Pros & Cons
Pros
The optics are clear & the magnification is perfect for our needs. As a spotting scope, it is quite good. The main thing i would like improved is the purple fringing and clarity at higher zoom.
Lightweight, but solid construction. Well weighted and well balanced. Scope is superior in all respects.
Bought this for a spotting scope at the rifle range. Keeping track of where the hits are after shooting 6 or 8 rounds still requires walking up to the target and marking the hits.
It mates with a thread on the end of the eyepiece once the rubber eye guard is removed. Paired this with the reticam tabletop tripod and am good to go.
Cons
At 55x, it has less zoom than my vortex 5-25 scope. Very hard to focus.

Binoculars ive owned throughout the years without expensive glass or any fancy coatings
Competitiveness
At that price and even up to 90 i would say this is a no brainer and worthy of a 5star review
I like the advertised waterproofness and hope that it lives up to that claim
For some background i have a 400 pair 8x42 binoculars that cant even compare to all of the other cheaper 8x25 10x42 porro prisms etc

I purchased the celestron 1855x65 45° spotting scope used in very good condition from amazon for 75

I was talked out of it by a friend who has a 80mm scope and told me it wasnt worth the added bulk and weight for the price especially when considering my intended nonprofessional use

I remember not being able to really use binoculars properly at their age and always found myself closing one eye to look through only one objective since i could never get my vision to line up
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Focusing clearly was always an issue and then there was handshake all of which made binoculars not so fun to use
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I see them fiddling and struggling to use binoculars as well and with a scope my hope is to set it up on a stable tripod pointed right at a feeder and have them only have to move the focus ring slightly a decent scope at this price range was exactly what i was looking for
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Ok now onto the scope itself
