Gosky Titan 12X50 Monocular Telescope with Smartphone Holder - Waterproof Fog-Proof Shockproof Scope BAK-4 Prism FMC for Bird Watching Hunting Camping Traveling Wildlife Scenery

This is the real deal! I just got this today in preparation for our Canadian Rockies trip next week and it needed no “breaking in”. Easy peasy. Of course I also read the itsy bitsy manual first to ensure I do it right. Don’t believe the nay sayers on how this doesn’t work. It does! Don’t blame the product for human error, guys! Ok so here’s the lowdown. Great picture quality for such great distance! Of course you can’t expect super crisp photos when you’re “zoomed” from that far. Let’s be realistic and remember this is not even $80! Very easy to install/use - like I said - easy peasy. I have the iPhone X. Make sure you line it up with the top camera as the iPhone X has two cameras. Has some weight to it but not bad. Tip: Once you’ve focused the lens, hold the monocular from under with your left hand (if you’re a rightie) and the phone with your right hand, clip your arms to your sides (never stretch out your arms or take a photo with your arms away from your body), hold as still as you can, and snap gently. Good quality - I really think this will last a good while. And lastly, I find that I am still able to text even with the attachment on (without the monocular of course coz that will be heavy but I suppose I still can). This way I am able to more quickly set it up if I need to capture something in a rush. Just attach the attachment just right under the volume buttons on the left. Don’t go any higher than that as it will squeeze the buttons and you end up with a silent phone. Past it and you might also end up like me - accidentally sending out an SOS to the police! (When you hold the power button down for 5 seconds it makes an emergency call for help! - I hope the police don’t show up now! Oops! Haha) See my two photos and see for yourself just how much closer it will bring your subjects for a photo! It’s insane!

Very cool item. Clarity is amazing. Very strong, well balanced and comfortable to hold. I love that the eye peace can be adjusted if you wear glasses so you can leave them on. Very powerful scope and with your phone camera attached you can zoom in even more. The clarity is amazing. No fogging. I've used it in the rain and all types of weather. No issues at all. I've had many scopes in the past, this one by far is the best I've ever had. I researched many monocular before I purchased this one. I definitely made the right choice. I have been using this all summer. Love it, lots of fun. I had a small imperfection on the larger lens. I contacted the seller less than 2 days later I was sent a replacement. No questions asked They told to keep the original 0ne, no need to send back. Amazing seller. When I first contacted the seller I had a response in a very short time. I have had several conversations via email. Alan, from the service team, great guy by the way, was incredibly helpful. Look no further. This is the monocular you want. Again unbeatable, amazing customer service (literally the best I have ever dealt with) and of course the monocular is amazing.

Great for whale and bird watching! Star gazing is not too bad but wish it had a better magnification. The moon looks great you get decent visibility but harder to anything much further. Great quality, compact and convenient to pack. Quality lenses and fun to carry around on a hike.

The monocular is pretty nice. The eye cup is Innovative and the visual quality is pretty good, but if you look closely the focus is off around the edges which shows on photos as a distortion. Using just as a monocular focusing on the main subject your brain interprets it and it looks great overall. As a phone photography system which is what it’s being billed as a product - it is completely misrepresented by showing photographs zoomed in birds full screen. So the images provided by the manufacturer are quite misleading. I looked through the category at other competitive products and they all show a bird of some sort in a full screen picture on their phone. And in all cases they actually show a circle around the outside as if you’re looking through a telescope. This effect is caused by the distance between the glass lens in the Monocular and the lens on the camera. The creative mounting system but they’ve come up with to replace the old one (that wasn’t very good) causes an increased air gap between the lenses further exacerbating the low picture quality Incidentally there seems to be no way humanly possible to take a photo as shown in the advertising pictures. You shoot a picture with an image with black edges around it and you crop it into another picture lowering the resolution further. That’s how they’re showing the photo of a bird it’s actually not an actual photograph it’s a cropped photo and “simulated” on the phone. And with that being said they have to crop it really tight to get whatever was in the very center otherwise you will see all the distortion around the outside. Take a look at the picture uploaded as I think it clearly shows distortion in multiple locations everywhere other than the very center. So for this reason I give this a three and am returning the product. If you want the gosky monocular by itself there’s another listing here. And I think it’s totally worth the money. But the phone accessory is a bust. Don’t believe the manufacturer images.

Love this product. I've kept them near at hand on all of my latest hunting outings. I appreciate how sharp the Image appears and ease of focus at all ranges. I am able to see very clearly at low light conditions and in heavily shaded areas. Easy to carry, convenient and an awesome deal, wow, certainly did not expect the quality. Will not be my last Gosky purchase. Very satisfied.

Gosky Titan is a great well built monocular at a very reasonable price point which delivers excellent performance. Its ideal for birding and casual long distance viewing. The magnification of 12x is great for regular bird watching. The advantage over a binocular is that the monocular is smaller and easier to carry. The binocular however is better to view for a longer period of time as in a monocular you have to keep one eye closed. Very clear lens and large object lens diameter of 50 means that there is clarity of the object being seen. The it comes with an attachable lens cover on both sides. Making it convinent to protect the monocular. Dust proof and water proof with a good grip on the rubber coated surface. The only minus I felt was that the digiscoping with the attached smartphone holder isnt ideal for a Iphone 12 pro. The size of the Iphone 12 Pro lens doesnt allow for a fit to the smartphone holders lens attachment, leaving a small 3 mm distance between the holder and the phone. The pictures tend to be a bit washed out and underwhelming. On a Samsung Galaxy however the pictures are crisper due to the smaller lens and lesser distance between the phone and the holder. I would thoroughly recommend this monocular for any one who wants to watch birds in their backyard or on hikes.

Great and have tried... Very happy. Hope will last...

Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist gut. Es sind aus meiner Sicht einiges zu verbessern, auch u.U. durch sehr einfache Massnahme. Ich weiss leider nicht ob mein Verbesserungsvorschlag (angeblich an Technik weitergeleitet) ernst genommen wird. Wir haben es in Urlaub mitgenommen und merken, dass die Fokusierung nicht sehr fein ist, also man kann durch mühsame Fokusierung kein sehr gutes/scharfes Bild (mit einer Entfernung von ca. 200m-1000m) bekommen.

la funziona telescopica agli occhi quasi perfetto. adatto sul smartphone per migiorare lo zoom degli oggetti lontano si vede: c'è ancora spazio per miglioramenti. la chiusura con lo smartphone è abbastanze traballante, e la qualitá degli foto fatti in questo modo non mi convince. Comunque, rimane un bel monoculare...
