Gosky Spotting Scope, 20-60x60 Spotting Scopes for Target Shooting & Hunting & Bird Watching, BAK4 High Definition, Angled Spotter Scope with Tripod, Phone Adapter, Carrying Bag

Excellent scope. We took it to Yellowstone (a must to see anything) to view the wildlife from the roads. Easy to set up and use. The stand is short but great for putting on railing or the hood of your car for quick viewing. The piece that connects your phone to the scope could be better - it worked as expected the first time we had it out. It’s made of plastic and the engineering requires tightening the piece to the eye view of the scope. The tracks that secure the connection can slip off/out of sink VERY easily - especially if you have a heavier phone (I have a iPhone max). It was 3-5 minute fix each time we went to set it up the scope. We got tired/annoyed fixing it every time we set up or if we moved it by accident - that was frustrating. When it was working however, we got some AMAZING shots! The distance it covers is incredible. Getting clear shots takes some finessing but worth it. Overall, the scope is phenomenal! The phone conversion piece needs work.

I started looking at really cheap $30 scopes and the more I read the more I got concerned they really don't offer much clarity at a distance over 30-40 yards. I selected this one because it was the entry level scope on the professional class BK4. I often find that to be a sweet spot for me on most products. The low end of the top tier of quality. It is well built, feels solid and since Im not transporting to the weight isnt an issue for me. I can clearly see holes in my target at 100+ yards and thats all I needed. However, I am dying to try some moon shots with my camera and look at wildlife in the trees around my house when Im not at the range! Love this selection. You wont be dissapointed and you will save some serious money if your needs are similar to mine.

It performs great in first 2/3 of zoom range. Great sharpness . In archery it is amazing up to about 60 yards. The last 1/3 is barely satisfactory so past 60 yards you sacrifice either focus or zoom range. I can still see my arrows at 100 yard distance but the picture gets fuzzier when you zoom in all theway. Great for the money.

This 20X60X80MM spotting scope is incredible. Highly recommend for the avid hunter or shooting enthusiast. Here are my pros; 1. Great handling scope. I never felt like it would slip from my hands. 2. The glass on this thing is crystal clear. No excuses on missing wildlife on the next ridge over. 3. Very simple to use out of the box. 4. The remote shutter device is an added bonus in my opinion. I synced it to my iPhone in seconds and was able to take pictures without touching the tripod or spotting scope. 5. The lifetime warranty is awesome because I will be putting this thing to the test. 6. Waterproof!!! Can it get any better? Here are my cons. 1. Take a look at my photos and you will see that the mounting of the scope to the tripod is 90degrees off in my opinion. It doesn’t hurt the performance in anyway but in order for the vertical up and down to work correctly you have to mount the scope 90 degrees opposite of the mount. 2. The eye piece protective cap needs some sort of restraint to keep it intact to the scope. I will loose it for sure. 3. There are 2 extra caps and I have no idea what they are for. In my personal outdoors opinion, I would recommend this product 100%.

The Gosky HD Spotting Scope 20 60x80 mm works great, especially for the price point. The image is sharp, the zoom is smooth, and it performs really well for birdwatching and range use. The only downside is the phone adapter, which does not work at all. It does not line up properly and makes it hard to get any usable photos. Even with that issue, the scope itself is excellent and worth it for the quality you get.

BOUGHT THIS TO COMPARE WITH MY $800.00 VORTEX VIPER HD, IN A 20-60X85 CONFIGURATION. (CHECK AROUND AND SEE WHAT THOSE RUN FOR.) SET THEM BOTH UP AND LOOKED AT A CABIN ABOUT A MILE AWAY. THIS ONE WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING THE SAME AS FAR AS CLARITY AND DEFINITION, THAT I COULD JUST BARELY TELL THE DIFFERENCE. THAT DIFFERENCE DID NOT WARRANT SPENDING THE EXTRA MONEY TO BUY A "BETTER" BRAND. GRANTED, NEITHER OF THE TWO SCOPES WERE ZEISS OR SWAROVSKI, BUT FOR THE MONEY, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG!

I'm new to the whole binocular / monocular / spotting scope thing, and wanted to upgrade from basic binoculars, to something that would allow us to better see all the birds, ducks, etc. in our backyard. It might seem like a big jump to go from cheap binoculars to a Gosky HD Spotting Scope - but WOW! The difference is well worth it. AFTER RESEARCH - CHOSE GOSKY: After many hours of research, I decided to narrow it down to several brands... and decided that Gosky has a good selection of products and is very well rated - not only via Amazon reviews, but also in several online articles rating scopes. FULLY COATED 80mm LENS/BAK-4 PRISM/HD: Even though there were cheaper Gosky (and other) spotting scopes available, I went with this HD scope. I would rather pay a little more for higher quality now, than pay less and get a so-so image. Isn't that the most important feature of any scope - to have a great view of what you're looking at? 20x-60x ZOOM: I thought it might be overkill for looking at the backyard, but it's actually perfect. I can easily switch from looking at the feeders, to moving up and seeing what is in the trees. Considering this is my first spotting scope, I would say it has a very intuitive design...and it feels solid and precise when I move the knobs. OTHER NICE FEATURES: It's waterproof (fully), has a sunshade (not all do), nice lens covers (important), carrying case (sleek style, with padding), and came with a tabletop tripod (which is much better quality than another one I received with a different camera purchase). Also, I had a question I sent them, and Gosky Support emailed me back on the same day. OPEN ITEMS: My only open items are that I need to figure out the smart phone adapter better - having a hard time getting things to line up and hold nicely. And, I think it would be good to have a full-size tripod so that I could use it outside / look up at the moon, etc.. OVERALL: Very happy with this purchase, and will look for other Gosky items in the future!

When not zoomed in, the image is pretty good. When you zoom in, the image loses brightness, contrast and clarity. If used as a spotting scope, that won't matter much, but limits the image quality when bird and wildlife watching. The camera mount is usable, but is challenging to get and keep my phone camera lined up. It also does not fit a larger phone with a case. Overall, this is okay, but not great.
