This is a great budget spotting scope. I have used it at the range when sighting in at 200+ yards. Also when scouting for upcoming hunts. Can read a STOP sign at 4 miles away. Some blurring at the edges……but why would you be looking at the edges? For the money it works great, and I dont have to be overly worried about cosmetic bumps and bruises. The tripod it comes with is tiny but functional. The carry bag has held up well. I have lost the lens caps, but that’s no fault of the scope. But an improvement might be to somehow allow them to remain attached when opened up. Would definitely recommend to anyone getting in to hunting, who have a limited budget, and too much other gear to buy still.

Bought to watch sailboats out of my window. I can see them up to several miles away from inside my house with this scope. I am blown away by the photo quality. At about half a mile I can make out the words on a “No trespassing sign” on a beach area on 60x zoom although it’s ever so slightly blurred. Strong value for the money. I also haven’t tested it, but Athlon claims they have a lifetime no questions asked warranty policy in the included manual.The tripod works ok for sitting at a desk but it’s too short for anything else. Construction is sturdy and the device feels good. The telescoping eye protector works well as do all of the knobs.Only quibble is that the knob that tightens and u tightens to allow the device to rotate makes contact with the focus knob at about -75 degrees from North, so you cannot fully rotate the device circumferentially when it’s mounted to a tripod. Not a big deal.

They don’t feel overly sturdily built or hefty, and I’m not sure how the lenses’ alignment will hold up over time or with a drop. The picture quality was not that much worse than a Zeiss scope I tried out (I’m also an optics newb, so ymmv), though considerably dimmer with a more limited view due to the eyepiece (believe it’s upgradable though). You won’t get usable 60x from this; chromatic aberration sets in around 30x, is horrid by 60x, and 60x is also quite dim and washed out, just not a great experience. But the 20-30x experience isn’t bad, not too dim, and I doubt it’s beatable at this price point.Still, I’m finding myself still using my binoculars mostly, which are higher grade. This was baby’s first scope, and I’m not sure I like the format, which isn’t really a dig on this particular model, but the overall picture quality is definitely a step down from my Monarch M5s, which aren’t that pricey to begin with for binos.The included tripod, as you might guess, is trash. Why bother including it? Put the money elsewhere… The case is also poorly padded, which is concerning given the mediocre sturdiness. I’d prefer a better eyepiece and no extras rather than the afterthoughts it came with for accessories.
