Gosky 20-60x80 Spotting Scope with Phone Adapter, Dual Focusing Waterproof Spotting Scopes for Target Shooting Bird Watching Hunting Wildlife Safari Viewing, BAK4 FMC Spotter Scope with Carrying Case

I decided to purchase this spotting scope because I was so impressed with the GoSky 10x42 binoculars. I wanted a more powerful optic to add to my kit that I take with me while doing geological fieldwork. Again, I have been thoroughly impressed. This spotting scope arrived in very secure packaging, completely encapsulated in a secure foam cutout. It is nice to know that the vendor takes this kind of care into consideration when shipping their product. My immediate reaction to this scope is that it emulates another brand of optics that specializes in spotting scopes. However, this other brand has similar scopes in the $899 to $1500 price range. My GoSky scope is $289.99 at the time of purchase. The GoSky scope features an 80mm objective lens which excels at gathering light. This means more accurate colors when viewing objects in the daytime. The large objective lens also allows you to see more celestial objects at night. I was able to clearly make out individual craters on the moon when using this scope. The GoSky scope feels hefty and robust. This is a good thing. It is important to understand that you will need a sturdy tripod while using this scope. Your image will be too shaky if you use this scope as a handheld. This is to be expected with most optics over 10x magnification. The zoom feature is located on the eyepiece and is variable between 20x magnification and 60x magnification. It feels smooth and sturdy when adjusting. The dual-speed focus is located in front of the eyepiece. This also works as expected and allows for very fine tuning of your image clarity. The provided case for the scope is a little thin and a tight fit but does the job. My only complaint is that the scope does not easily fit in the bag with my tripod mount attached. There is a zipper on the bottom of the case for this but it still requires a bit of maneuvering to fit properly. However, this is really a non-issue at the price and is just nitpicking. The provided cellphone camera attachment works wonderfully. With little trouble, I placed my camera in the mount and attached it to the scope. It required no adjustment thereafter. Furthermore, GoSky provides a small pamphlet to help improve your image using this mount. Finally, this scope features a side swivel that allows you to rotate the scope on a tripod. This is useful if you want to change the angle at which you are looking through the eyepiece. I highly recommend this scope!

I'm an avid bird watcher that needed a quality spotting scope that could help to see further than with my binoculars and to use for bird photography. This Gosky dual focusing spotting scope definitely helps identify birds that are at a great distance away and takes excellent quality photos. I used a Motorola Moto Z4 with an Otterbox case for the photos and the smartphone adapter that came with this scope adjusts easily to fit a larger phone. The materials that were used in this Gosky spotting scope feel like high quality materials and seems to be a solid build. The dual focusing knob and zoom ring are very fluid and turn with ease. The dual focusing knob is a nice feature because it really helps to create quality photos and see great detail on the object you are viewing from a great distance. When purchasing a tripod, I would definitely recommend to get a heavy duty tripod with a fluid head because this scope isn't compact. Also if your phone does not have a phone with voice command to take pictures, buy yourself a bluetooth remote so you don't have to tap your phone when taking photographs and distort the image. Overall I was really impressed with the quality of the photographs taken with this Gosky spotting scope and how well built it is. This scope will allow you to identify birds or any type of wildlife without spooking the animals by getting really close. If this review helped in your decision, please mark helpful.

I purchased this scope for the main purpose of viewing wildlife with students while on hiking field trips. It is a huge upgrade in quality from the one I had previously been using and therefore I feel it is a great value for the price point. It is compact and lightweight enough to carry in my backpack all day or even separately in its carrying case. The set up is efficient and especially quick and easy to rotate the position of the eyepiece to accommodate different heights of the students as they are taking turns looking through it. I wasn't sure if the cell phone adapter would be compatible with my iPhone 12 pro since it has multiple cameras, but with a little practice you can isolate the best option of the phone's cameras and successfully take photos. Overall I am very satisfied with this product and I would recommend it to others leading groups in the outdoors. The customer service was very helpful and attentive as well, so if you have any questions about the scope it is worth your effort to contact them.

The Price vs. quality ratio is great for this scope. Very clear and sharp at 20x and very decent at 60x and several miles distance. Much better than a $500 scope I have. I am going to compare it to two $1600+ scopes and will update the review. The only issue is when focusing fine or coarse at 60x the image rotates/moves slightly but nothing prohibitive.

Just had this scope delivered, I must say I’m really impressed. The build quality is excellent, setting up was very easy. Focused on a tree about 500 yards away and went through the magnification range and for the money I thought the clarity is very good. I found the dual focusing easy to use, as I said before for the money it’s excellent value. Would recommend to anyone. Would recommend a strong stable table scope to mount it on.

Erstaunlich gute Qualität für den günstigsten Preis. Es ist natürlich kein Spitzenprodukt, aber nicht viel schlechter. Bei sehr hellen Objekten vor dunklem Hintergrund (wie weißen Schwänen auf einem gepflügten Acker) sieht man Farbsäume, sonst eigentlich nicht. Gute Scharfeinstellung. Es ist im Feld voll brauchbar. Empfehlenswert!

Ich habe mich nach langer, umfangreicher Suche und Recherche hier für dieses Spektiv in der Größe 20-60x80 als etwas kostenintensiveres Modell entschieden und wurde bisher nicht enttäuscht. Nur hinsichtlich des beiligenden Halters für Samrtphone habe ich mich andersweitig orientiert und bei einem Mitbewerber zugekauft. Zu beachten ist jeweils, dass die Verwendung einer Smartphonekamera für Aufnahmen nach meiner Erfahrung nur dann gegeben ist, wenn dies mit nur 1 Kamera ausgestattet ist. Neue Modelle haben jedoch oftmals mehrere Kameras. Bei allen, das Spektiv betreffende Fragen, ist eine super Kommunikation mit Amazon und dem Hersteller möglich gewesen. Auch das war für mich eine klare Kaufentscheidung. Bei der Verwendung des Spektivs ist ein stabiles Stativ generell und im Zoombereich zu empfehlen.

Tolle Einstellung, auch Preis Leistung ist sehr gut leider eine kleine Bemerkung der Handy Adapter der dabei war, war zu klein

Easy to use. Sharp image quality with the addition of fine tuning. Great value for the money.
