highly recommend this monocular telescope, beats a pair of binoculars where you get double vision and have to mess around until you get them focused, where as with monoculars it's straight to your eye and focus them. I had thinking of getting myself one of these. Oh and when you fix your mobile phone, your able to zoom in even more from your phone and the pictures are great and video whatever and share them to family and friends. FIVE STARS and well worth every penny.....

Fits well in the hand. The strap gives a very secure hold and allows adjustment of focus with one hand while viewing. Magnification is better than I hoped and is comparable with a small telescope. A stand is required unless you have very steady hands or something to lean on, but a cheap monopod will suffice. I haven't tried the phone attachment yet but it seems solid and easy to use. The quality of the viewing is very good. I find the adjustable eyepiece function is really handy. It is light but feels solid and well made and would not be a chore to carry around or take on holiday.

It's good for close up pictures with a smartphone but distances aren't as hyped up as advertised.

Just been away with the hubby and used the monocular on a walk. Hubby used it to spot birds, and it exceeded expectations. I was amazed at the distance we could see things, I thought I'd test it big time by spotting a pylon tower about 5 miles away, when I looked through it I spotted a windmill beside the pylon tower that was not visible with the naked eye. We were well impressed. It's lightweight and easy to use and the hubby wears glasses, I don't so the way you can adjust the eye lens to suit your own vision is easy to do in seconds, it does what it says on the box, and fits in your hand really well making it easier to keep it steady, the strap is spot on in helping with steadiness. Yeah, we'd recommend this monocular for sure, good buy.

Its a compact monocular, well build with a quality lens for the price. Its easy to hold and adjust once you have the strap fitted. The smart phone adaptor works well although there always appears to be a circular shadow around the image. Overall very handy to have in the car when out sight seeing or on safari. If you struggle using normal binoculars and can't focus them this is the answer!

It is a nice product value for money. thanks

Ich habe einige Ferngläser und Monokulare ausprobiert. Dieses ist preislich an die hundert Euro und es lohnt sich die Mehrausgabe im Vergleich zu den günstigen 12x60 um die 45 €! Ich nutze es beim Bogenschießen im Bereich bis zu 70m. Ich kann meine Pfeile/Nocken noch sehr gut erkennen. Dieses war bei den anderen nicht immer der Fall. Das Restlicht ist auch bei bewölktem Himmel ausreichend. Abgesehen nutze ich u.a. auch eine Schießbrille. Hier habe ich ich jetzt den perfekten passenden Begleiter im Turnier, was mit einem Fernglas immer etwas problematisch war. Natürlich gibt es auch kleine Nachteile! Es ist aber Jammern auf höheren Niveau. - Die kleinen Ösen für die Aufhängung von Tragebändern ist etwas dicht am Korpus. Hier muss mit ganz schmalen Schlüsselringen gearbeitet werden. Das Gute wiederum, es sind 2 vorhanden!

Gran nitidez de la imagen. Alcance fantástico. Cosas que a simple vista pasan inadvertidas, se ven con claridad. Lo recomiendo. Merece la pena. Estas son las primeras fotos y vídeo que he hecho. Ampliando un poco se elimina el efecto agujero que aparece al principio.

Clear and bright Focus

you can barely see as far as 200 meters that's it?! very disappointing , money wasted.
