Gosky EagleView Spotting Scope 20-60x 85 HD Spotter Scope with Smartphone Adapter for Target Shooting Bird Watching Wildlife Scenery Astronomy

I bought this for our porch as we have a nice view of our local river and because I am nosey and want to see who may be catching fish! It works very well and is a great product for the price. It is mounted on a tripod and is always outside on a covered porch.

This is amazing. You can look at the stars, under water, anything hard for the naked eye to see this will help you see. It comes with a great case to carry it all in, a nice stand for it sit up on, has cleaning clothes for the lens, and YOUR PHONE can be hooked up to it to be able to see it even better!!!! It works great. This is an absolute great buy for your money!

I bought this to use on the rifle range. I hoped to use this for spotting up to 300 yards, but I knew that the distance might be stretching the capacity of the scope. At the outset, one has to say that there is actually nothing wrong with this scope. The scope appears to be well-made and sturdy. Adjusting the scope for power and focus is easy. The phone mount actually works pretty well. You have to fool around with it to get a good fit on the spotting scope and it takes some patience to get the target centered in the spotting scope so that you can see the image on the camera. But it does work, and the images come out pretty well. I did not modify the images above to enhance them in any way other than to crop them so that I could post them in this review. I didn’t bother to use the included tripod because I had a much sturdier version of my own. The padded case works well and should be substantial enough to protect the scope from damage due to the regular bumps that it will invariably receive. I gave this scope four stars because it does well for the money, but it does not have the quality found in scopes that are far more expensive. If you are intending to use this for the range, be aware that your target distance will determine your degree of satisfaction with this scope. I used spatter targets for my 5.56mm rifle, hoping that the targets would highlight enough for the shots to be seen on the scope. (The 5.56 mm round leaves the same size hole as .22, or .223 rounds - so it is pretty small.) I put the scope on a good solid tripod on a concrete target table. If I was careful not to touch the scope very much I could see the shots at 200 yards pretty well. The photo on the left was taken of a target 200 yards downrange with my iPhone that was attached to the scope. There was a pretty good wind blowing at the range, and the wind affected the scope to the extent that I really had trouble seeing where the rounds impacted. When the wind was calm, of course, the image improved. When I used the scope for my targets at 300 yards, It was nearly impossible to get a clear view of the target because of the wind blowing the spotting scope around. The camera has a quicker eye than I do, and it caught some good shots at 300 yards. As you can see, you can just make out the shots on the spatter target. The targets in the photos are 17 inches in diameter, and the bulls-eye is 3 inches in diameter. The quality of optics really makes a difference. I use a 4.5x14x44 Sig Sauer scope, and the shots on the rifle scope appear clearer than with the spotting scope for 200 yards. If you are shooting at 25-150 yards, I think that this scope will make you happy. At distances greater than that, you have to balance the small dent this makes in your budget against your need to see your shots at greater distances. If you are not going to use splatter-type targets, then scale down your expectations. At the bottom line, this is a well-made spotting scope for the money that will work on the range at reasonable yardage. If you want to get a spotting scope for regular use at 200+ yards, then you will probably have to pay a lot more for a scope that has much clearer optics.

For the money, this scope is well worth the $ spent. We have a few years on us, and for target shooting out to 100+ yards.....Crystal clear. Sharp focus which is also fast and very clear. A+++ on this purchase. Nothing to complain about on this scope. The angled up eye piece is also very nice compared to our old Bausch and Lomb. They do send a low end tripod with the scope which might serve well for a table mount....not much to brag about on the tripod.

I don't know why it was listed as refurbished, it appeared new to me, only thing I found was it adjusted way out of focus upon first use. Once I had it dialed by in, it works great, and used it several times since, out on the long distant gun ranges.

Nice spotting scope for range use. I spot targets out to 200 yards. It is easier to use a Shoot-N-C target past 100 yards.

Good quality doesn’t have to cost a fortune! Good clarity in the lenses. Clean view works well. Tripod is crap. Very um sturdy and unstable. But for use at the range it’s fine. Not built for field use. Very heavy compared to better brands weighs almost as much as my rifle lol All in all good product

I don't typically write reviews, but I find them very useful in making purchasing decisions. If you are in the market for a good scope that combines the ease of use of your smart phone with optical magnification, this is the one. With just a glance at the instructions, I had it put together and using it within minutes. I found you need to take off any phone case you have installed if you want a good tight seal between the phone camera and the eyepiece. I had a blurry halo effect around the image until I did so. After removing the phone case, the blurriness cleared up and worked as expected and as advertised. Between a cheap pair of binoculars and a scope, I find the scope provides the best value for the money and the best way to capture the type of images and video I expect from a setup like this. Beyond smart phone use, the product is very rugged and sturdy and comes with a padded carrying case. The tabletop tripod included with it are good enough (metal and sturdy), but if you need height, invest in a good camera mount tripod. Now that I know I'm going to stick with this scope, I am thinking about accessories to make this product even more useful. Regarding customer service, after receiving my product, I registered my warranty right away. Within a few days, I received a welcome email from Alan at Gosky Optics Customer Service. Very prompt, very courteous. I am extremely happy with them and my purchase.

While not cheap, this instrument is a very impressive bit of kit. The optics are pin sharp, the device feels very well made and is nicely designed and finished. On these zoom minoculars, you often find the highest magnification settings give a dull and hazy image, but not so on this. Even using the 60x zoom, the image is very sharp indeed. Its also easy to focus, and simple to set up, and comes in a decent quality bag for easy transportation. The tripod is a simple but effective metal affair, which works well. The tripod mount is also a standard fixing, which means just about any tripod can be used, if you need something bigger or more substantial. I found the phone adapter to be a bit of a faff to set up properly, but can achieve impressive results. Comes with decent lense covers, a quality bad, a lense cleaning cloth, and phone adapter. I'm delighted with the quality of this item, and can heartily recommend it. A++ 👌

Franchement impressionner par cette longue vue. Image nette en zoom x20 x40 et plus sombre a x60 mais reste acceptable surtout pour le prix. Je regrette pas mon achat. Je regarder la lune avec et franchement j’ai été vraiment surpris de pourvoir voir les cratères aussi bien. Aucun regret

注文してから２日程で届きました。梱包は、大きめのAmazonの段ボールで、クション材が、がっちり入っていてとても丁寧な梱包でした。goskyの スコープも、色々と、レビューをみたり、youtebeを見たりして、評価が、高かかったので、決めました。 コストパフォーマンスも、とても良くて、この値段では、手に入らない品物だと思います。開封したばかりで、まだ使用しませんが、評価通りのものだと期待しています。バードウォッチングや、月の鑑賞で楽しもうと思っています。

I was cynical about the optical quality of a monocular worth 15K INR. The binocular that I use costs 35K+ but that's something I use most of the time. The spotting scope I bought was mainly for wetland birding, including coastal, shore and offshore birds, something that I won't be indulging in too much post the migratory season is over (in India it hits peak between Nov and April). Hence I didn't wish to spend much. However, the optical quality and the utility of the mobile camera adapter has far exceeded my expectations. Please check the images of the ducks and the terns shot from over 75 and 100 meters away respectively. With patience and some practise, you can get images useful enough for identification when your camera and binocs fail, which is often the case in wetland birding. It's not a substitute for the photographic lens is what one must remember. Once you accept that fact, it is a great monocular for spotting and identifying distant birds at an unbeatable price. I have not used it for any other purpose yet, but my wife plans to use it for stargazing. Once she tries it out, will update or tell her to post a separate review. A slightly heavier build would have been preferable since I found it unstable in windy conditions at 60x zoom. But I guess this is what you can expect for 15k. The mini tripod is an absolutely useless accessory included in the package and I have trashed it already. So I suggest Gosky remove it and deduct a few hundred bucks off the price. Bottom line: 20/10 for the mobile adapter, 10/10 for optics, 6/10 for build and ergonomics and 0/10 for the mini tripod. Give a thumbs up if you find this helpful.

I am quite satisfied with the product and have also been using this spotting scope for occasional exploration of the stars & constellations and take pictures of them with my galaxy s9 plus mobile camera, which can be easily attached to the scope. The results have been great for my expectations and therefore happy with the investment.
