Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2020
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.

Pros:
Really inexpensive way to get into the hobby. For a relatively small cost, you're getting a great zoom level.
Perfect for bird identification photos.
Seems really robust and sturdy. I don't mind just slinging this over the shoulder and going for a hike, rather than having a lens where I'm worried that any bump is going to cause a misalignment. It is a little heavy, but I'd rather heavy and sturdy than light and fragile.
Cons:
Weak link is the connector to the phone. It's fiddly to get aligned just right sometimes. Sometimes I think I've gotten a great shot and then checking it out afterwards I have weird dark patches on the photo because the scope and camera weren't totally aligned.
The photos you get won't be professional quality. this is less a knock on the scope, moreso, on digiscoping as compared to traditional cameras. You'll get great photos for identification and sharing.
If there was one feature I'd like on the scope itself, I'd love some tactile indicator on the focus adjustment knob so you can remember just by touch which way is focusing closer and further. I find myself frequently turning it the wrong way.
General advice:
1. Get a good tripod. You'll want one that's adjustable up to standing height, light-weight, and has a pan/tilt-handle. (I got one that didn't have a handle and ended up deciding that I needed to make one). The tripod that comes with the scope is sturdy, but setting up and sitting on the ground isn't great for birding. I got one with a ball-head mount, and I'm not sure it's better than one with bi-directional pan head. My sense is that ball-heads allow you to quickly adjust to unusual angles, but pan heads are a little easier for fine-tuning your adjustments. The scope is quite front-heavy when mounted on a tripod.
2. Use a good camera app. I use Camera+ 2 on the iphone and find that it's a lot better than the standard camera app. While you can use both the manual focus and the phone's focus ability, I find the best approach is to get my focus close with the scope, and then use the focus on the camera do the rest. A great approach is to use autofocus on something at the same depth as the bird (a branch or leaf), and lock the focus... then you don't have to worry about the bird moving and the camera suddenly deciding to focus on the distant background.
Speaking of apps, you'll definitely want to get Merlin, for use with identifying birds... you can leave Merlin running, stay in your camera app, and you'll get notifications when new bird calls are detected. (also, this is a beat of a cheat, but playing a bird call back through Merlin can be a great way to get a shy songbird to come out in the open.) Paying attention to bird calls and learning to recognize them is both rewarding and really useful.
3. The zoom on this scope is really powerful, but if there's one thing that's challenging, it's when a bird is too close. There's just no way to focus on a bird that's closer than about 12 feet (and you can't quickly dismount your phone if you want to switch). It's important to understand your zoom on your camera phone: typically you've got both an optical and digital zoom. Digital zoom isn't actually zooming in any closer, just expanding the pixels, so generally there isn't any point in zooming in beyond your optical zoom threshold. Remember that the closer you are, the narrower your depth of field is, so don't bother trying to get as close as you can. If you're photographing a larger bird like a goose or heron, you might not be able to get it all into the shot if you're too close.
4. Depending on your phone settings, you may find that your picture is inside a circular vignette, especially when your phone's zoom is set to 1. For my phone, there's a zoom sweet-spot between 1.5 to 2, where the picture fills the full frame and I'm still using optical zoom.
5. Accept that it's going to take a while to set up a shot. This is ultimately the big downside to digiscoping: you can't just point-and-shoot. You'll miss out on some shots because the bird takes off while you're still trying to dial in your focus. When I'm photographing songbirds, I spend a lot of time observing what branches they like and where they move, getting my focus locked in on where I think it's going to go, and then waiting. Getting any good action shots likely requires both a lot of preparation and luck.
6. Bring a pair of binoculars, even cheap small ones. If you're trying to tell at a distance if a bird is worth your effort, it's easier to just check it out through binoculars first.
7. Start with wetlands. Geese and ducks make way better targets for the beginner, since they're large and slow-moving. Songbirds are a lot more challenging. Practice quickly getting your zoom and focus set. Because you're looking down at the scope rather than through it (like a binocular or telescope), it can take a little while to actually get it pointed where you want as well, so it's good to practice using landmarks (ie. that bird is below a prominent tree on the horizon so I'll find that tree first, and then pan down until I get to the bird).
8. A lot of your photo quality is going to be determined by your post-processing. This is something I'm not really experienced with yet, but if you want to try and push this beyond just identification into really vivid, high-quality photos, you'll need to work in a desktop photo-processing app.
The product is really awesome clarity good buy, Perfectly packed.
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++ 👌
